Just came back from LLMD visit for my 2 yr old son. He's starting lyme treatment. I'm not even well yet.
I've had a really hard life and I don't know how much more I can take. This is so unfair. I don't want him to suffer like I have. I did this to him.
Treating this disease is breaking us financially and me emotionally. I just want this to end already. I want to live a normal life.

I'm sorry. My daughter went through treatment and hers was much, much easier than mine because we caught it before she got as sick as I did. Hopefully that will be the case with your son. Hang in there.

I am so sorry but I truly understand your heartache. Myself and one daughter are ill with lyme and cdiff, my other daughter not ill but + western blot.
I am completley guilt ridden. Actually crying right now. The last thing in the world I would want is my babies to be sick too. That is so much worse.
Please dont blame yourself. You did not do anything to intentionally hurt your child and neither did I. It is painful to watch your little ones be ill, but Dr J says generally kids recover rather well. I trust he is in good hands and know he has a GREAT loving Mom!

I get those guilt feelings too.
The fact is, I thought I was doing the right thing by vaccinating my children, breastfeeding and so many other things that may have harmed my children and set them up for sickness and suffering.
I can't think that way though. What is done is done. I have done everything I can to provide a healthy environment for my children... I still do everything I can for them.
Every mother would do anything to keep her children from harm. They are sick. So we get them well!!!
We put our heads together and find what works for them so they can thrive! And they will.
This is a great resource for getting kids to thrive. http://www.thriiive.com Don't be turned off by the autism connection. Autism is often lyme and so the treatment is much the same.
May our children all learn to thrive!
