Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. It is now one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the U.S. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, and is primarily transmitted to humans as well as dogs, horses and other domesticated animals by the bite of infected ticks.

I know this might sound weird but has anyone with Lymes gotten sore, sensative breasts. I use to feel like this when I was having my cycle but I have had hysterectomy for 5 years and having had a problem until recently.
It feels like when I use to drink alot of caffeine. Thye only thing is my doctor put me on Flagyl ( 1 mnth now) and I was taking fish oil capsules and haven't taken them for awhile. That is the only thing I have changed. I don't know if it is the meds because I am getting alot of my other stiffness and burning pains back. I would like any comments from others. Sorry for such a
weird question but it is really bad.

God Bless, slrow

Hi slrow,
I occasionally have breast tenderness, but I put it up to another weird symptom of this disease. Seems like everyday I have some strange ache or pain or mood or something. I always try to figure out what the cause of it is and sometimes I'm successful and other times not. Any new supplement or food or lack of something that was good for me is usually the culprit. I was on flagyl, but didn't have that symptom. I would definitely go back to taking omegas. They help with so much. Could be a herx reaction from the flagyl since you have all those other pains and don't have the omega to help with detoxing. Just a thought. Hope this helps. Hugs, Kris

One of my bizarre symptoms way back when was re-lactating. My child had been off breastmilk for a year!!!!! This is a BIZARRE disease, isn't it?

I've had that symptom once too. I thought initially it was bruising from karate (don't ask!), but now I know better. I was working with a young woman with Down's, and she had miscalculated her punches a couple times and hit me in the chest.

slrow, you could have Fybro or even some RA. Each person is differnt, but we all share lots of the same symptoms. My back constantly burns, so I use Ice pack all the time. pastorpegi
