I've been advised by my gyno to start taking Evening Primrose Oil. So far everything I've read has been great. Can anyone recommend a good brand (there are so many to choose from!)? Any good or bad interaction with Lyme symptoms?

I take a combination of flax and evening primrose. It is by Barleans and it is called Womens Essential. I don't know what your issues are and why you need it but it is supposed to help with menopausal issues. This is a refrigerated item. It is in liquid form. I put a tablespoon in a glass of water every morning and use that water to take my morning supplements. Hope this helps. LaLa

Thank you, I am glad to hear that others have taken it with success. I've been having very painful periods and can't take birth control pills due to heart issues, so my gyno recommended Evening Primrose Oil. With Lyme, I know I have to be careful what I take, so I was skeptical at first (my doc is not really lyme-literate, so he didn't know if it would have any negative effects.)

I took Evening Primrose before I knew I had lyme disease because it helps with fertility by increasing the amount of cervical mucous a woman produces. Sorry if thats too much information, but boy did it work. It also helps with reducing pms symptoms, and did very well with that too.
