Everybody on here is very kind, helpful, understanding, and you can feel free to ask anything and most of us have been there and understand what you're going thru......
I'm sorry you've been sick for so long.....I was sick for about 6-7 years too before I finally was tested and with a positive result knew I had Lyme......
I have a great LLMD and he guides me thru the process to try and get this disease under control....
Welcome aboard and keep us posted on how you're doing and lots of people can give great advice about the Lyme process....sometimes just knowing others are going thru and understanding what you're going thru makes all the difference in the world.........God bless you

Hi and WELCOME! Get a LLMD or at least Dr that is willing to learn about lyme. Borrelia Burgdorferi is a clinical diagnosis, based on symptoms and on your response to treatment. Good Luck, bumpy road ahead.
Post for a LLMD in Seeking a Doctor. Ps remember I am not a Dr, just a fellow sufferer.

Good morning LadyRaven... and abitconcerned ... and vandeb ... and... good morning to our good friend Robi.
I was wondering..
Is LadyRaven referring to the bird... or the football team in Baltimore?
There are many many angels here at Lyme Net. Each time someone responds to a post.. they give someone else some hope.
I LOVE to see so much sharing and caring.
LadyRaven..
You said..
"I thought i was loseing my mind but now i think maybe not."
Gues I better explain some stuff...
One of our unwritten rules around here is to not mention any reference to the fact that you MAY be:
1. Crazy
2. Nuts
3. Losing your mind
4. Stupid
5. One sandwich short of a picnic
6. One brick short of a load
7. One apple short of a bushel
8. Riding the horse down the trail while the tail flaps in your face
9. Thought they said trains... when they really said brains.. and you missed yours
10. And.... any other reference to "nobody being home upstairs"
If you break those rules..
Heaven help you!
YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH ME!
IF... I catch you!
hehehe
Now.. since you are new here.. I am gonna give you a "free" pass and let you off easy THIS time.
But the next time you try that....
I MIGHT be forced to say..
"HA! You THOUGHT you were losing your mind.. and you ARE!"
WELCOME TO LYME NET!
HO HO HO!
Happy Holidays!
OOOPS!
Somehow this lame brain of mine missed YOUR name when saying good morning to everyone!
Soooooooooooo sorry!
I reckon my scroller is in high speed this morning..
Or...
I am still one flake short of being a cereal!
Hmmmmmm...
Maybe I will go have some breakfast?
That MIGHT help?
Good morning Paisley.
I hope you have a super-dupper day!
All of you...
Visit this site and help us help YOU!
Thanks!

ITSA BOY! 8 lbs. 3 oz. and 21 inches long!!!
Just wanting it to end and thinking anyone who know what youve been dealing with is dead?
Because they killed themselves from the mental and physical pain.
I know,, Ive cried myself all dry one year.
Literally every single day I would cry and wished to die.
unbeknownst to me my depression was fueling the bacteria to grow and party. All the while I just suffered and couldnt think well.
I just had looped thoughts of despair, anger, and intense sadness.
Think yourself better!
