actually had time to read up on lyme today. is it ok to be terrified? :(

Yes, but only for a minute .... once you know the face of the monster making you ill, you will only then be able to fight it.

I'm feeling pretty tired today myself ... I had a little energy this morning, but all the activity is catching up with me.

Yes, I'm going to a doc in NY in January .... I'll have to find that name again.

It will have been two weeks that Igenex rec'd the blood on Tues. I expect that with the holiday it may take a little longer.

Then I went to buy some new shampoo ... they added wheat and oats to Alterna ... jerks ...

Jerks!!! Why do they have to change a perfectly good product...I just don't understand it.

As far as I know there was no extra cost....you can also bring in any supplements or meds you want to have tested.

Making bracelets and lying on the couch sounds sooo peaceful and relaxing to me. I've been up since 4...had to go in to work....filling up milk and eggs. Not fair. :angry:

Thanks! Well, I woke up at 4:30, but just didn't get out of bed until after 5:00, lol. Hopefully you'll get to relax soon!

Doggies licking your fingers.....I have that every day here. :) I don't know what I would do without my girls, and they were allowed to go to my brother's (their stinkiness usually deters social invitations :lol

very humourous indeed! :lol: and crazily sad...... :huh:

Yes, I'm so happy my cousin brings hers to all family functions...they are beagles...rescued from a research lab, and they are adorable.

it's just SO cold here today! (well, we are wussies in California, it's probably 50 degrees and that is freezing to me, to go hiking :lol: )

Yep, I had a long sleeve tee-shirt, a sweat shirt and the space heater on today...we really are wussies, we Californians, lol. :lol:

lyme ladies...today was a bad day for me...couldn't even make it into work. actually had time to read up on lyme today. is it ok to be terrified? :(

I'm sorry you had a bad day! Yes, I'd say not only is it okay, but I'd go so far to say that I might be worried if you weren't terrified! :(

You big babies! It was 68 and sunny here today!!! Very unusual!

:lol: I'm the first to admit, I'm a big baby! :lol::lol: I did have some small excuse though...I needed to get some stuff together for the trip--hadn't even begun to think about packing...it's hard to think about what to take to the caribbean when you're shivering, lol. :lol: I am now mostly packed though. Gotta love those space heaters. :lol:

Sure, for a minute but then remember you are in the company of Lunatic Laughing Lyme Ladies and you are going to be just fine. We are fearless, capable of exploring voodoo magic, confronting idiot doctors, investigating and treating ourselves, and very importantly we can laugh at the Lyme Monster. :ph34r: This is not bragging. :rolleyes::lol::lol: We are surrounded by friends here in Rachelville and we know that here is a place.... now I need the Cheers lyrics. :wub:

I must say, that is why I was supposed to go. I needed to hear that. I felt like I was being wrapped in a big hug.

That's one of my favorites!

Rachel, maybe it's time for a sauna, sorry you are so cold. :(

Laura, that is a beautiful passage and so deeply true. Thank you for posting it. :)

Laura, what comforting words--I tell ya, I felt like I was wrapped in a hug as I read it. Just beautiful :) I was reading what you said about your decision to stay with the doctor at JH. It sounds like a good idea. He seems to be open-minded and realizes that you know what you're talking about. You are going to get this all worked out :)

Rinne, I hope you are feeling better today--you do sound more positive! I bought the tea you suggested--Tension Tamer. I haven't tried it yet because I bought it on Wednesday and didn't want to feel too relaxed while I needed to cook for Thanksgiving! Going to have a cup tonight, though :rolleyes: Thanks! Oh, glad you liked the Cheers theme--it just goes through my head sometimes :D

Rachel, How did you do yesterday? It about broke my heart that you were spending the day alone. I even told my husband that it must be some kind of cosmic joke that I can feel so close to people who are in reality thousands of miles away. You know that if we were closer geographically, you would have been invited to our table with us having whatever you could manage. :)

Donna, How was your resting day? It sounded very nice, actually! :D How cute do your cousin's beagles sound?

Sorry to everyone who's cold and can't seem to get warm. I always ran hot--to the point where the slighest exertion would make me sweat, even in the dead of winter. Now, I get cold easily--but today, it was georgeous, sunny and warm enough to open a few windows. It's supposed to be nice through the weekend. I hope we don't pay for this with a harsh, cold winter.

Susan--How you doin' today, Sweetie? Did you have to work? :unsure:

Carla, you look like one of the kids in your new picture--very cute! Your son is very handsome.

Wierd not having Andrea here :unsure: I hope all is going well for her with her dad and all.

Patti's right, any of you would have been invited here, too. :)

I'll iron the pillowcases. :lol:

I bought new napkins and placemats for Thanksgiving ... I've always had not enough, and with our new dining room table, I thought it was time for new ones. So, I washed them first and took them upstairs ... hubby asked what I was doing, and I told him I was ironing them. He couldn't comprehend that they needed to be ironed! Now, if I started ironing pillow cases, I don't know what he'd do!!

I'll be glad to get an update from Andrea.

:lol: Carla--I bought a new tablecloth and napkins! I lucked out--they're not cotton so I ran them thru the wash and put the tablecloth directly on the table from the dryer and folded the napkins quickly! No wrinkles and no ironing, either :D Bone lazy :ph34r:

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
