New article, "What does Lyme feel like?"

"What does Lyme feel like?" By Lori Dennis

This does have the potential to be a trigger for anxiety or PTSD like episodes. Please,if your struggling right now, consider carefully if you should read this or save it for a day your doing better.

I believe it to be a well written article, capturing the minimums many of us live with.

"Before long, they too will be affected. Maybe then they will get off their high horses and pay attention to this undeniable level of anguish and affliction."

I believe this to be true. Just think...we'll be some of the ones with some answers.

And LindaLew I was going to like yours!

the description is how I felt in December. affirming. feeling a spike in symptoms last two days and good to be reminded of the progress relative to the place of feeling like I was dying and wanting to be dead to escape the torment. nice share!

I like how "feeling weird" is listed as a symptom. Sometimes it's not any one distinct symptom. It's just feeling weird.

When someone ask me what feeling weird is, it's kind of like feeling "off" and the best way I can describe it is sort of, kind of like a mild to moderate hang over. Or after you had a few beers and you feel off but without the pay off of a good beer buzz lol.

Thanks for posting. I am on Facebook too much in some Lyme groups, I was looking for the "Like" button!

LOL! I have literally lost count on how many times I've tried or wanted to do this! I think we need a "like" button here!! LOL! Sometimes I really don't have anything to add, I just want to show that I like the post/comment!!

That describes it perfectly....i'll have to write that down.

Same here, Girlie! She's capable of putting these things into words so well! She has a book coming out this summer that I can't wait to get!

I've always complained about this! LOL! I mean when I earned it, it was okay in a weird way, because at least I had a good time, but with Lyme, the 'good time' is missing!!!

Very good article - thanks for sharing, oh Queen of Links ;)

You know I can't resist!! Gotta keep up my good name, you know! Giggle!

I think the reason she stopped there (she talked with me some online) is because she realized that so many people go from what she described and then we can all seem to branch off into many different issues. Some of us have excruciating nerve pain, some have horrible psych issues, some of us have horrible gut issues, some of us have seizures - and the list goes on. For a short, concise article, there's no way she could include all the little intricacies of what life with Lyme can be like.

It's just a good place to start, I think. Maybe you could use it to open the doors of communication though? Then you could explain what your symptoms are like that go above and beyond what she mentioned.

Thank you for sharing, Traveler! I shared this to my Facebook page because I believe most people think it is like a virus. You get sick, take medicine and get better!

Have a great Mother's Day!

Wonderful!! It's a short article that's to the point without belittling the reader that may not realize these things, in my opinion!

I hope your Mother's Day is really wonderful too!!
