Guest guest Posted May 21, 1999 Report Share Posted May 21, 1999 Hi , Well, at least we all have eachother. We all know that we're not crazy. How about showing your Mom some of the info on this list when she visits? We can all tell her that we've had the same experiences! Take Care, Joan P.S I wonder what Dr.S would do if one of his family members came down with LD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have each other and that means alot to me. I will show my mom all the info on this post that I can. In fact I will have her sitting right here when I check my mail everyday. I really dont think she realizes how many people actually have this disease. To be honest I never realized it myself until I found this post and started doing my own research on Lyme. I was like the general public and thought it was a few and far between illness that could be cured and life went on. Boy have my eyes be opened. Amazing what education will do for you. Im sure that if one of the S's or their family members got this they would be on our side of the fence. There would be some great revelation and they all of a sudden have " medical documentation and scientific research " to justify the change of heart. So much for professionalism and ethics. Take care.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 1999 Report Share Posted May 22, 1999 we need to nbe as educated as we can .....and willing to fight and educate the uneducated....especially drs who do not know any better and listen to the " s " boys......believe me lisa....more and more i hear of people being dx'ed.....and many are sent to me by people that know i am educated about this disease after 11 years......i try to help them as well as i can......and the other thing to learn is we MUST be responsable for our own treatment ......not the docs....a GOOD LLMD will include u in the planning of ur treatment i have found out......

Guest guest Posted May 23, 1999 Report Share Posted May 23, 1999 Hi, Sorry to hear about your insomnia problems. When my husband was having problems, our doctor recommended an herbal remedy called (believe it or not) " Insomnia " . Manufacturer is Hyland's. Their 800 # is (800)624-9659. Check it out. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 1999 Report Share Posted May 23, 1999 Marta, I wanted to ask you if you found info. on the Oxygen therapy and how it makes babesias worse. I am very concerned and I am scheduled for next week. I was also told that I would get one of the worst herks's ever... I am beginning to get alot of anxiety about going. I am also having insomnia. I am up at 3:00 am. on. This has been for About 2 Weeks. I have Ambien to take for sleep. This is not doing the trick......Then I am tired which makes me irritable which makes me depressed and.......cry.........Maybe I should call my Phys. and tell her I am not sleeping and she can prescribe something differrent.....Love Re: [Lyme-aid] What can be done? >From: " J & M McCoy " <mlmccoy@...> > >, > You have the right attitude, I am one bitter girl since I read that long >article about researchers selling out Lyme patients, I need a few days to >get over it.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 1999 Report Share Posted May 23, 1999 lisa..... i have found that it takes family especially moms along time to fathom what this illness is really like.......actually for anyone to realize......when the people at work said " ur giving up a 17 year carreer?.....why don't u just come back to work.....u look fine " i wanted to strangle them......if i could work i would work.....every so often i get this big idea ion my head that i will look for a new job......cause i have a few decent days....then reality and lyme set back in.....my body and especially my mind are not up to it.....it like the people who tell me push urself u will feel better.......guess what? NOT i have learned to listen to my body......if it says turn over and go back to sleep ....thats what i do......my mom did not know what fatigue i was going to till she was dx'ed with cancer(she is clean now) and underwent chemo.....she never could understand me not being able to get out of bed till she couldn't.........i challenge the people who look down their noses at us and do not understand to step into our shoes for just 4 hours .......they would not be able to handle it.....as for moms .....i think a lot of it is misinformation and the rest is denial.....another problem is that we blame ourselves .....hey i did not want this disease my life was cruising along very well ( like my wstory on the lyme quilt says i was living the american dream till " the nightmare hit " and i blamed myself at first......plus the male ego thing ....supporting ur family and such.......it was hard still is sometimes......but i have a great place like this to come and restore my sanity.........

Just got off the phone with mom and dad and the minute she brought up the article again I went off on her. She got the brunt of my anger. I of course aplogized to her and told her not to mention it again until she got here next month and read our side of the story which is much longer nad more informed than the 2 paragraph article in the newspaper. I pretty much told her that if I thought there was nothing wrong I wouldnt go thru all the hassel of getting the IV line and the fight over that with the ins.Co. Nor would I even consider filing a lawsuit. After all when we are in court we are all under oath and she knows Im not a lawsuit kind of person in the first place.

