Guess that is my question in a nut shell. Haven't felt good for 3 yrs, haven't had insurance for 7 years, I move half way across the country for a great job with awesome benefits, to finally be diagnosed with Lyme ...and for what. Can't find a dr or a counselor that will take any insurance, it would be irresponsible to drop it and I really don't have a money tree in the backyard anyways. Haven't even found a kind (nice, friendly) dr for the flu or rash yet, so won't even mention it. There aren't any support groups in my area, and I left all my family and friends back in my home state, plus I Refuse to tell them as they will worry. My spouse is awesome, but clueless and very busy with new career (the one with the great bennies) I had to step down from my job in Jan, due to health and that was so so difficult!...and still is! So, as my subject states...how or why is it irrational to just throw in the towel and call it quits.? If I can't be a productive member of society and/or comfortable in my own skin, than what is the point!?

This is a tough one for sure..
I tried to hide how sick I was from family for 4 years.
.Finally I just crashed and this is so slow and lonely and frustrating and painful and nervious about staying under any bodies BAD list..and hurtful when doctor's treat you like S---

Through my experience with Lyme, I had to learn that I'm not what I do......
