Happy Columbus Day!! Well, at least it's the official, non-official day!! Confused now??
Had a great day so far. Two baptisms at church, and we made bracelets for Operation Christmas Child. The kids really enjoyed that.
Then I came home and cooked lunch, then made a quick trip to Target for necessary items. Found my favorite Dawn foaming dish soap on sale. Yippeee!
Kayak is having a rough day ... Sure hope that improves SOON!
Kayak.. can you call your neighbor for some help? I think your knee (and body) is telling you to stop!

Went to the exercise room with my dad at the retirement center. I was amazed, at age 91, how much he could do.
I rode the exercise bike, did some balance exercises and did a short walk through the hallways here.
Rather chilly and damp out with wind.
Have a good week.

Well... today I didn't do much, but on Thursday I was able to vacuum my Grandma's house! I haven't been able to do that since March of this year! It took me two hours, but I wasn't ready to collapse from knee/ankle pain by the time I was done!
Posted by Star Wars Fan (Member # 44326) on :
Er-- clarification on that last post. I first started noticing something was wrong in July of 2010. It started with pain in one ankle... spread to both... then both knees. Nothing we tried helped, and nobody could tell us what was wrong. Finally found out I have Lyme around a year ago (?), but the various treatments we tried weren't working. I ended up pretty much confined to my room/ not walking/crutches. Now we're trying Rife machines, have been doing that for a couple months now, and in the last week alone we've been seeing improvement. Very exciting!

Welcome SWF!! Glad the rife is helping! Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
Well tutu i know im doing too much and i am so ready to stop
After i took ibu i had two hours of being able to walk. I remember i didnt take any cuz gi was so bad yesterday
I got the offuce closet ready and bath has to be finished before bed cuz i have it all on my bed to sort...just threw away saline for cleanung after surg a year ago
I knew when i started ibu 30 yrs ago this day would come. My choice is walk or die from bleeding ulcers
Im so tired. I guess i can try more fish oil and maybe more curcumin.but i think the curcumin messes up my gi too
I hope most of construction is done next week and i can just settle down for winter
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
How much curcumin are you taking? It bothers my stomach, but it is all I take. I can't take ibuprofen or even tylenol.
So maybe if that is all you take, your stomach can handle it. I take it every 6 hours.
Praying for ya, gal!
Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
Im ok ... or i was before this last gi thing got so bad...ok with one morning and one night
But it seems you have to take more for pain...i was going to try totake more but not sure if i c as n yet

phase 1
When health allows:
Check weather
In my mind I thought I was going to be gone a weeek or two...then realized we are leaving Thursday am and hoping to be back friday night as far as my part of the trip.
Pack including Rosie's food, charger for power chair, portable DVD player, Rosie's working vest, intense muscle spray, ice packs, meds, poop bags, food...
I will report in when able to what i hav egotten down It helps me stay focused kind of.
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
This morning my mind told me to start packing with what health i had to workw tih.
But, then my mind kept changing channels. I scooped today's cat poop out of her box and started to drive it to the VEt.
then, decided maybe I should just find another home for the cat and wrote up a sign and put it on the community bulletin board.
Then, decided I really should have her poop tested to see if she has anything. And bring the results to the LLMD.
I have been seeing posts on FB about how your cat could be causing you illnesses. But, not able to read them.
I was dx with toxoplasma in 1984 while pregnant with my younger daughter. She also was tested and it came back positive.
But, the doc did not know what to do about it. I did not even have a cat.
I know I have bartonells. I did not have a cat then either.
OK getting off topic I think.
What I did this am wore me out. Resting now and then I will get up and see if I cna do some more. But, most likely will not be able to do anything until this evening.
Also able to wash a few dishes but still have more to do.
Looked for Rosie's working vest this am but couldn't find it. It has my debit card in it also.
The dirty carpets are really bothering me thsi am adn the couch and car seats....they have been bothering me for years but no funds to get them cleaned. It is on the list.
Somedays they bother me more than other days. Today is one of those days.
Typing this with eyes closed so hope it makes sense.
The next get up besides getting something to eat is going to be to plug in the small power chai rand charge it.
I also am going to have the caregiver get the heavey raMP OUT FROM THE STORAGE WHEN SHE COMES TOMORROW. sHE WILL NEED TO MOVE SOME BOXES IN ORDER TO DO SOL.
pLANNING ON USING IT TO LOAD MY POWER CHAIR INTO THE VAN.
iT IS NOT A RAMP TO LOAD POWER CHAIRS INTO V VANS BUT A RAMP FOR DOORWAYS INTO A HOUSE....BUT MAKING DUE.
hOPE MY FRIEND CAN HANDLE IT.
hOPE WE CAN FIND A WAY TO TIE DOWN THE POWER CHAIR.
nOT SO SURE ABOUT TAKING IT IF WE CAN'T TIE IT DOWN.
iT WAS FINE WHIEL i WAS IGNORANT. bUT, NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT DAMAGE A POWER CHAIR CAN DO IF IT IS NOT TIED DOWN AND WE HAVE TO STOP SSUDENLY..I THINK WOULD RATHER NOT TAKE IT.
at ONLY 20 MPH IT CAN DO SOME BRAK THE SPINE INJURY'S IF YOU GET HIT BY IT IN THE CAR.

