Major Joint Pain right now: Could be lyme flaire?

Hi Everyone!

I haven't been on the lyme board lately. I've been spending time on the GERD board but fortunately, those issues seem to be resolving...thank goodness. BUT...now it seems I'm having another couple of issues. I am 50 years old, haven't had a period since February, so I honestly do not know if what I'm feeling could be menopause symptoms, old age or if my lyme has taken a different turn.

I have a storage unit filled with filing boxes and misc. stuff that I had to relocate to another facility last week. It was a lot of work and after I was done, I was completely exhausted. I finished doing all of this last Wednesday. Anyhow, the last few days, the joints in my hands, wrists, my forearms and my toes (and balls of my feet) are aching very bad. So much so that I'm having a hard time grabbing things and using my thumbs. When my lyme symptoms first started, my toes and bottom of my feet hurt badly but it went away after a few weeks. My lyme symptoms have never been about pain really. My symptoms are more tingling/vibrating and neuro type stuff. Also, my fatigue has been over the top for a couple of weeks and that has been never been one of my complaints really either.

Now that my tummy issues seem to be resolving, I'm considering taking my Samento and Banderol drops until I can get back on proper treatment. I see my lyme doc but not until Sept 25th unfortunately. I'm taking Alieve to help with the pain, but I'm kindof worried about this.

Ugh....the never ending saga of lyme I guess....
