Guest guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 , Same here. I was so relieved initially to find out that it was Lyme - that I wasn't just a Psycho-B & #ch! I was encouraged that there might actually be something I could do in terms of treatment. I'm a little down now, cause the more I learn, the more I realize what lies ahead........sometimes I wonder if I have what it takes to overcome this. I'm still having trouble getting used to not working - and the very real possibility that I'll never work again. I am fortunate in that I had purchased supplemental long-term disability insurance at work (before diagnosis) which lasts for 2 years. They are pressuring me however to start the Social Security application process. I had so much of my worth as a human being tied into my profession as a nurse. And now, I can't even take care of my family properly. Does wonders for one's self-esteem........... OK. OK.....I'll get off my pitty-potty. I'm so exicited - my insurance has finally approved trigger point injections and I'm going today to get needles stuck into the kazillion knots that are called my muscles. Yippee!!! !!
