lyme and knees

  I have not tested positive for lyme but my doc who is lyme literate believes I have it and I have been treated for it.  I am no longer taking any meds but believe I should start them again.

I have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in all three compartments of my knees and have baker's cysts as well.

The bone on bone pain migrates between the knees............long periods of pain in one knee while the other is fine.  Then the bad knee seems ok and the other knee has pain.

Now the bone on bone pain is gone  but my knees are swollen and my quadricep muscles are sore and weak. 

Is the muscle pain indicative of lyme?   Any thoughts on what to do?  I have been exercising and trying to strengthen my muscles.  I do not generally have a problem with fatigue.

Other symptoms...............night sweats at times,  stomach issues (not severe), irritated eyes, etc.

My problems seem to decrease and increase..........almost as though they were on a cycle. 

Ann and spriingsjean.. are either of you on HRT. I was having so much more symptoms like the sweaiting and anxiety and not able to sleep and joint pain and I just got on bioidentical hormones and it is so much better.

I was really loosing my mind. I take estrogen, testostrone, progesterone, thyroid t/3 t/4 and DHEA and vit D3
and got happier and am having dreams, no sweating or anxiety. I actally over did it because I had so much energy . I was able to lift heavy boxes and run up and down stairs. This mornign myknees were buckling from like apinche nerve in my spine but now I realize cause I was running around lifting heavy stuff.

There is an article somewhere about hormones and lyme. I can see how you would fel like you are relapsing and you may be but if your hormones are out of wack you will feel like it either way.
