Keep fighting!!!

My friend is a third world country nurse, where they medicate whole groups of people, sick or not, for months on end until the few they are watching have gotten rid of symptoms. She has been there for two generations now, the third is on its way, and they are not seeing adverse affects.

My daughter has been in IV medication, and no less than four orals at any given time for the past three years. (IV's only 14 months now) and her "immune" system profile is finally where it should have been before she got beat down with multiple tick infections!

Her physical response to all this treatment is that she is no longer bed bound, she can breathe again, her pain is coming under contrl she is no longer fatigued for three weeks after an afternoon out, and she is ROCK CLIMBING and showing her horse and trainign her horse again!!!

It took four years of CONSTANT medicating...

If you want to get well address the following:
diet
supplementation
antibiotics (the need for)
excercise (mild at first...no rock climbing for you yet)

I was diagnosed as bi polar at age 44. I am still not in agreement with the diagnosis but the mood stabilizers help, so I take them. I am on pain meds (duragesic patch with breadthrough meds) anxiety medicaion, medication for cranial pressure plus all the suppliments and probiotics--IV antibiotic treatment.

I know that feeling of wanting it all to just stop even for a minute. I wake up sometimes and before my eyes are open I have had a thousand thoughts already-it is madning--it is my disease and I remind myself of that daily. I am heavily medicated but on the other side of all this I believe there is healing and that is what I hold on to.

Just dealing with crohns is hard enough-I saw a lot of that in my profession as an ultrasound technologist-I am not working now-can't for now.

so you see a therapist to help you sort through all this?

when you said that you were on treatment for lyme for eons, what type of treatment? Are you using a LLD? You have been off treatment for lyme for 4 years and feel symptoms are back? Just not clear on that.

Small baby steps is my suggestion and seeing a councelor to help you sort through all this.

I should of emailed you I guess but just started typing and am tired so I hope you do not mind I just put this in public forum.

hang in there

I am trying to pull myself out of a slump right now too so I am not sure how helpful I will be.

I know Lish's mom's post certainly helped me.

I also sat in on a chat today for people with MG. I have started a post called Enpowering yourself to cope with Lyme -The how to's. I adjusted it to fit Lyme instead of MG, because the information is good for a lot of conditions.
