I have gotten private emails out the wazoo this week. To top that off, I come onto Lymenet to see some of my dearest and closest friends being tormented, made fun of, poked at and for god's sakes- their work called, only to have MY work called today.

One question- why? And who was it that called MY work today and identified to MY boss " a lymenet friend" and wanted to know if I was either at work or at home, but would not leave their name or number with my boss so as I could call them back? The only information I have is that it was a woman. By all means, if you needed something, please call back, however

In light of all the crap that has been flying around on here lately, I'm not sure I want to return calls! I don't know what to say, really anymore. This does NOT pertain to one issue either, so I won't beat around the bush. When has "crime" beat around the bush?

Let me begin by saying this: To go so far as to contact outside of lymenet to see if someone is real, is pathetic.

To fight over a treatment that may * MAY* help other individuals is outrageous. I cant beat a dead horse, i have realized that.

To call ME at work ( why, am I REALLY that important to you?) is a really bad, bad idea. You know, just last month I received an email from someone I thought was my friend that said " well at least you can work".

You know what I say to you, and to that person? Kiss my butt. You were NOT there when I was completely debilitated for nine months and prayed to god that I would die each and every day only because I was actually took WEAK to kill myself. How dare you compare yourself to me? I work to feed my KIDS. Are you going to FEED MY KIDS? Are you going to pay for my antibiotics?

Excuse the living crap right out of me for IMPROVING.

Now, onto Trout. He's NOT lying. If that is a fact that is important to trout, then I stand by that. I have two eyeballs myself and seen very clearly the crud that was flying around also. Let him ALONE about this, please. Can't we all just get along? Gawd, is there something in the water?

I agree, if you have a problem with someone, you should take it up with THEM. It takes a really really small person to sit around and email other lymenet members about how "wrong" or "nuts" or "weird" this other lymenet member person is. On this front and other fronts, alot of fighting on lymenet

could be stopped if people would just EMAIL the person that offended them to begin with! IF you dont like someone, or don't like trout, or dont like ME, then move on along! Its really not all that hard. Truly, its a simple task.

I've been around here since last June. I know who the trouble makers are and I know who they are not. I know that I myself, have a temper. Yes, especially when it involves peole saying crap to me or about me or calling my work! Heck, I backed off lymenet for a tad only to post today and have someone go off on me for ONE sentence that I wrote. Why?

I've seen behind the scenes backstabbing, competition, you name it. And frankly, I'm tired of it.

Thats ok, because I have learned who my friends are, and if you are on block on my email list, I probably don't enjoy your company any more. There's been quite a few lies that have been spread around about "the crimeof lyme" and now trout?

nah, aint going there.

And to the woman that called my work today, lose the number unless you wish to identify yourself. And to the backstabbers and you know who you are, get over it. You should put that time and energy into your family. maybe you would complain less. You could also put all that energy into getting better.

There, now thats all I have to say.

Am I looking for an argument? NO. I just want everyone to get along. Hate me for it, thats your perogative.

Good day!

I apologize for being a little sharp in my last reply to you. I will edit it soon after this.

I'm not that well known around here, I have posted some experinces that I have had with Lyme (I was bitten in Germany) Most people just ignore you if they don't agree, or if that particuliar problem has not been their personal experince with this disease. That is OK by me!!

IMO--I would just like everyone to look at this site as a sharing of information and experinces---some which you may have in your own journey with this disease---some of which you may not

Sorta like a safe place to come and *brainstorm*, A Lyme Think Tank

No one has all the answers, and you know what they say "Opinions are like a*sh*les, everyone has one!!"

Many posters here have much knowledge and experince--but it is just different disease state for everyone--and I don't see any LLMDS' here posting the answers to other posters questions--so lets just read everything here with an open mind!

What a find.
