When I feel like that I take a few days off from the internet. Maybe a little break would do you good.
Please don't give up, though. We can never give up.

Are you currently treating lyme and co-infections? Are you on ABX or a herbal protocol? Could you be herxing?

Spring will be here soon! I heard it was on the way... so hang in there dear Kayak. OK?
And I'm with you on going to Medical. Too depressing sometimes. I can't take one post after another and another... all with medical questions and problems.
I'd rather have them broken up with other interesting/fun things in between.. like it was in the old days on the old LymeNet boards.
Soooooooooooo.. as my saying goes...
When I become President... this is what I'll do...

Me too. I noticed that awhile back that I rarely go to medical.
But, it certainly helped me keep my sanity when I needed it.

yeah...i think i've entered the "can't teach old dogs new tricks stage"
i am beginning to think i am too old for this world
just like kris kristopherson says..."they keep changing the rules"
i was on abx for 20 yrs on and off...3 sraight in the beginning helped a lot. but they stopped helping
so now i am doig buhner---but i had to start slow with tea and am working up
i think it is helping some...but nothing willhelp the osteo arthritis i have everywhere
i think red root is keeping my lymphnodes clear from the bart

Or maybe they're trying to make us think that the rules have changed when they really haven't...?

I've not been to answering as much cause I feel I'm repeating constantly.
Wish the search was bolder & bigger so that those asking question can do a search first & get tons more info that has been spoken/written of for years.
The newer members are trying to answer but there are more experiences & vast knowledge you old timers have, gets missed.

That would be nice!!
But still.. newbies want personal contact. They want to hear it first person sometimes. I understand that!

Yes, I too think they want & really need to feel we care w/personal contact.
I just think a search first would answer so many of the questions.
I'm also just not as organized as you, keebler, tincup, and gigi, six, all the others who manage to get out their vast info to the poster.
I feel horrble when I just say "do a search, it'sbeen discussed many times before".
I know they want to hear at their own post but they're missing so many answers from other old posts.
I think a easier to see "search" would be helpful.
Gotta go.

Hi DMC,
I didn't even notice the search bar until you pointed it out in your post.
thats a good idea to make it bolder for us newbee's.
I went out and explored a short while ago.
Thank you.

Lpkayak... I wanted to bump this post.
I think more of us should read this post. Since I found the "search bar", I never go to medical anymore,
unless it's past posts from you old timers.LOL

I believe I'll hang with you guys in general and off topic for awhile. It will keep me out of trouble.
I laugh out loud here and in off. Feels good.

Whew. No kidding. (Not sure it's so much better on some of the threads in this section either.)
Happy St. Patty's Day to everyone!
Even if we're sick of the color green (esp. Lyme green...not even spelled lime anymore).
