Hi all
Tonite I went ot the annual Austin Film Society party
It was jamed packed with about 5000 cool people--
The new Dv cameras and computer editing have really opened up making movies to the masses--
I go every year but this is the First time I felt Good--
Last year at the party I was super sick and had to keep from barfing ect. Was not a pretty picture--
After one year of Good treatment I am starting to feel perty good--
Looking back I am amazied how much better I feel now --
I had a good time at the party tonight --there was lots of good food -beer and stuff --
One funny thing --with all the film makers there the only video cameras there was the TV crews-- Im glad too--
Now that I am feeling better I can start working on films again-- I live close to a airport that closed a few years ago -- The movie industry moved into a big chunk of it--
I live so close to the studios if the trees were not in the way I think I could see them --
I sure am lucky to be so close--
I have been very sick with lyme and babs for 20 years almost died once--
The hole time I was almost bed ridden--
I thought about doing myself in many times--
The main thing I learned is you have to take control of the situation-- Do what you have to- to get better--
Edgecate your self- Read a bunch-
Dont be scaired of ABX-- no reason-
Im feeling Perty Good You will too--Jay--

Good for you!!!
Sometimes it pays to take a step back and compare where you are now to some distant point in the past - makes you realize that while today may not be perfect, it sure beats where you were.
Maybe next year you'll be a member of the abx-free club.
Keep on keepin' on!!

Just the other day when I was walking to the entrance of the libary I realized just how far I've come from just a year ago.
I used to struggle to put one foot in front of the other. I made myself do things like this just to get out of my home. I would have such brain fog, finding some books of interest would wipe me out. I would hope that I would be able to follow along because reading is one of my favorite pastimes.
I think it's important to remember where we've been and take the time to appreciate how far we've come.
Take care, Pam

Jay, great news!
This is a LONNNGGG process. The other night, I had decided that, at 7 months into treatment, things had mostly hit a plateau.
Then I got out the detailed symptom charts I've been keeping each month since May. I stretched them out, and it was very clear from the graphics that I have actually gotten much better.
I have read a lot of people's success stories here, and it seems as if many chronic Lyme patients (I'm in that category) begin to feel better at about the one-year mark. I know there are variables, but that makes me hopeful.
I'm always glad to read stories like yours, Jay! Great news!

Sounds fabulous! Get out there and get into some trouble--and there's no need to wait until next year.
Also, aren't there some terrific blues clubs down there? No need to feel well for that, you can just hide in the back, and if you look hangdog, you'll fit right in.
