I have been prescribed prometrium by my Lyme Dr. as I have chronic Lyme disease. While I was pregnant I did not have any of my usual joint pain. My question is should I begin to take this at the beginning or end of my menstrual cycle? I have a very regular cycle and want to continue that way. Do I have to be concerned about weight gain as a side effect?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you were diagnosed to have Lyme disease which is an infectious disease caused by Cordelia bacteria, and it is a tick borne disease transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks. The symptoms are suggestive of the Lyme disease for which you have taken different antibiotics. I would suggest oral doxycycline, if you have taken this and if there is resistant to this you can take either cefuroxime or azithromycin. These medications should be taken for at least one to four weeks. Thank you.
