'Roid rage etc, WAS Re: Sara's drug sensitivities

[Guest guest]

Absolutely not! As I said, it feels as if something is awry chemically

in my body. Everything will be going along status quo, except of

course this illness, and then I feel this intense, undescribable

irritability building within a very short period of time. I feel as if

I turn into a monster. The slightest things can have me raging, at a

fallen piece of silverware, forgetting my keys and other minor events

of life.

I can't tell you how relieved I felt to hear talk about Lyme

rage. I then went to another health board devoted just to Lyme

discussions and found a great many people there experience the exact

same thing. Someone even posted something her Lymie doc suggested to

deal with this. I have felt so ashamed to be raging when I'm normally

a very rational person. I've tried to explain this phenomenon to

others but no one really understood, which made me feel even more

disturbed about it. I feel so thankful for this board. If all I ever

learned here was that one piece of information (but of course that

isn't all by a long shot) it will have been worth it to preserve my

sanity around this issue.
