    OMGosh....its sometimes astonishing to me too! I sometimes sit and wonder where in the heck I got the strength to deal with all this. I think alot of it came from knowing all of you...and having all this support. I cant imagine I would've been this strong w/out you guys.

    Rinne....I can see you doing this! Blowing their tiny little minds...LMAO Rinne....I get that too...hot, burning tears. I'm so happy when my tears are wet (not sticky) and when they are cool (not burning my skin).... its a GOOD day when the tears are "normal".

    I'm thinking the same thing...some organs arent detoxing well. Assuming the Bioset is accurate.....for me it is my liver, lymphatic system and my stomach which are holding onto the toxins. About the crying and then feeling better. OMG....there have been so many times that I've had to actually make myself cry in order to feel better. Most times its...

    It makes sense Julie. Believe it or not the first two years of my illness I was NOT losing weight...I was gaining. I had gotten noticeably bigger *everywhere*. I felt very "swollen"....I had dimples in my legs and other areas. Even though I was sick...in those first years I didnt make a connection with food at all....I thought it had something to do with...

    I found this recommendation for Bioset from a Lyme patient YAY....reading stuff like this gives me lots of hope. I'm reading lots of stories like this...WOOHOO....maybe I am on the right path with the Bioset. Hmmm...sounds like I'm some kind of spokesperson for Bioset.

    G'nite everyone. Evie...did you get the C.Diff link? I posted it a page or 2 back...in case you missed it. EXACTLY

    ROFLMAO OH....ok...I'm glad I dont *appear* to be rooting for the BAD team. Georgia...GOOD...Fresno...BAD. Got it. Julie....yeah being sick does suck. I get in "sad song mode" too sometimes. I hope you are back to yourself very soon. PHEW....I'm glad you resisted those temptuous crackers. The PUNCHING BAG!!!! Had forgotten...

    Camping talk is always fine with me. Have I metioned my LOVE for camping?? Camping with all the amenities...of course. My camping days are NOT over...I may *look* a little strange with all my protective gear and stuff that I learned from Susan and Beverly about tucking pants into socks and such.... Nevertheless....I will STILL camp....probably not with...

    Totally off topic..... Susan....these BULLDOGS that we root against....are they Georgia Bulldogs??? My hat that I wear to work....it's red with a "G" on it. All the time I get these male customers going "Oh...a Georgia fan!". Ummm...no...the "G" stands for GIRL. I get it all the time...me and Georgia have nothing in common and I'm sooo...

    OMG...I totally have the same problem with Racheling those crackers. A whole package is gone when I only planned on having a few. Well...I cant say for certain that its something in the crackers....cuz of my problem with Racheling *everything* but who knows?? Maybe the alien baby is doing this...maybe he requires large amounts of food and normal size...

    Rinne...the new Dr. already told me that even if the Infectious Disease guy had ordered the test (he said they rarely do) he would not have used a reliable lab. The Infectious Disease guy was at Kaiser (HMO)...he said these DR.'s NEVER use Igenix. He said my results would likely have been negative even if I'd been tested. He said they often lie about the...

    Rinne....you kill me! I havent had a drink for about a year and a half now...maybe longer. What was happening was that sometimes when I'd be out drinking and then seeing myself in a mirror...I was noticing that I was looking *sickly*.....like my skin color looked GRAY. Not to mention that the alcohol was affecting me WAY more than it ever...
  14. Rachel--24
    Susan...I love it when you have these joyful days. Having wine and getting silly sounds like alot of fun and if I cant do it....I'm sure glad someone can. Hope you're having more spooky fun at your bro's.
  15. Rachel--24
    ROFLMAO Rinne....I just cant get enough of this!!! Especially #3....I LOVE it!!
  16. Rachel--24
    No pearls for me... Pearls would look all wrong on me...it would be quite scary I think. I will be the "pearl-less" Laughing Lyme Lady....but I do want to wear blue. Rinne....the Samento seems promising. I keep reading good things about it. I really think my Dr. is gonna want to use this type of treatment for me. I cant wait to find out how...

    Evie...I'm having trouble posting tonight so I apologize for the delay. Heres the link for the C.Diff board... Open Original Shared Link I dont know if Vancomyacin is related to penicillin...it shouldnt be hard to find out though. I'm guessing no...but this is just a guess. I will pm you the link as well in case you dont see this.
  18. Rachel--24
    Laura, Forget about that doctor....he SUCKS and one day you can give him a letter just like the one Rinne gave to her idiot Dr....telling him that you are much smarter and that basically he is incompetant. You know it, your mom knows it and we know it. Dont let the idiots drain you....they can suck the life right out of you. Sheeeesh...this all brings...

    Anyone getting tested for Lyme... Carla....your post reminded me of this. I recall that if you're blood is going to Igenix you'll want it drawn at the beginning of the week. I think they need to get it there so that it can be tested fairly quickly. I dont remember if it has to be frozen or not but I do recall that it shouldnt be sent toward the end of...

    Mango....WHAT???!! (shocked face emoticon goes here) There is NO Halloween in Australia??? No Thanksgiving?? I was not aware of this...please tell me there is XMAS. First I find out people are doing away with Television and now THIS!! Its too much for me in one day! (2 shocked faces go here) When are you coming back? Its been a few months now...
  21. Rachel--24
    OMG....I'm getting so behind....why is my "add reply" not working?? Sooooo frusterating. Beverly, Thats awesome that you're getting all these tests done. I'm a firm believer in taking tests. I dont think I've ever refused a test...no matter how "far off" it seemed. In the last 4 years I took about a million tests and I found out that I'm PERFECTLY healthy...
  22. Rachel--24
    I dont know why but I'm not able to reply....except for the "fast reply"....I cant remember all that I wanna reply to so will have to come back later and see if its working. Quick question: Does anyone think that maybe after I've gotten adequate treatment for Lyme I might be able to drink alcohol again?? A normal halloween....when I was healthy would...

    Sandy, I'll keep Matt in my thoughts and prayers. I hope they are just being thorough and that it turns out to be nothing serious. Please keep us posted as to how everything goes.

    Evie, I will be praying for you....C.Diff is nothing to mess around with. I was found to have C.Diff toxins in my stool but I didnt have any of the symptoms or "d". I was treated anyway....two miserable weeks on Metronidazole. The GI told me it hadnt reached the point of making me sick but later down the road could have....so I'm glad I had the treatment...
  25. Rachel--24
    Miamia....you will find out. Hang in there and keep having that desire and drive and it will come. Patience is the hard the part though.....as you can see from my posts...I struggle with this even after diagnosis. Patti...sorry about the glutening. Laura, good luck today!! Alison, good morning to you and everyone else....I'm off to work...
