I may not show up here very much any more...busy and much better...still struggling tho.
Earlier today...I found a series of e-mails from May of 2003....my familyof four was suffering and had no where to turn...my wif's family had rejected Lyme and said I was only wanting attention.
My family was cautious but not condemning and knew that I was on to something.
We were totally dead broke....and when friends from this web site found out about it...they responded in a wonderful fashion...actually sending 'emergency' cash for our family...if I remember right...almost $1000.
My wife and I cried daily in gratitude each day a check or cash showed up in the mail.
Little did we know that in September of that year we would find out that she had 3rd stage breast cancer and then that December we found out that our two girls had Lyme also.
What a blessing Lymenet was to our family throughout those times of crisis.
I am so thankful for this website and the wonderful people that post here daily if not weekly.
God Bless You ALL!!!!

Kids are seeing Dr C in Springfield next week....we are all coping.
At least I can now live a life in public...The MCS I had was horrible....life changing to say the LEAST. BAD, BAD, BAD.

Hey Folks,
Mold...never buy a house with a finished basement...ask all of the neighbors about water in the house you are looking at. Buy books on mold remediation....study them and then apply that knowledge to your house shopping.
Kilz.....does NOT stop the mold...it only kills that which it stops.
If the home owner feels they MUST perfume up the house for open house days....they are hiding something...always wait for a rain storm...then go house hunting.
Its late.....
Love Ya'll
Trout

I've been missing you and I'm so happy to hear that things are better for you now.
I know you're busy with other stuff (good stuff, I hope) and that's great ... enjoy my friend! I'm glad your family is also doing well.
Over the years that I've come to know you here on LymeNet one fact always prevailed ... that, when things fell apart here on LymeNet, I could always depend on you for unbiased input and advice on how I should deal with it and you were always up front, honest, straight forward and on point. Thank you, buddy ... that will never be forgotten. You helped me when I needed it most.
You said "I am so thankful for this website and the wonderful people that post here daily if not weekly." This website is nothing without the people, all of us and I mean ALL of us ... that includes all of YOU so take it personally ... each of you DO make a difference in someones life! There's the 7 of us who are crazy enough to keep this thing going; Billy & I who simply "give back", Carol & Angela who are the voices of reason and compassion and Tom, Marc and Jen who are the technical "dream team" keeping this thing going 24/7. Then there's all of YOU who really, REALLY make LymeNet be the absolute best place on the Internet for Lyme victims to get and give support and help to other Lyme (and TBD) victims.
Trout, thank you. Again you're on point... it's all about "the wonderful people that post here"!