hi everyone.
welcome SWF
I started my new job today.
4 hours and it was so exauhsting. I wanted to cry when I got in the car after my shift. my eyes wer buggy, my hands hurting, back aching, . so it felt like a total relapse.
I had no idea I would feel this way . I thought I was ready to do this, now I am not too sure. how can I do it? standing the whole time at the cash register. they put me right there. it ws so hard to remember what to do an d to deal with all the stuff.....
coupons, disctounts, rewards cards, .....how can I remember it all? I kept messing up my employee password. then I realized I mispwlled it when I first typed it in and so I had no idea what I actually typed! How embarrassing.
should I quit? I don't wanna waste their time or mine. all for $7.60 an hour! not sure it's worth it. that was 4 hours, wed it will be 5 hours. just the thought of that makes me want to cry.
mu husband says I need to get used to it. it took me 2 hours after just to start to feel ok again. and there went the whole rest of my day.
I can't find any positives in this. what was I thinking.
they told me I did really well for my first day though. haha
not by my standards, but I think I have become an dexpert by now on how to pretend I have no symptoms until I hold them in so long I wanna burst!.
I hope everyone's ok.. I read to catch up but I am too confused to remember who did what right now, sorry.
taking a nap now before it's time to take my next dose of meds.
goodnight y'all

