You are strong and you will be back! It took me about 5 years, but I think I finally beat this disease. Keep pushing, you will get through. You know these are symptoms and you will get through them! Hang in there! I can remember talking with someone and as I stood there listening I was thinking that I'm dying..I'm dying right in front of their eyes and they don't even know it.... Have you been treated for depression. I'm a pretty optimistic and strong person, but I had to take depression meds for a while. My LLMD convinced me it was a good ideas so my body could focus on healing the Lyme. It did make a difference. I don't know your story, but I had Lyme while my 2 1/2 year old and 14 mos old children had it as well. Talk about hell, but you know what, I always heard stories worse than mine. Do what you have to do for yourself, if you need to feel bad for yourself, that is okay, do it. Everything about this disease sucks! When you feel good, then do what you can! It will get better, again and again.... I wish you the best...

I know, it goes like that! You feel better and get a taste of life and then bam you are back down again. It's a rough cycle and I hope it gets better soon. Keep up the fight! We are all pulling for you. Deb

I'm right there with ya.
Been treating for a little over a year, started feeling better, LLMD took me off one of my meds because I was showing such significant improvement.
Started feeling like myself again, started exercising again, even had my old libido coming back (never thought I'd see that girl again!).
Then out of the blue, BAM! I felt like I was on my deathbed. So bad yesterday I felt like going to the ER.
Called LLMD for advice, and he restarted rifampin.
I feel so defeated. Thoughht I was finally on an upswing and didn't expect to be this far down ever again.
Just not willling to give up. I have too many things I want to do. I graduate from seminary in May, and I want to be there, not in bed with a freakin' lyme flare.
Hang in there!
