Lyme Disease Support Group

thank you

I always flare around my period and on the mepron last month (first round) I had lots of night sweats and definite temperature regulation issues. I would get chills and shake, then sweat etc. No documented fever, though.

Joints and bones hurt a lot (so what's new) and I've become listless and extremely fatigued. I had one severe headache that drove me to the hospital for painkillers but LLMD warned that this was common.

He also warned me about rashes and allergy-like side effects that weren't true allergies. It's also made me depressed which I'm sure the endless pain contributes to.

Cognitive functioning is way down as well which is probably some of the Lyme and some of the mepron, combined with no sleep and poor appetite (Mepron has also taken away my appetite.)

In short, I'm pretty much a pathetic mess who is too tired to play w/ her kids but I have one more week so I can hold out. I definitely feel that Mepron causes a lot of direct side-effects that are unrelated to the Babesia but I'm not sure I'll ever know which is which.

I'll pretty much drink gasoline if it will make all of this go away.