Lisa .. Give it a week! Cut yourself some slack and see how it goes.
Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
Wow kam...good luck. Its good to know you have someone helping you. I think it would be good if you could find cat a home. My fruend loves her ct so much but i read alot it can be harder to get well with cats. Dogs too but not so much. Im afraid to say anything to my friend cuz she really loves that cat
I was able to take two curcumins this morning and didnt get gi sx so im feeling good about that
I was supposed to do kitchen today but weather was good to work outside. So i did. Im.all ready for workers
Still need to finush kitchen for pest guys on thursday
Im thinking about buying a rife machine. I had a long talk with someone who has one and was able
Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
To get a bunch of questions ansered. It can help me with the cancer things and othrr problems different than lyme. Also can do dog. And parasites...the person i talked to has me almost ready to starting the DE that has been in my cupboard for a year
So...im kinda in a better mood. Still smell cat urine. Still whreze after being in carpet room. Still out of breath from standing.
But looking forward to nov 1st...no more construction
Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
Lisa...do they know you have chronic illness? Im wondering if there is a way to get a stool to sit on...i know when i ran a register...one of last jobs before i went out on disability...if i was sitting i was able to think better
My hands hurt from making change but other things were easier
The friend i visited last weekend at the lake is starting a register job 8.00 an hour. She has to drive 20 miles each way...i dont think she'll evenmake gas money
Hope every one is ok
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Kayak... How many mg on the curcumin? Space them out if you can.
If you decide to get a rife machine, I know where you can get one for $500 and it's worth at least $1000.
I'll be out most of tomorrow.
Posted by LisaK (Member # 41384) on :
kayak, yes a stool would be nice. I may ask.. I am shy that way. I don't know why. and they do know I have lyme. I'm sure they know nothing about it though.
I drive 10 miles each way. my friend says it's not worth it. I am really getting anxious about going back tomorrow. probably psyching myself out. the other workers were not friednly at all and this makes it all worse.
not one- not one- introduced themselves or said hello or even carried a conversation when I spoke to them.
is this how people are now? I had a temp job a couple years ago (making candy! yum) and the people there were super nice and professional.
the person that hired me for this new job was super nice during interview and paper signing on Sunday (2 hours of signing papers for a $7.60/hr job!!) but yest when I started she was not nice and was kind of mean. maybe she just having a bad day?
I am just used to much more from past jobs as far as co-workers go.
just thinking about this is giving me a stomach ache and makes me feel like crying!
lymetoo, you may be right. I am just so sensative.
well, today I drive for the last day to my face cream job. it is a nice quiet drive and I get $93 for ten minutes! so THAT is worth it!!!!
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
Came here to re read what i had posted and most likely delete it but vision is not doing well enough to do that righ tnow.
Typing with yes closed.
Mia, the cat, got a clean bill of health on the poop sample. Whewph.
Hoping to be able to pack my overnight bag and food and rosie's food, find her vest, make sure i pack my depends, meds, intense muscle spray, ice packs, face maks, peltor ear protection mufffs and ear plugs, cot, and hamock..guess that is about it.
just tyhping it out is too much right now.
Ah yes. need to find list of things i wanted to discuss with llmd's assistnat.
don't know if i mentioned it but with this llmd you don't see the llmd until the 3rd visit...first two are with assistants
hoping to do further appts via skype or face time or taht thing the doctors' do here which i can't recall right now..telemedicine i think it is called.
i need to find a local doc who does that.
i was able to get the power chair charged yesterday. need to double check this am to make sure it worked. sometimes the switch is off.
i didn not think of htat until righ tnow..i usually try and check it
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
The person from the FB state support group who had a drawing and drew my name to help out someone to get treatment....did not follow thru on it.
So hoping the doc will allow me to make payments on my part of the medicare bill.
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
got up and got the overnight bag out and started to put the shampoo and other bottles i use when camping in it then realized i didn't need to have dish soap and whatever those other bottles were. i most likely will not be using them.
rosie gave me the look so took her out to toilet in the dark this am
got back and too weak to continue trying to put things in the overnight bag.
sure hope the doc is able to get me more caregiver hours so i can start doing a better job of eating each day....although not so sure that is the issue
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
OK. able to get nightgown in overnight bag, toothbrush and toothpaste...and 3 days of dog food for rosie...
resting now..brain and body are really struggling...took 2 excedrin to see if that will help
next get u pwill be to have some food
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
When are you leaving, kam? When will you be back? You're taking a cot and a hammock?? Will you camp on the way?
VERY sorry that person did not come through for you on the money. DANG!
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
We are leaving at dawn on Thursday if health allows.
I am taking the cot and hammock in case I need to stop along the way and just lay still and quiet some place as health usually can't handle being in the car very long.
I also can't handle being on the cot either very long for some reason. I seem to be OK if I am camping and in the tent.
But, for some reason, I don't do OK if I am laying out in the open on the cot in the forest as I try at times...20 min is the most I usually last.
Havne't figured out why yet. Maybe because I was trying to lay on my side instead of on my back as I do in the tent.
That reminds me...bring pillows and cover.
It looks like the person is going to come thru afterall. She said she got it off late so even if I don't get it in time, it will work out.
Not sure why but I feel like having a good cry. When I saw the email my friend sent me from the company she is renting the van from it brought tears to my eyes and I am not even sure why.
Fear is also a factor..but I think that is because I am so low functioning ...I am OK with that.
I also am having to face how much lower functioning I am than when made my last trip to CA to see a LLMD years ago. ..maybe 8 yrs ago..
DRove Rosie out to the forest area...I wasn't planning on it this am but she kept giving me the look..and it is something i can do..as the car moves my body
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
Ok able to get some camping pants and top and shorts and top in clothing bag .....camping pants are stained but at least i know they fit kind of...might change them later whne I have what it takes to try on some other pants.
I put some pants on today that are nice but too long..i tried to cuff the bottoms but they just came off..they most likely will work as I dont need to be walking with them while riding in the car or power chair.
able to put a can of soup and a can of veggie chili in the ice chest and some nuts in a baggie
can't do restaurants or drive thru's so bringging my food....i figure we can stop along the way in a quiet place and eat
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
Just noticed the happy columbus day at the start of the thread..
i saw a sign on FB that said...happy columbus day..does this mean we can take whatever we want??
Back down resting now...
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
able to put out some baking soda on the carpets ....for the caregiver when she vacuums them.
hoping it will help the house from not smelling when i come back home or when my neighbor comes in to check on the cat
i am not sure it was worht whhat it took out of me health wise to do that
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
Ah..next get up I need to add my bib
I also put some treats in a bag for Rosie...i need to get some of the soft treats from the car and put them in a bag too...
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
I found Rosie's working vest. It was right were i looked before but brain never saw it.
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
OK Got the ramp out of the storage unit on the patio.
Caregiver did it. I just showed her where it was.
It is heavy duty. It is not for loading a power chair in to a van but that is what we are going to use it for.
It is for being able to go over a door into a house and to stay permanent...
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
ok got the intense muscle spray packed

