Joy of joys - a full moon on it's way - and my body has already started it's "celebration"!! Anyone else?

For those that don't know yet, the full moon can increase our symptoms for some of us. It's not known exactly how or why or even why it only affects some of us, but I am here - and many others too! - to tell you that it most certainly does affect some of us! UGH!

This months lovely variety for me is intestinal and joint issues, and lovely things that they are, headaches.

I think this is turning into my monthly whine session!! LOL! :-) (Anyone got cheese to go with my whine? I prefer a nice goat milk cheese if you don't mind! smilewinkgrin)

I have ! I have! *waving hands in the air*

Headaches, joints, muscles, brain fog, sinuses, back and neck pain and herxing. Nothing but good times here. I was thinking it was the new herbals and supplements I'm on, but it's only been a few days. I think it's a bit soon for me to be reacting to them. I'm debating whether its a good or bad thing that the moon can cause this sort of thing. I didn't react too badly during the last full moon, but here we go again. It's going to be a long few days. Good luck.

Well, Mister Mike, if you can't wait, I would be more than happy to share some of my increased symptoms with you! LOL! smilewinkgrin


I'm so very sorry Cheetahjade! Hang on! I hope you can find some way to ease your symptoms.

Interesting - I'm having a bad night.
I haven't had this happen in the past - didn't think full moons affected me. hmmm...we'll see how this turns out.

Some believe parasites act up during the full moon, so if one gets an aggravation of symptoms during a full moon, then parasites may need to be addressed...

I also believe the moon cycles interact with women's hormone cycles...and we know Lyme loves to play with our hormones...

Joy (not!! :)

Thanks for putting us on alert. I, too, have had an increase in symptoms during the full moon. Now I'm realizing I should note the moon status in my symptoms journal.

Hope all the nastiness passes soon!!

I had a big increase in anxiety/panic this morning. Maybe it's related?

If you have any doubts or are just wondering, start noting when the full moon is each month in your symptom journaling.

Some find that they have increased symptoms leading up to the full moon, or only during the full moon, or only after the full moon and some have them during the whole time.

During my first infection, I noticed that I responded during the full moon and for 3 days after, but at some point in time, it switched to only during.

This time around, it's for 3 days leading up to the full moon and the day of.

Yeah i need to post a note to remind myself of moon calendars. Not doing well and yeah, cant wait until tomorrow. Hopefully i can just sleep the night away.

Phooey on the full moon! It's beautiful but man, I think it does make my symptoms worse :(
Posted 1/4/2015 7:08 PM (GMT -5)
Definitely worse here... I'm in pain and I can't seem to stay awake, I've been sleeping 20hrs of the last 24hrs... Yesterday about 18hrs.

I won't be flying my broom this time...
Posted 1/4/2015 9:08 PM (GMT -5)
Is there a reason for this? At first doubted it but the past three days I've been getting gradually worse and I'm now wondering.... I looked back in my log of days and there seems to be a pattern.
so would symptoms build up to the day of the full moon, or would it just be tthat one day?
Posted 1/4/2015 10:13 PM (GMT -5)
Yep, sick as a dog...tingling, headache, and I cannot sleep
Posted 1/4/2015 10:41 PM (GMT -5)
Yes, I am feeling more anxious and nervous since yesterday. Today worse with imbalance, dropping things and leg aches, confusion. Big knot in my solar plexus from wondering why! I think you all have made a connection for me.

my symptoms usually worsen right up until the full moon - the full moon is sort of the release stage for me but that's also the best time of my female cycle (also synced up with the moon) so that might be why I have my best couple weeks right after the full moon.

Utahgal my anxiety seemed to flare up pretty bad this month with the moon too! No fun at all...

border, I got the same cycle.

Its hard to find study's on this, and sleep and so on, but I found this one site
www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/spiritualresearch/spiritualscience/spiritualeffectofmoon_on_man

Don't know much about it but a theory though
Posted 1/5/2015 10:16 AM (GMT -5)
Ugh, thanks for this post. I feel it too.
Posted 1/5/2015 10:31 AM (GMT -5)
I've never found any studies on it, but I have to admit that I've quit looking too. What I do know is from my own experience, symptoms flare around the full moon. And, after being here 7 & 1/2 yrs reading a ton of posts about this, I'm not the only one!! Many have symptoms that flare during this time. The specific pattern may differ (when your symptoms flare the most - before, during or after - and it doesn't happen with everyone or every time.

I'm actually looking forward to the full moon tonight...let it push out this baby!!!! LOL

For the rest of you I'm sorry. :( Here is to hoping that sometime in 2015 you will look at a full moon and not cringe!
Posted 1/5/2015 12:05 PM (GMT -5)
You had better let us all know when that little one is born so we can celebrate the new life as well!!! Pretty please??? :-)
