just want to thank everyone for your support/help/comfort when I've needed it. It really goes a long way when you live with a family that is tired od hearing about lyme, and believes Im making up some of the symptoms...or that my only problem is depression. Living with a mother in law is very trying. But good news... I know Im only on monotherapy right now with doxy (cant stand ceftin), and only keeping lyme at bay, but I did borrow a bike and took my two girls for a bike ride. Short, but oh so sweet. My five year old said "I LOVE YOU MOM" Im thankful for another day with them....and it is possible cause of all of you!

You made my heart happy tonight!
I am so glad that you are doing better.
To go from being soooo down, to enjoying a beautiful time with your daughters is wonderful!
I am praying that your good times continue and that your health improves.
I am very happy and relieved for you!

You are sooo very welcome! That's what we're here for!
There is no way in hell I could live with my mother -in-law. Ugh! I feel for you!
My kids are what kept me from giving up. I know I wouldn't be here right now if I didn't have them.
I'm so happy to hear you are doing better. Hang in there! Posted by catskillmamala (Member # 12536) on :
Brandi,
This is great news. I am so happy that you were able to have some good time with your children.
By the way a tip on ceftin- it's disgusting. I had to cut it up and put it into gelatin capsules in order to get it down my throat.
I agree lymenet is a lifesaver when people in your physical reality just can't relate and are sick of hearing about it. One day my husband came home from work and asked how my day was and I said something I learned about lyme and he freaked telling me that I was too focussed on lyme and it was all I thought about.
Well he was right and I informed him right then the I considered studying lyme and treatments and protocols to get better to be MY full-time job. I did treat it like a full-time job and I have gone from couch laden, unable to drive, work or parent to fully functional. So stick to your guns about doing what you need to do to get better.
