Had been feeling good for a couple months and then it started all over again. The past two weeks have had all the symptoms I first had three years ago!! Fatigue, pain,confusion, anxiety, stomach pains ect....Suffering for almost six years and I have nothing left!! Luckily we have managed to afford treatment, however we have no money!! Went for a walk today just to see how I would do and the whole time I kept thinking life would be so much easier if I was not here!!!!

I am sorry you are feeling so bad, but please don't think that way. I know it's hard being so sick, having no money and feeling like it would be better to not be here. Would it be better for the people in your life that love you though?
Have yourself a pity party, cry, take a bath, write in a journal, whatever it takes and then think about all the good things in your life. I don't know you and it's nice to meet you, even if it is for a crappy reason that we are meeting, but we all have these days, sick or not.
Find something you enjoy doing or something that makes you happy and focus on that. This too shall pass and my thoughts are with you.
P.S. I'm not really bossy, I'm just hurt when I see people in such pain and I am just trying to help.

Thanks, I only have one support person in my life because the rest of my family believes I AM CRAZY even though my little brother had and still has LYME!!!
Thanks so much!! Had my Primary Care Dr tell me this week there is no such thing as CHRONIC LYME!! I wanted to scream!!!

Well now you have all of us!
Have you or your family seen "Under Our Skin"? It's on Netflix and I think Amazon too. It is very informative and if you can get the family to watch it, it may help them understand more about Chronic Lyme.

Welcome to the world of medical denial.' I've had that from so many doctors I've lost count. And many of us have no support either. It's tough ain't it?

Yes my family has all seen that movie but for some reason they do not believe me! I sent them all a copy of my Lyme test! I just do not believe they think it is a serious illness, although it has taken everything from me!!! My husband supports me and has been by my side for the past nine years and we actually got married when I was really sick!! He is a great man without him I would be dead!!! Thanks for responding:)
