I am having heavy periods every two weeks. Is this part of Lyme or something else?

are you dx with LD? Have you done any steroids lately for pain? I know after I had my shots in my spine (which fyi is a HUGE no no for lymies), my periods have never been the same. They are VERY heavy now, insainly heavy for a few days. But every 2 weeks.... that could be a lot of things. I would talk to your doctor for sure. Do you have a lyme doc? I do know of a lyme friendly gyno , not sure where though, pm me if you're interested
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
