44a - My Lyme disease and rheumatoid arthritis journey - No ovarian cysts!

My abdominal scan was clear, which is great, so it leaves me wondering what the abdominal pain is being caused by. I'm assuming it is inflammation caused by bowel flora imbalance, from the antibiotics. I am feeling a whole heap better, thanks largely to the full minocycline dose becoming effective again, but also, in part I think due to the progesterone cream rebalancing my hormones a little.

Hi sparky, Thanks for your support. Yes, I seem to have the symptoms in a new body part every couple of months lately. It's very confusing. Although I am slowly beginning to figure a few things out here and there. Like for instance the contraceptive pill causes my gallbladder to spasm like crazy. It is exhausting though constantly having a new body part affected and not knowing why.

I agree that attitude helps a lot. The power of positive thinking is immense. Glad the weed is helping you!

RA can cause pain and problems anywhere and everywhere I've found. If you have RA then that can explain it all- it's very tricky. Weather changes can stimulate flare-ups etc, and bowel problems are common with RA also. The disease sucks- do what you can, stick with what works and believe in it- attitude is a lot of it. I rely on things like Cannabis that my family is completely behind- stick to your guns it's your life, they will come around when they see what works if they love you.
