Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Dear Maud, I'm glad you have your son. My daughters are young adults and live far away. I too moved to a new area before the Lyme really got bad (in fact I was in some kind of remission for 8 months). If you email me privately we could get acquainted, and later talk on the phone--I have unlimited long distance calling. Wishing you better days ahead, Kim (western Massachusetts) Re: [ ] Being Alone HI to all the lonely one's out there and Josie's e-mail hit home. I moved to a new area over a year ago (Blacksburg,VA) and I was sick, but I didn't know how sick. I had been sick for a year when I moved here to be close to my son. I have been too sick to socialize and make friends, so I am alone a lot and very lonely. If it weren't for my son, I don't know how I would have managed. The rest of my family live in Denmark and Sweden. I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago with Lyme and Bartonella after a night mare of a journey trying to find out what was wrong with me. Now the next chapter starts: How to get the best treatment and nobody agrees what that is. The doctor that diagnosed me doesn't feel comfortable treating me on her own. More confusion. There are no specialists here, so I will have to travel 5-6 hrs to see one. Then this waiting game goes on and on. I would love to have someone to talk to once in awhile, as I am scared too. There is no support group here and I feel I am on shaky ground, an unknown territory with a lot of uncertainty. Thank you for this group.