I went off on mom and told her there was no point in discussing this issue long distance and she was going to get a full Lyme course when she got here in June. I am having one of those ugly days and between the fatigue and the anger and the noise sensitivity I have managed to make every one around me think im a lunatic. The kids know that tomorrow will probably be a better day and just steer clear when i get like this. I put it to my parents this way:If I had pneumonia and needed IV antibiotics you would never question it but because I have something that is so hard to understand you think its worth questioning. They are just having a hard time knowing that im so sick and have had such a hard time getting help and they are so far away. Things will get better once they get here and i can show them the proof that what we have does exist and is a serious problem. I know what you mean about people telling you to push yourself and you will be better. Alot of my well meaning friends kept telling me it was just depression and I needed to get out of the house more and exercise and try to come back to work to get my mind off of it. Gee if that were possible I would let my mind and my body be cleared of the whole thing and happily go back to work. And you are right, until someone feels the amount of fatigue and fog we feel they dont have a clue. That is one of the best things about this group. Everyone ca relate to the feelings and understand why we can go to bed at 8:00 and not get up till 2:00 the next day and then go back to bed by 4:00. Alot of days I do good just to take a shower and get dressed. Hope you are feeling as well as possible. Thanks for all the support.

Had time to do one more post and had your answer. LOL You can bet mom is going to be reading while she is here. I know what you mean about getting lost. I never have been much of a navigator but getting lost 2 blocks from home is a little much. That happened last summer when my parents were visiting and i had mom in the car with me. It was early on in the game and i was still in denial myself about anything being wrong so of course we both blew it off. This year they will be driving if we go somewhere because i dont trust myself to drive anywhere but in town. And thats only because i can stop in a hurry if i need to and let things pass or figure out where i am.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 1999 Report Share Posted May 24, 1999 Hi , I really, really understand what you are going through. My Mom hates my Lyme doctor, she used to know his partner, he came in often to a diner where she was a Hostess. Because they had legal problems ending their partnership, she is prejudiced against my doctor. That of course is only one part of it, she worries about what all the antibiotics are doing to my liver, etc. I have learned just not to talk to her about Lyme, when she and I speak on the phone, which is twice daily (I am a Momma's girl, I know), I rarely if ever tell her I am feeling bad. I did subscribe to the Lyme Alliance newsletter for her, so at least once a month she gets an education on Lyme disease and it is free!

Good luck. I've used Hyland's products for years. They are one of the oldest producers of homeopathic remedies. I've never used their insomnia remedy but I've used others for hayfever, teething (for my daughter), bronchitis and headcolds. They are very gentle and effective.

She is just worried about me and knows that all the stress right now isnt helping. She admitted that it her way of reacting to the way we are being treated. (or not treated in our case). She will be much better once she gets here and can take care of her baby for awhile. I think she feels guilty that im dealing with this without her and she feels so helpless being 1200 miles away. You know how we mothers are.She really wants to be here to take care of me but that isnt a possibility because of her health.She is a severe asthmatic and the MI humidity just really makes her sick. Im a little concerened about her coming next month just to visit but it will be nice to see her. I told her I have a great support system with all of you and that I am certainly not alone in this. I think that made her feel a little better. Hope all is well with you.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 1999 Report Share Posted May 25, 1999 Hi , That's great that you could mend fences with your Mom, I guess if my son had this disease, I would be just as concerned as she is. I hope her visit with you next month is not too stressful to her health. Keep the air conditioner turned up to high for her.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 1999 Report Share Posted May 25, 1999 Hi, My teenage son with Lyme also had problems with insomnia. Not being able to get to sleep, which is typical for teenagers anyway. The doctor said it was because the Melatonin levels in a teenagers body decrease. So I started giving him 1/4 of a 300mg. tablet. This also helped, somewhat, with the problem of waking and not being able to get back to sleep.Melatonin can be purchased at the drug store, and is also available in liquid for which may be easier to regulate the amount.
