    Exactly!! All these people have no IDEA that something as basic as *food* can just be ripped from our lives ...one day we can eat what we want....the next day we are living in a whole other dimension.

    Mia, You are sooo sweet. Thanks for making me smile. That was very kind of you....I'll be ok though...I'm a tough cookie. I just know this is going to be my last holiday where I dont feel "festive"....I just feel like things are gonna get better. Tomorrow is only one day...in the future there will many enjoyable holidays that I'll participate in. What...

    Yeah...stupid holidays!! Everyones buying food ALL day long...thats ALL these people who come into my store are doing. Buying FOOD!! Imagine that... How irritating. Ummm lets see.....what will I be eating tomorrow?? Potato or beef or popcorn or apples or ice cream??? Maybe I will have ALL of them.

    Thanks Carla...you guys all made me feel better about this. My mailbox is accross the stret and its a HUGE chore for me to get the mail. I've been good about it lately...I get it every weekend. Well actually I get it on Monday morning.....when I'm headed back to work and my Mom's. I kind of do a drive-by....just throw it all into a bag and into the...

    Ok...so it took me a minute to get this into my "stupified" brain. I'm thinking...what does Celiac Disease testing have to do with Lyme?? Did you type C.D. and it came out Celiac Disease or am I losing it right now? It sounds like your appt. went really well. I'm so happy for you mia...and that your Dr. is pursuing this diagnosis for...

    I'm assuming Dr. Rick does believe that mercury can cause these horrid symptoms.....he *did* send me to the new Dr. afterall. Or maybe he was just trying to get rid of me.

    Did they look at you like this?? OMG...your post made me laugh....I needed that! I take it back....they *did* find something in my stool test. It wasnt a parasite though...it was that C-Diff. infection....BUT the C-Diff may have been overgrown and maybe creating toxins...but it wasnt what was making me sick. C-Diff causes serious "D"....and...

    Cool...Donna. Hold onto that info!! I might be needing it.. I'm glad to hear there are some LLMD's here...I figured there must be....but had no idea how to *find* them. I would be so curious to see what the Bioset testing shows is wrong with you. I think you would like the lady...shes really bright....as in intelligent. Thats what I like....healthcare...

    Donna...is it Dr. Rick you're talking about?? If it is...he's probably thinking "Oh God...not another one of *those* girls." I think I annoyed him because I was always diagnosing myself. He never said it *couldn't* be these things...just that there were other things that were more likely. Same thing with Lyme....he thought he would find a parasite or...

    Rinne...ditto to what Julie said. I also can relate to everything you wrote....its hard but we just get through the days because we know theres a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm really frusterated and sad about your experience with Hoffman. Its such a disappointment....I've been there as well...putting my faith in someone and then getting let down...

    It wouldnt be my own family members I'd be visiting. Since my mom remarried she goes to his family's house every Thanksgiving. Since I became single (and sick) I've been going over their house...but I dont know his family well....only saw them once a year...on Thanksgiving. I dont think my mom wants to make a big deal about everything....it makes her umcomfortable...

    Andrea....cute picture of Seth. Is that one of the new ones?? I think I'll be the only Rachelvillian working tomorrow. I dont care though....I'm not into the holidays this year. Hopefully it will be my last year of ruined holidays cuz of this heinous illness. I'm not doing anything for Thanksgiving at all. Its the first year I'm totally not...

    Susan, That woman sounds heinous. Just *imagining* all the stapleing, counting back change, receipts, etc....is giving me a headache. Those people obviously have got their priorities all wrong...have they not heard or customer service?? Not ever looking up and acknowledging the customer....unthinkable. They could learn from you....you will...

    Miamia...good luck with your appointment today!!

    Georgie...I never had a big noticeable rash. I had one weird bite that was smaller than a dime with a tiny circle around it. The only reason I noticed it was cuz it was on my shoulder.. and it stayed for about a month. I thought it was weird but didnt think much of it....I ignored it. If it had been on my back or on my head....somewhere not so obvious...I...

    EVIE!! I'm so glad you're back home!! We've all been thinking of you and praying for you. Your daughter gave us some info. about you last week. We were getting worried because we hadnt heard anything since. I'm so happy to see you're back. Hope all goes well for your next appt. and yeah....hopefully you wont have to go back. You've made my night...

Please post something when you can. We love you Evie!! Guys....I had a traumatic night. I got treated for chemicals tonight at BioSET....

    Thanks Georgie. I'm really good at researching everything...I go into my Dr. appts. very prepared. I knew about the new lab ranges over 3 years ago when this was all going down. I studied everything about thyroid....discussed all of my concerns with my Endo. My Endo. was actually pretty fed up with me always telling him everything I'd learned. He...

    Julie, My understanding is that no...the other labs are not as competent. Specialty labs (specializing in tick borne diseases) are the ones to use. I've only heard of Igenix or Bowen. There is some specific info about why Igenix is better....I will post it later....when I find it. I have to go to BioSET right now. The tests my Dr. ordered are the...

    Antibiotics make me nervous too. I havent read alot about the urine test....just that its not an antibody tests...it looks for the actual bacteria itself. I think with this test there are often false negatives but a positive would definately give you an answer. Heres some info about testing for everyone.... Co-infections will respond...

    I think she said she was gonna see him tomorrow.....that she's gonna bring her results and if he doesnt help her she will find someone who will.

Yes...there has been alot of support on this thread....its been a really amazing journey and I've made some great friends along the way. Glad you are learning something...
  25. Rachel--24
    ME....I'm one of the 5. Yup...longterm misery....that sums it up pretty good. Oh...and all the other stuff you mentioned....weightloss, general malaise, multiple intolerances, basically feeling like crap despite my best efforts. Ummm...I certainly hope not. Antibiotics *causes* Candida...does not "cure" it. I would really...