I think it is good you relise this.
Today I woke up feeling pretty ill. giant headache, nausea, aches. it's prbably my treatment.
I am ironing . that I can do sitting here. ironing folds to sew . making dog bandanas to sell. that's pretty much all I plan to do today.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Lisa, maybe you can come up with new ideas for the bandanas to sell even more quickly. Can you personalize them with names?
Kayak.. sorry you are having to move your plants. I nope those guys aren't just making you spin your wheels for nothing.
Take care.. I will be out most of the day again.
Bon Voyage, kam!!
Posted by LisaK (Member # 41384) on :
personalize. I like that. I have an old machine so I can't really make names with stitches. but maybe something else?

I got to see my husband play in the jazz band last night. It was gratifying for me to do so. Because of my horrible foot pain for the past 2 1/2 yrs, I've been unable to attend his concerts.
So .. I was also able to video his solos. He did well. It may take him a day or two to get them uploaded to You Tube, but I'll let you guys know when they go up.
I won't post them here for privacy reasons. Or I could post them and then remove them after 24 hours.
Today I went to a Christian women's luncheon. We also had a silent auction. I bought some sweets for my hubby. The speaker was really really good. I bought her book, titled "I Saw Heaven." The author's name is Patti Miller Dunham. I can't wait to read it!
She's originally from MO and lives in TX .. the opposite of me!
Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
Its late morning and i am slow. I am finally dressed and ready for handyman. He didnt call but ut is only raining lightly now. Later itwill storm and my job is inside so i hope he will come. Im pretty sure hes working outside now
I have about three hrs before pest guy comes. I know they think i am crazy. Part is memory. Part they keep switching the guy who comes. I smell dead mice where no one else does...but i know they are there. Under the kitchen cabinets. So gross.
Etta bit me this morning. Puncture. I got my rife machine and she got one of the packing peanuts. At first i thought it was funny-she was throwing it in the air. Then when it got wet it stuck to the side of her face. When i went to get it she bit me. It must have tasted good. I never saw a peanut get all stucky like that.
I put her in office for time out when i took a shower. Shes back on my lap now
Hope kam does well. Sorry to hear about lisas niece.
Guess i better get ready for the pest guy

