So haven't posted in a while and somehow could not login...hence new name..was Peony Princess prior.
Been doing well off ABX for almost a year. On Ababs, POA Phyton and armour & Cortisol plus multiple vitamins and hormones.

Still working have a great boss who saw me through the worse part of illness-lying on my office floor, migraines, nausea, brain blips, seizure like episodes etc. etc.

Was feeling like things were looking up. Husband business taking a nose dive so he works long hours and I am home alone. Because I still get the migraines I never know how functional I will be so I hesitate to make plans, plus our finances are stressed.

Son engaged and now costs associated with that are adding to the stress. This week have had 3 bad headaches one Migraine. I assume this is from the stress. If I were healthier I would take a part time job on the weekend. But don't think I can do it.

Lucky my kids are grown and healthy, almost lost one a few years back. Just feeling scared and stuck as Lyme and friends are expensive to treat and seems never ending. Wishing I could click my heels and be someone else.

This board is so supportive of its members and I mostly just read and not post, but thank you for helping each other. This illness can be so isolating and the mis-information out there makes it even harder as people don't get why you don't go out etc.

Thanks for letting this lonely gal vent.

Hey Goggie!! I'm totally worn out and headed to bed. I'll be back tomorrow.

I hope you will sleep well tonight, knowing that you have friends here!

Hi goggi pp...he he he!

A few years ago my last two kids got married. ..first two were easy and sensible

These two harder physically and financially

I did my best and was glad i did. Not without glitches...but glad i did the best i could

Now 2-3 yrs later i have an almost 2 yo
Granddaughter and finances are leveling out.

Hang in...do the best you can...try to keep good relationship with kids. Unfortuneatly sometimes its hard to do that

OH.. thanks... What does Goggie mean? Where's Goggie?? [Big Grin]

Posted by Goggie (Member # 46519) on :

Goggie is a made up name...liked Peony Princess better oh well..

Thanks LPKayak yes family relationships can be stressful especially with this child my difficult one. Things will work out I am sure but sometimes it seems all too much. Not that I would, but I understand why sometimes people just walk away.

Anyway the good news is my health is mostly good and it took me several years to get here. This forum is one of the few places where people "get it" they understand the people who don't "believe" in tick disease or the illness. I appreciate your listening.
