Guest guest Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 , we can talk in detail privately, but I have felt the same guilt and protectiveness of those men I loved after I found I had Lyme and Ehrlichia. Not to mention, the 35 years I faithfully gave blood. oups. As in AIDS, it is easier as a woman to receive than to give our plague, but givable. But right now in our predicament it is all about us and our health - at least that's the way I have had to " settle " it in my mind. So if there is anyway he can compromise your health, if it were me, I would NOT do it.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 , When I met my boyfriend now fiance I was already sick. We both came from marriages of many, many years. Used condoms for a while, but haven't in long time as we have been together for almost eight years. I wonder about that and feel guilty about that. We figure if he hasn't caught it yet, chances are he won't. Hate that word chances in this subject anyway. I did give him the choice with all the pros and cons. He chose not to. It's so hard to say, we probably should be using protection or should have continued. Oh well, now I am living with the what if. When we went to my llmd appt the doctor didn't seem concerned. Guess not after being together for that length of time. I hear ya .

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 I have had this conversation with my partner and fear is there. My llmd says " relax, have sex " he won't take that away..... " we have so many restrictions to live with this one has not been defined so live a little, guilt free. " Many couples have gone through this and have been fine. This one think positively on.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Jeannie, Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. It is scary because i do not wish this on my worst enemy. My ND said that is his methylation is good then he likely will not get it, but he is also blood type A so that makes me wonder.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 My wife has Chronic Lyme and Bartonella. As far as I know I have never contracted these diseases in the 3 years she has had them. We do not use any protection. Women on the other hand seem more susceptible to catching things from men.
