15+ years and still waiting - yet I always try to be optimistic and positive that this too shall pass!

I am not my lyme disease - it is just another learning lesson in life.

That is how I cope.

Good luck and be well.

I started turning the corner three years into treatment.

Now, I feel my lyme symptoms everday, but I am able to have a life.

I only just recently started to feel quite a bit better, 4 years into treatment.

Now, like savebabe, I feel the disease all the time but I'm able to live again most of the time.

It seems so good!!

Eight months into treatment and I feel 80% when I'm not herxing. I have regular herxes every 21 days, and herx when I change meds. So, I generally have a week of feeling bad followed by two weeks of feeling almost normal.

I had my amalgams out back in 1991, so there wasn't much heavy metal chelation for me, just a little lead and barely any mercury. I think not having to deal much with metals has helped me tremendously.
