Okay-I keep thinking everyday I can't feel any worse. But today I actually have the "dying" feeling.

Geneal I am thinking of you.

I literally could not get my aching,exhausted body or brain fogged head out of the house to go food shopping-my one goal for the day.

So- I just finished shopping online and the food will be delivered tomorrow.

I DID feel accomplished that at least I was able to do that.

There ARE BETTER days ahead when I WILL BE ABLE to go grocery shopping... RIGHT??????

Laurie I am in the same boat as you right now and it's not fun. The whole entire winter I shopped on line for groceries and I don't know what I would do without it.

I did go shopping the other week and it felt awesome! lol-the simple things in life really shine through at times. There were will be better days, hang in there.

Dear Laurie,

Yes you will be able to go to the store and shop.

I promise.

How clever of you to think of going on-line to shop.

In the beginning in my doxy herxes, I would manage to get to Wally World,

Only to experience the most awful panic attacks, light issues, brain fog, etc.

This while pushing two fighting children along in those kiddie carts.

I used to think I was just going to fall over in that place...

Then I'd think what would happen to my children?

Sending you positive thoughts, healing prayers and Angels to hold you.

There must be something in the air for all of us to be feeling so bad.

Hope it blows away real soon.

Hugs,

Geneal

Kirsten and Geneal- I know it sounds pretty pathetic to be yearning to go food shopping!

My daughter gave my husband a look of "disgust" when he told her that I couldn't get out but she actually enjoyed adding to the list on-line!

So-let's see- my goal for today will be putting all the food away when it arrives including Her junk food!!!!

I'm going back to bed to watch opening day of the Mets...

Hanging in there and I hope you are too!!

Laurie, It doesn't sound pathetic! You are being realistic. I am learning that I am not the only one out there so "realistic"!

Enjoy your time in bed watching the Mets (go Yankee's)lol

My goal's daily are, shower,laundry,try to keep my house neat and cook dinner so I don't starve my family. Now that's pathetic! lol [woohoo]

Did I mention go Yankees?!
Feel well today!

Mtree- Too bad for your son that it was an awful game! But I am glad to hear he is a Met fan!

Kirsten- If the Mets keep losing I might have to become a Yankee fan!-only kidding...

I took a walk around the block today with my 8lb. Maltese and she walked faster than me!

I equate that feel like I'm dying stuff with med side effects rather than herxing. But that seems to be just me.

It's impossible to overload our systems with antibiotics and not have negative effects from them.

If I feel like I'm dying-I'm afraid I just might be dying-so I back off a bit on the meds. Then ramp up more slowly or switch meds as per my LLMD's suggestions.

Too bad in order to create a hostile environment for the ticks we have to become toxic on meds.

Cool idea about the on line grocery shopping.

It's the pits when your family just doesn't get it.
