Hello all,
now that I've found out I have lyme, I'm looking back over the last eight years, trying to recall if there's been any time when I've had 'flare ups' or clues as to what was going on.
I do know one thing...after I have blood draw I sometimes have disseminated muscle pain and strange as this might sound, tingling in places, toe pain, hands etc.
I know this sounds crazy but I've got to think it must have somehow been linked to the lyme. Can anyone else relate or is this tipping the scales of my imagination?
Anyhow, I thought I'd ask as it might lead me down a new reserach path.

Hello! I don't know much about lyme disease and I'm not diagnosed with anything at this point but thought I'd put in my two cents :) .

Do you get particularly nervous or anxious about blood draws as I've heard/read that stress can trigger a flare up. An adrenalin reaction to pain can also cause tingling in the extremeties. If you are particularly tense in response to any anxiety it could cause muscle pain later.

Just some thoughts I guess :) .

Love and Prayers, Kelly
