to suffer lifelong neurodegeneration due to

similarity between OSP A and our neuronal proteins

even if we do successfully treat our TBI's (assuming

this is possible)?

Not according to the folks who have posted on the "Success Stories".

Besides-we should all live as if we're dying. Carpe Diem. [Smile]

Adamm, my treatment is in success stories. I continue to do generally well and ahve stayed on antibiotics for nearly five years. PM if you want more details.

Posted by AZURE WISH (Member # 804) on :

Things (including neuro things) can improve and dissappear with treatment.

Just so you know lyme can make things seem doomy all on its own (like a symptom).

Hope you start feeling better soon. Hang in There [group hug]

There is definitely light at the end of the tunnel.....mine is a success story also...

Hi adamm,

That is the disease, or the treatment, speaking...

I am a success-story-in-progress. Just a bit further along than you, and wishing you the same good results. Just keep treating and hang on!

Me, too ... a success story in progress. I'm feeling better every day!

There was the day that if I did ONE thing I was productive, and sometimes that one thing was showering.

Today I got cleaned up, then went on FOUR errands!!! I was busy all day.

Before I couldn't even go to the grocery alone because I would get too disoriented ... so, yeah, you can get better, even in your head. [Smile]

This has been the best day so far after two plus years of continual treatment. No pain, only needed a short nap mid day, optimistic good day, and

if the Ravens win it will be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.....!!! [Big Grin]

I like that... A success story in progress. [Smile]

I'm tremendously better than I was 2 years ago when I started treatment. I can work full time again! I'm still somewhat symptomatic, and I still have my bad days, but some days (like today, whoohoo!) I am actually pain free... and I've been infected since at least 1988, probably longer....babs, lyme, mycoplasma fermentans, and very probably bart, too.

Great thread!!

Me too, I got into remission for about 3.5 months, but got a relapse now. But I don't FEEL sick at all. My lyme doctor 'discovered' that after testing me energetically.

I have a very 'normal' life, I somehow know I'm fighting the last of it. It was foolish of me to have dropped immuno- modulators/-stimulants after being totally symptom free and feeling soo great.

If no permanent damage happened, you can (and will) get back to 100%!!! I'm totally multi- tasking things for a very long, I'm more energetic than most healthy people around me. No way I feel I got permanent damage, even though I had some doubts when my brain started to function again.

Rust yes, for lack of use of my brain, but no damage! I don't feel, in my case, any permanent damage at all.