I went to hospital last night to see my niece and sister that is sleeping there with her.
I walked from the parking lot so that was a tiny bit of exercise. My husband and I took the dog on a medium walk last night also.
today I hope to clean a little. be there is my sister needs me. and sew and get ready for a flea market tomorrow that I am going to try and sell things. For that I will need to wake by 4:00am. that I can do, but staying awake and not napping then driving home is what worries me. Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
Good for you lisa to do what you can to make money
How ws niece?
I had triuble getting to sleep cuz of pain. I did a lot prepping for worker and pest guy
Worker didnt come or call. He hasnt answered about five calls/messages
I sent him.big check in mail with note to please fit in my small job...probably half a day for him and i can get back in my bed. Uts si hrd sleeping on daybed now with knee and shoulder pain...i have to prop mysekf up with pillos in bed or sleep in recliner and that makes other problems
Anyesy it was pouring when pest people came so we couldnt deal with nesting bees but good report about mice. Very small hints they have been here and it could have been 3 months ago. Looks like chipmunks have mived in. They are eating all mouse bait. It doesnt kill them but it kills their babies and they have 5 or6 twice a year so i guess i amslowly getting rid of them. They dont seem to get in house but live under slab and i am afraid ticks and fleas will come up thru tiny cracks like ants do
I guess i will spray the orange guard once a month or so even if i dont see any. I usuallt only spray when i see them
Oh! I posted tht the orange guard killed the tick in two minutes but i guess it didnt when i showed it to pest people four days after i thought it was dead it had crawled about six inches up. Im pretty sure it did die...but nevet say never with a tick. They survuve a lot
So it seems orange guard is more like deet...slows them down but takes a long time to kill them...maybe when they are sick they cant attach
Gees...what do normal ppl talk about.
Also pest guys put bait in camper...they eat it-prefer it to wires andd then they go outside to tunnels to die
Smell of dead ones under cbinets made me sick yesterdy...we had a lot of rain. I have to buy. Jigsaw orhire someone else to explore under cabinets...so close to being done
Tody im trying to sort, sell, store all the clothes and linens i had stashed in camper in may when all thus started
For fun i will open my new rife machine and try to read about it
Last night i found over 100 conditions it treats that i have so i have to learn more. Im on the rife thread now
Also doing laundry and putting kitchen back together when i can breathe in there

hahahahaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
my niece.... oh kayak, I wish people would listen to those that have experience over dumb drs. just 'cause they have a degree in a frame on the wall!!!!!
I am going to try and post a new topic about her shortly. in general help. I am so so upset
today I did a lot of errands and sewed some more. gonna pack car soon for early departure in AM

Glad I have this thread to come to. REally need to keep it together by thinking via the keyboard.
Able to make a pitcher of the lemond cucumber drink..as I am typing this, I realized I forgot to put honey in it. Resting now, then hoping to get up and eat and take meds ..I eat in bed laying down...but I do need to be doing well enough to get up and get something to eat.
I think I need to take some excedin this am too to ehlp.
Day one of trying to recover form teh trip.
Able to get Rosie ut to pee this am via the power chair..the comfy one...did not leave parking lto of apartment complex.
She will let me know it is time to go again in a little bit as we usually get in the car and rive out to the foest after she eats.
Can't do that this am but I can get in the power chair and take her out..hopefully I can find a place she can do her business where i can come back alter and pick it up...picking it up this am is out.

