Topic: 4 Years NO SYMPTOMS!!!!!!

I stopped coming around here about 4 years ago when I finished my last course of antibiotics.

But at that time I made a committment to myself and this community to stop back in at least once a year, simply to say YOU CAN BEAT LYME!

When I first starting suspecting Lyme in September of 2002, it seemed to me from reading all the posts here that I would never get rid of it.

Everybody said "those who are cured go on with their lives and don't post anymore."

I didn't believe that because I searched high and low for months and couldn't find even ONE person who was cured.

Since that time I have come into contact with DOZENS of people who are symptom free and have gone on with their lives.

It can be done! In December of 2005 I bought 7 acres of woods in the Ozarks and started building my own house. Last winter I cut down almost an acre of trees and stacked up over 10 cords of firewood. For anyone who knows how much work that is you know that if I still had Lyme that would have been impossible.

Thank you, Matthew! So glad to hear how well you're doing.

Two years ago I thought I'd never get out of bed and yesterday I spent all afternoon cleaning up toys that my kids had scattered all over the basement.

Your message reminds me how far I've come and how far I can continue to go!

Two days ago I felt nearly symptom free! It felt so good I nearly cried with joy!

God bless you, thanks for the HOPE!

Great news!! I've been pretty much symptom free on the GFCF diet, but am just starting my battle with lyme.

Hey, watch out for those fleas in the woods. I think that is where I got my lyme (fleas from the woods behind our house in Missouri).
