Hi Everyone,

My name is and I am new to the group. I was diagnosed with

Lyme disease 5 years ago and I have severe chronic pain on my entire

left side. I take 40 mgs of Methadone a day, which just takes the

edge off my pain. I've had minor success managing my symptoms over

the years. At times I've been able to be somewhat active and social,

but right now I'm as limited and isolated as I've ever been. I just

turned 39 and I live by myself. Lately I've been spending all day

and night alone in front of the TV trying to find the least painful

position on the couch and trying not to think about all the things I

could be doing.

I look forward to meeting you all. So where is everyone from? I was

living near San Francisco when I was diagnosed, but had to move back

to North Carolina after I was no longer able to work.

Thanks for listening,
