I am one of those people. Of course, symptoms of both Lyme and withdrawal are different for everyone. For me, withdrawal was worse. Partly because it was new and scary and NO ONE prepared for what I...
Yes, this is in all the books I mentioned. But at the time, I didn't believe it. I didn't think they would let the doctors and tv lie to me like that. It meant it wasn't my fault, it was hereditary,...
It was in my household too. But everyone said it was the LACK of pills that caused these rages. So when I started having my own issues with mental health, it was "common sense" that I needed them as...
All true, and it's been my life for the last 19 years. Tapered off my last ever antidepressant on Sunday. I AM FREE! It was h3ll. It was hard work, it was expensive. It turned my life upside down....
This is why we need these discussions in a Lyme context! We all know the Lyme rage and insomnia! We have to support one another through our struggles! I also realize that I was really unclear about...
No problem - I don't take disagreement to automatically mean disrespect - something it seems the entire world needs to re-learn. I'm not going to "send you to hell" for disagreeing with me. However,...

@Wisco woman: Matthew 7:7 says “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the...
@WalkingByFaith Thank you sincerely for your encouragement. I was in tears as I wrote it, felt more like it was coming through me than from me. I moved overseas and was forced into missing all the...

A Lymie friend of mine who really struggled with constipation found great relief with IASO tea (I have no personal experience with it). I just found out (by going without it for a few weeks and...
I made a complete Thanksgiving dinner that was safe for my strict Lyme diet - Whole30/Paleo and it wasn't just tolerable, it was AMAZING! A few weeks ago I had a burst of nervous energy and used it...
