Symptoms during colder weather

Last winter I had nausea issues as well as issues with feeling ear pressure and ear popping. My ENT could find nothing wrong after running several tests.

This summer these issues disappeared. As the weather has gotten colder these issues have come back.

Could this be Lyme related?

When I first got lyme...I dreaded the cold weather....My symptoms would ramp up...and would always be more manageable in the summer.

Well, so far this year...I'm okay with the weather change. I hope this continues.
I'm taking it as a sign that I'm getting close....

My shivers are much improved lately....so maybe my nervous system is finally calming down.

Does anyone get more mental issues during the cold weather? Like anxiety for example?

Yes! I am dealing with VERY heightened anxiety right now

Since I got Lymed ~30 years ago, I am sick and symptom-y anytime the weather is cold. But when it's 89F or above, I'm almost a normal healthy human again! Very weird. Pre-Lyme, I hated hot weather. Lyme theorists claim the bug hates heat, does better in cold. Most Lymies I know do better in warm weather-- but not all. Temperature tolerance changes of some kind are common with the Lymies of my acquaintance.
Why...? Umm....

Ozwin,
You sound like me, except I definitely don't feel normal when it's hot.

Before I got sick, I didn't like the heat because it came with so much humidity where I live, and I didn't like getting all sweaty all the time. I used to have trouble breathing in the humidity.

After I got sick, the opposite happened. I got to where I didn't sweat anymore and wasn't comfortably warm unless temps were in the 80's. Now if it's below 80, I'm usually wearing socks and closed-in shoes cause my feet get cold.

If I'm not really warm, I get cold hands and feet, which makes my whole body colder and makes me tense and stiffer and hurt more.
