So after we get a handle on this disease do we ever get back the energy we had before it hit?
I let one day after another slip by without getting one thing done. This goes on year after year.
I have not interest in doing the things I use to do. Does that ever return? How long into treatment?
Is there any hope??? sick

Hi Sick,
I would say the average time for a person to start seeing improvemnt is about 4 months, but it's different for everyone.
In the very beginning of my treatment, it was bad. I spent two years in bed and I was on this computer (LymeNet )everynight during that time. I didn't have a life, but it got better.
It does get better though, so hang in there. Today I go bowling, go out, go shopping just for fun etc. It deosn't mean I don't have bad days here and there, but it's a huge improvemet on what my life was like before.
Never give up your hope, there is always hope! The one thing I have learned though this journy was... I had to give up what I thought *normal* was going to be for me. I still have a chroinc disease, it's jsut better.

It has been a year of mostly bed for me. But it does get better. The first six months I could not even get out of bed by myself and had to lay down and rest for hours after takeing a shower. I love Beverly's statement of the 'normal' for me....I expect the degree of normal will change for the rest of my life.

Thank you for all the encouraging posts. I need to know someday this will get better. It has been a long hard fight. I found out last Sept. what I really had after 43 years of searching for answers. I have been on meds since then, I guess about five months so maybe that isn't long enough for me to see any improvement yet.I would just like to see something soon. sick

Geting enough sleep is the problem for me. I am had numrous sleep studies and I only get 17 minutes of rem sleep a night. No one can figure out why but I suppose it is becuase of the lyme disease. sick
