First I want to say "Thank you" for letting me vent. You all are so wonderful on this website.

But....I can't take this pain anymore and I am so exhausted. I see LLMD begining of Aug.(Don't know if I will be able to keep appt. Financially will be straped) On Mino for right now.

I am just so tired and I don't know. Didn't take my abx tonight because part of me wants to just say forget it.

Sorry if I am depressing anyone!! It just feels good to get it off my chest. My family is probably tired of me whining.

I have tried taking epsom salt baths but they are not helping. I actually feel worse(muscle) when I am done.

Hi Nuttbott
sorry to hear you are feeling so down and achey!

I know the feeling all too well! Are you new to treatment?

For the first 4 months I felt like that then started to get better.

I went off antibiotics for lyme and did only treatment for babesia and I went downhill again!

Don't stop taking the meds unless your doc says its ok to take a break due to a herx or whatever.

Keep going! We are all cheering for you!
This is rough, and long and feels like forever!
You can vent all you want here! We all know what this is like.
Hope you feel better soon!

Sooooooooooo...

American, Swiss, Cheddar, or Blue?

What kind of cheese did you want to go with your whine?

Sounds like you feel like a billy goat with a hole in their new pants.

NOT fun!

Well, cheer up nasty nut.. things will be better soon.

A person who knows what to do is coming to your aid soon... at least by the middle of August.

Yes.. I am pschyic. I know everything.

WHAT? You doubt THAT?

Well... Well... Well....

Ok then.

You can hang in there, I know the part about the family also. It really helped me when my wife actually took an interest in learning about the disease.

Not sure if your family is willing but it's worth a try. If not keep posting here and we'll listen.

I'll keep you in my prayers and it will get better!

Best Of Luck,
Scott

Don't look now, but Tincup called you "nasty butt!" That brightened your day, huh!!??

Hang in there kiddo...and whine anytime you want to. We'll listen....and try to offer support.

Here's your hug, fuzzy butt!!

Hey you have to vent - it's perfectly normal and understandable. It can be a long process to getting well again and it does involve pain, exhaustion and wanting to give up on the whole enchilada. But know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. People do get well....

Gentle hugs!!!

Tincup - I'll take the cheddar since it is lactose free.

Nutbobutt - hang in there it will get better.

Thanks You All,

I'm feeling better today! At least mentally.

It's just that you start to be afraid of any MD. Begining of Aug. can't come too soon!

Tutu, coming to see you! BTW hope your surgery goes well.

Tincup, as always you crack me up. And... I prefer swiss.

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

hey nut....one nut to anohter here...

do you think you could be feeling so lousy because you are just taking one abx and the keets are breaking through? just a thought....sometimes they get used to just one abx and thats why llmds put their patients on two abx at a time to avoid that ...will your doc to that until you see your llmd in 3 weeks or so? maybe it willl make you feel somewhat better...

just a thought..hope you feel better soon.

In my worst times sweet cannabis is the only thing to keep me from putting a gun to my head. It relieved my suffering more than anything else out there.
Hopefully you live in an enlightened state.

keep on hanging on!

as far as the whinning there's a website out there for people with hidden infections such as us. Where the family goes "you look fine just get up and get going." Been thru it myself.
It's tough but ya got to forgive them if you can for they know not what they do.

Hey that sounded familiar, who said that
