    Helena, I have also made the decision to abandon conventional medicine due to very bad experiences. Conventional medicine and mainstream Dr.'s did NOTHING to help me. I had asked to be tested for Lyme and was sent to an infectious disease specialist...who not only refused to test me but basicially laughed at me, ridiculed me and told me I was needing psychiatric...

    Yup....it makes perfect sense. Thats how I felt too...my body was broke and I wanted a new one.....or no body at all was fine with me. I just wanted the pain and all the weirdness to go away. Andrea, I'm glad you're dad called and told you exactly what he wants. Now you know and dont have to worry about overwhelming him. Everything will work out...

    Judy, Have you heard anything?? There was an Evie "sighting" a short time ago...but no posts. Maybe she is back at home??

    I'm in the same boat Susan....the holidays (which used to be my favorite) have turned into another heinosity. Instead of being the "most wonderful time of the year".....the whole thing is quite dreadful. Cant wait till its over. The whole thing.....the holidays, the Lyme, everything.....I just want it all to disappear. More from Bridget Jones??? ...

    Susan...I'm thinking this is a good sign. You FORGOT to tell us cuz you are healing....moving on.... moving on to bigger, better "dorkier" things?? Seriously....I think its a GOOD sign.

    Thats exactly how I felt....except for the part about not being lost....I had actually never felt more lost in my life. I think thats where most of my despair came from. Those times that I was giving up and thinking I couldnt hold on....it was because I had nothing to hold on to. I was LOST. I found it was utterly impossible for me to get direction...

    Yup...maybe things like this have happened before in my life but if it ever did....I never noticed. I'm thinking this is my first real experience with something like this. I actually wasnt afraid when I thought I was dying....I was wanting it to happen because I was tired. I was giving up....but then even though I wasnt getting immediate answers I was getting...

    Helena, Your sisters' situation sound alot like Lyme. I've been reading personal stories of people with Lyme....how they got it...when the symptoms hit them...etc. What you wrote about her sounds alot like some of the stories I've read. Symptoms will usually appear at the time of infection....but they can vary in severity. Some people get very ill very quickly...

    I got emotional out of nowhere. Maybe I am healing. I found your thread....I'm gonna call you tomorrow k?
  11. Rachel--24
    Andreas thread?? I will have to go read now.....
  12. Rachel--24
    I didnt know you were here! See my last post. 'Course you are not chopped liver...
  13. Rachel--24
    nobody is here tonight....'cept me. I wonder if Susan is at the pub...torturing that man. hehe....cant wait to hear about it. I'm feeling better now that I've "confirmed" that Lymies get MCS and now that I've released some pent up emotions. Dont know where it all came from...but there were tears and I think they are good tears. I...
  14. Rachel--24
    Ok....here is what some Lymies had to say.... Interesting stuff ....there is definately a link...my Doc knew what he was taking about. I've decided that my obssesive *need* to verify everything from one end to the next....must come from 3 horrid years of dealing with incompetant Dr.'s who would likely not have...
  15. Rachel--24
    I keep thinking MCS is my biggest problem....the one main factor that keeps me from living life the way I want. I've looked into MCS alot and had never seen it linked with Lyme. The first I heard it was from my doctors mouth when he said he wanted me tested for Lyme because of the chemical sensitivities. It wasnt a shock to be hearing about Lyme but I was...
  16. Rachel--24
    This is a prime example of the heinosity of dryer sheets...robbing me of scientificness. I think the last hour of my shift today half of the people invading my space were wearing Bounce...OMG.....I feel kind of loopy.
  17. Rachel--24
    YAY for the extra poundage. How much longer on this diet??? Thanks for letting us know about miamia...hopefully she will post about how it went. I'm getting even more worried about Evie... I do BioSET treatments but this doesnt sound the same?? Why would you have to avoid the food for a week?? Even with N A E T treatments I...
  18. Rachel--24
    Claire....yup...thats what happens to me. The toxins dont get cleared and my brain gets affected....BIG TIME. I'm doing Bioset treatments...its only been 2 wekks for me though. It wasnt Vega testing that I did....its BioSET. She did all kinds of testing on me....not just foods. My treatments arent focusing on de-sensitizing foods yet. We're still working...
  19. Rachel--24
    Premature post... This couldnt wait....I'm voting NO on "scented" shelves .....or are these self-scenting shelves only in Andreas house?? "Scented" anything scares me.
  20. Rachel--24
    yeah....damn ticks! If I recover to the point that I'm normal again...or close to it...the Lyme would still be there. It would just be reduced and held back by my immune system. If something happened to me down the road....like an accident, a virus, severe stress...anything that really weakened my immune system would allow the Lyme to come back. I...
  21. Rachel--24
    Andrea, that made me laugh first thing in the morning. Yeah maybe Susan is right and the Lyme has gotten to my brain. Darn. I've decided to NEVER say I'm going to bed early again....everytime I say it...I stay up later then ever. I am sooooo tired....at least today is Friday. Good morning Rinne.
  22. Rachel--24
    No....I havent recovered. I havent even started treatment yet...was only diagnosed a few weeks ago. Lyme is a very complicated disease....I've been learning all that I can. I'm still being tested for other infections that are common with lyme (co-infections). The prognosis depends on so many different things. If treated immediately the prognosis is extremely...

    No...my Bear dog is far away from me. He's at home in Manteca. My moms condo is a no-pet zone. This is one of the worst things about all this stupid illness...I cant see my dog everyday. When I was off work for those 2 years...I was there with him everyday. When I started getting better we spent the whole summer working in the yard together. He was...

    Its more to do with the liver and the body's inability to detox efficiently. Its a build-up of toxins....eventually it leads to chemical sensitivities. The immune system is pretty taxed when chemical sensitivites develop. Do a search on MCS....you'll find that heavy metal toxicity has ALOT to do with MCS. I never knew about Lyme causing MCS....not until...
