I've though about whether I would have believed in chronic Lyme before I got sick, when I was normal. It is indisputable now since I saw the rash, saw the tick, had positive blood tests and now have most of the symptoms on the check list, but I don't know if I would have believed in this as the before me.

Not only is the disease itself utterly bizarre, but the way in which it is treated by the medical community, in which I previously placed my trust, is so illogical as to be unbelievable by anyone on the outside.

Maybe I am a hypocrite in some ways for resenting those with no compassion for me now, but then again we are both following human nature.

I think it is human nature. I have been sick for over a year and I still have days where I question if I have chronic Lyme. I feel like I am loosing my mind.

So if someone who is sick with it questions it I can not blame people to a degree for not understanding.

Hi John

No need too be too hard on Yourself. WE are all broken people living in a broken world,even without lyme.

I stii find Myself in denial after ,oh gee 15,plus years.

Sometimes it feels like a Star Trex experiment gone bad. I think it is not possable for someone who does not have lyme ,to understand. It is very surreal. And living in a pill fixes everything world,makes it that much harder too understand.
