PLEASE! If you are a chronic lymer please share your success story-
what you were like when you started and how you are today.
I need the encouragement- i feel as though i'll do this for a year and feel just as exhausted- so exhausted going food shopping makes me want to cry.
Extreme depression with no known reason why 15 antidepressants never worked!
touching my legs or back brings on muscle pain
Please tell me how far you've come..............

- I hope you can find someone else to do your shopping. We should AVOID ALL BIG BOX STORES.
Maybe find your Farmers' Markets, local small shops, delivery, volunteer shopping, paid shopper?
Some area farmers will deliver, or you might be able to go pick up produce from their farms.
I can't tell you how important it is to the success of treatment to stay out of those big box stores. Totally.
Lights; Noise; Motion; CHEMICALS (from store cleaners & those for sale leech out - package dyes, product scents, etc.) & the sheer intensity of all that can set us back, way back for a week or more. Seriously.

Keebler, hubby does the shopping and has for well over a year.
Just going to work is all i can handle and that is even part-time.
thank you for responding.

- Sorry, I though since you said: "so exhausted going food shopping makes me want to cry."
Now, I see that you WISH you could but you can't.
Glad your husband can do this.
At work, if you can, get regular incandescent light bulbs around you and turn off the fluorescent lights. THAT should help a lot.
Be sure to avoid chemical exposure (copy machines, printers, fake smelly air fresheners).
As for a place to rest (off the clock) if you need to take breaks. If you have any dizziness, just tell them that's why. Do not mention lyme to anyone, if you can help it.
Good luck. -
