I am sicker than ever but I'm going back to work. Hopefully my wife and I can work things
out but I don't feel optimistic. I'm not sure if I can handle this I feel so lousy and
all my family will be so far away. I'm in so much pain basically all day long. My spine
and upper neck crack all the time and the pain goes into my shoulder blades and I have
sharp headaches all day. I think ive permanently lost my health and family.

Are you working away from your family, if I understood well, Dale?
There may be some advantages, temporarily though. At least, you got less stress from family members who do not support you...
Cracking is sign of arthritis. Pain, so sorry... Are you using things to detox? My life was hell before I learned how to clean my body from die off toxins.
Crossing fingers for you the change will be for good.

Thanks Brussels. Right now I'm in Vermont but I'm moving to belfast maine. I would have no support there.
My parents know I am having syptoms and one of my sisters does as well. Since I've always been a
hypocondraic and said some really dumb things about my health people in Maine think i'm fine. My wife
thinks i went to an llmd to get a fake lyme diagnosis. if she had my body for an hour she would understand
how much this sucks. I am taking milk thistle. Anything else that's besides lemon water I should take.?
I was on gold alkaseltzer before abx. I had pain over a year
ago in my spine before I went to my pcp then it went away. its like lyme went dormant and showed up
later or something.
The other thing is its a little challening staying away from foods I shouldn't eat since I don't cook
at my parents and hard to buy stuff since i was out of work for so long but I basically eat the same
stuff. Plain oatmeal and homeade guacomole and then usually we eat a gluten free dinner, not always
though. I almost cant wait to cook again so I can go on a stricter diet. I got a really cookbook from
my sister for Christmas with superfood recipies so that's what I'll be sticking too. Sorry to ramble on
forever, Im really anxious about this and even with my depression meds.

Dale, my family (brothers and sisters) probably think I am a hypocondriac too. been sick so long and only dx 18 months ago.
everyone is sick of me.
anyway, I think cilantro and chlorella are both good to get rid of toxins.
best of luck working.

I know you said your diet is challenging at parent's house, but going gluten and sugar free will help relieve your arthritis/pain.
Are you on abx right now?

lisa- thanks, I will try those. I just dont understand why people won't believe us. I don't
know how am I am going to be able to handle a bad flareup at work. I love to go fishing,
but i feel almost too sick to do that. A year ago my feet just tingled when I ate
something that I shouldn't have like sugar. Now I feel like death.
Catgirl- yes i started real treatment from llmd on the dec 23th. plaqueniel,
clorithromycin and start taking cefdnir today.

Thanks Lisa. I will be on here more than ever I'm sure. Maybe I should have just transfered
stores and worked my brainless job in vermont instead. It's hard because the other job pays more,
better insurance ( it costs 20 bucks month for abx without insurance it would be 800) and I would
never get back together with my wife.