i amd also reading about rife machine
and trying to whittle down my sx list so i know where to start im thinking of starting with obesity and syndrome x cuz maybe that will make me helathier overall...i really dont think i have full blown lyme infection... or maybe i will experiment for a few weeks to see individual infections...if any make me herx...then zoom in on them
not sure
have to go easy cuz cant do anything with tri gem
good news! i called the irish handyman...got his name off a truck...he says not to woryy about the smell under cabinet...he knows how to cut bottoms out - its easy -and they go back in...
kinda neat guy...he doesnt want to deal with dead things cuz he has mcs from 9/11 so i am buying small shop vac...he will remove wood friend and i will vac and clean he will put back wood next day...hes afraid were gonna find a possum or something and doesnt want rabies!
it smelss exactly like the mouse that was behind fridge and in stove so i think ist a mouse or many mice...i think there was a nest there cuz i used to hear squeaking
so that will be wonderful cuz on these reainy days i cannot be in kitchen with out door and window open and big fan the smell makes me so nautious
gotta get meds in ...running late take care
SLEEP WELL KAM...SO SORRY

10:18 am got up and added the honey to the lemon cuke drink. Noticed the cucumbers I cu tup are spoiled so took them out of th epitcher.
Can't recall if I drank the other glass of the lemond cucumber drink..misplaced it.
I know where the new glass is..next to my bed.
Finsihed the rest of the small yogurt cup. Body is shaking from just trying to do what I just did.
Back in bed.

Hang in there, kam!!

Hey gang--just had time to catch up on your posts.
Kam--sorry the MD trip did not work out. Will be praying for you.
LP--You sure have worked hard on your house. Give yourself a break for your health, too.
Lisa--wish I could sew. I am all thumbs with that sort of thing. Hope your sale at the flea market is successful.
Lymetoo--any more gigs this weekend for your hubby?
I the first quarter of the school year is over, so this weekend was a bit crazy grading projects etc.
Saw the energy healer yesterday and she still feels (and I agree) like my immune system cannot calm down. It is constantly finding something to attack and then I have to get rid of the toxins. Very tiring.
I never thought I would long for a normal ailment like the common cold. I sneeze a few times and it goes straight to nervous system issues.
I think now I am dealing with die off from candida. Not sure if the candida really needed to be killed or if my immune system is in such high gear that it decided to kill some yeast for its own amusement.
Most likely my diet contributed and my body is so sensitive. Metals released from that die off.
Worked outside a bit this afternoon, raking from my teen mowing (he had to mow quickly and go to work) and a bit of weeding. Why the weeds grow when I when I toss down grass seed is just another addition to Murphy's Law, I suppose.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

flea market was good but not great. some sellers told me Tuesdays are better so I am going to try that/
I need to rest now.
so mentally and physically exhausted from niece in hospital craziness
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Good, kam! Glad you were able to get enough rest so you could cook something and then eat!!
hiker.. no, nothing until Thursday. Very few people were there last Thurs. Not his fault but it is worrying.
Lisa... Hope Tues is better for you!

Ablet o make a cup of tea.
Getting light out. Time to put coat over pj's and take Rosie out to pee in the comfy big boy power chair.
Able to see that today is Sunday and I woke around 4 am thanks to the computer.
so slowly coming back from the almost dead land
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
i also sent two people emails asking if they could get me groceries.
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
Tried to drink the tea. Got a couple of swallows and then spilled the rest on my night gown.
Took Rosie out to toilet via the big boy comfy power chair..we left the parking lot of the apartment this am.
Looks like rain to the east. Saw sun coming up behind a cloud to the west..oops..got thsoe directiosn wrong.
went as far as the funeral home and then headed bck. Left another deposit i need to pick up when able.
body started shaking insside...i think it was both the cold and because i am so weak and body stresses easily right now.
pain is still not back to bseline.
wanted to eat but too weak to get something.
i was able to clean out the litter box but did not know cat poop could be so heavy when i carried it in a bag to outside the front door.
need to get those bags to the dumpster when able...
next goal is to eat and take meds....and rest...still need to recover
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
Just got up to get something to eat and drink.
Made anther pitcher of the lemn cuke drink..but in a big fog.
Drank some. Tried to put some things away but in such a fog...I think all I did was to put the reusable grocery bag away.
Poured another glass of drink as I couldn't recall what i did with the one I had...let it in the kitchen.
Laying down now and trying to recover then I will try again to get something to eat and drink and take meds. noonish here now

