I've had Lyme twice and still have problems with flare ups from the first infection. If I stop taking Vitamin D, my levels plunge, despite the fact that I get plenty of sun. It seems to be a permanent "gift" from the Lyme disease. I did go for several months without any big flare ups, but I just came off of several weeks of a lot of pain and swollen joints. I have a large number of friends who say the same thing - they have flare ups every few months and when it rains, they hurt bad. What makes it hard is that I have an equal number of friends who had Lyme, caught it in the first few weeks and recovered completely. So, no, you aren't crazy. Pamela,

So, no, you aren’t crazy.
