Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 You are not alone Kendra! There are other very ill long termers out here too! Do I remember your name from some of the ME/CFS groups? Have you been following any of the XMRV information or XMRV/Lyme connection? Hang in there sweetie! They're finding out more all the time. Our time is coming! Looking forward to your next post.  “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 yes Kendra..this illness sucks...being ill sucks...it is at these times..groups like this are my life line...sure i would love to be out there..but that isn't posible..but i can read and connect with you who is going thru a similiar situation..that makes it worthwhile and bearable for me...I just keep reaching out when i can and i am amazed at where the help comes from and when...who knows why we are in this path....there is a stillness in it...some people never experience all we go thru in a lifetime...and i don't think it is all a bad thing... but i know something...in every year i have been ill my life has changed...it will continue to change and grow....that is the beauty I hold onto..peace in you From: boejr1@...

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 You could sign my name to the bottom of this statement because it's exactly my story too, except for the moving to a new city part. I've been having good success with herbal remedies. I've been taking Banderol tincture and Cats Claw which taken together tested 100% effective in killing Lyme in vitro. I was doing really great, better than I have in many years, for about 4 weeks but now I think I'm herxing. I'm not so great anymore. There are many people who know exactly what you are going through.