i woke late cuz had trouble sleeping from knee pain-see my other thread
i was upset from what had happened in the nite so i decided to baby myself and do what i wanted...it was a beautiful fall day i went to get a special coffee and called my friend to hear my sad story...she made me breakfast and listened.. she got it about docs..
then i came home and scrounged around in garage and found two hunks of lumber that were dirty but whne clened up would solve my problem. i live in two recliners cuz of back and reflux i found out last nigt i was ruining my new knee cuz they were not 22 inches tall at the seat
so i dragged then to the patio and washed them with hose...they have been drying. i will paint them tomorrow and bring them in when they dry so i can use my recliners
after that i dead-headed and cut back lots of stuff and transplanted many astors the were by the foundation and needed to be moved for the mouse plan
it was gusty windy and etta was on a long rope chasing leaves...her favorite thing to do after eating cheese.
so i had quite a bit of exercise so far. and tonight i have to finish laundry and a few things in kitchen and living room. i have the guy coming to morrow to cut out bottom of cupboards and look for dead mice...i wish the other guy would call to say he was coming to finish the bedroom but he hasnt called. i sent him a note when i paid him and asked him please...i really need to get back in my bed...but no answer
i have ozoned the exercise room too a few times and i think it might be getting better...i sure hope so
and im reading about my rife. i want to use it on something really easy to tell if it works.. i think i might use it on my arm...i hurt that worse today and it was already so bad its hard to put shirts on over my head.
i also have a skin thing like petiae but different ...but its something i can see...not vague like lyme and yeast sx...so im thinking of doing those first to see how much they hurt and if they get better im also gonna do ovarian cysts cuz they ulra sound them every 6 months and ill know if they got smaller
im waiing to do parasites and virus etc til i dont have to work around these guys cuz i hear you can have some pretty bad herxes
hang in kam. hope others come by. nite.

Able to feed Rosie this am and take her out to toilet.
Goofed up and did not have my peltor ear protection muffs in my saddle bag on power chair.
need to find them and put them back.
went across the street to toilet her and the noises were too much..dog barking that had been left in a truck, traffic noise on main street, even the noise of the fire man raising the flag on teh flag pole was magnified..whou would have thunk it..the chain the sound made against the pole as he raised it was too much.
back down now
i was able to find my debit card..it was in the ash tray of my car...glad tha twas an easy find
neighs getting groceries fo rme this am...
i am out of checks so giving her my debit card
resting....break time...
able to clean litter box but most likely will need to clean it again as the job was only half done ..cat had not used it this morning yet,
Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
I have two FB pages. One for those who are still struggling with lyme disease
and the other for most of the time not lyme related
to day i was able to delete some of the health related groups from my non lyme related fb page
i had tried in the past to unjoin but wasn't able to..glad i was able to today
about 4 sites before my brain fog got to be to great to continue
just trying to stay sane and focus on can do's
neighbors dogs started yapping while i was typing this but able to find my peltor ear muffs right away this time.
Body is really sticky. I would really like to take a bath....maybe this evening I will be doing well enough to do so
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Watch that debit card, kam! YIKES!!
Hope you have a good day and will be able to get a bath. That would be heavenly!
Not sure if I'll get to exercise today. Had a late start due to sitting on hold with a company for 2 hours this morning.
Posted by lpkayak (Member # 5230) on :
My mouse removal guy didnt show. Didnt call. Wont return my call. My lyme rage is about to come out
I got the two platforms for recliners primed once with kilz. Gonna eat and do them again. Guess i should ozone too.
Etta gets haircut tomorrow. At the beach. I think were having a cold rain. Snow up north
I replied to thumbtack.com and another one like it and the phone is ringing off the hook but i am sick of these guys ? Not showing up. Very soon im gonna buy my own jigsaw. I think its harder to hurt yourself with that
