Guest guest Posted May 23, 1999 Report Share Posted May 23, 1999 Hi Connie, Tough question! But first, congratulations for feeling so great. Try to keep a positive attitude that you will continue to feel great, the mind is very powerful I am told. There are many people who get well when they are treated for Lyme disease, so keep that in mind. They just don't post anymore on Lyme forums, they go on with their lives. Savor each and every day that you are feeling great, and put Lyme out of your mind, each of us is different and you may be on your way to a normal life. You are in my prayers, Hugs, Marta >From: Connie Krawz <conniek@...> > >I feel wonderful!!

I feel that there is very little hope for me; been virtually bedridden since 1992---wrong diagnosis, not aggressive treatments etc. thank you lea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Declare victory now and be HAPPY!!!! I don't think you should worry about waking up with these symtoms again. Instead maybe take extra good care of yourself, ie.. sleep, eat right, vitamins, etc... I think you should live for the moment and take care of yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 1999 Report Share Posted May 23, 1999 Hi Conie, that is great that you are feeling so well. You really should stay on meds until you remain symptom free for at least 6 months. I have been in remission ond when I went off I always relapsed. I hope this never comes back for you but consider longer therapy even though you are symptom free. What meds were you taking before the bicillin and how much bicillin were you being given? Stay Well and God Bless-Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
