I'm sorry, but my life has been over taken by stress (ACK!!) and I'm in such a funk over the lack of control at times. I was starting to see improvements (along with some issues, but that's to be expected), and here comes a TON (and I do mean a TON) of stress. Well, it's caught up to me.

Whine, whine... I struggle with eating anyway, but now I've completely lost my appetite. If I think of the food I'm about to eat, I can't eat. Everything sounds like it will make me puke.


Whine, whine... I had to really work to convince myself that I MUST take my herbs and supplements yesterday and today so far. It feels sooo never-ending right now and I'm just tired of it all.

Whine, whine.... my innerds are in a rebellious streak. They just are NOT happy campers no matter what I do, and it's been a LOOOONNNNGGGG 54 years living with these emotional innerds! (Ugh)

And, I could go on, but you all know what this is about - WHINING!!! And I'm officially whining today.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Thanks for listening. LOL. It helps when I can reach out to those that truly understand what we struggle with. It's not just one or two things, but often the whole darned body that's just not happy. And, my body IS NOT a happy camper.

Oh - and I am herxing, but only at low levels - ie, some nerve pain/burning, muscle twitches, a bit of brain sluggishness, but nothing at all like what I have been through.

You are entitled to whine as much as you want. You have been such a rock for this community. Always helping everyone out and providing answers. I'm so grateful to you and can't imagine how much work you put in for us.
hopefully you can take a day off and pamper yourself or just rest.

Sending lots of hugs and healing thoughts your way, Trav. Thank you for venting and relying on us - you've helped all of us so much that it's the least we can do for you

I go off to do a bunch of errands yesterday afternoon, and look what happens!! Wow, I'm humbled and blessed. Thank you all for your ever so kind words of love and support. This is truly what I love about our community - the people. You give even though you too are suffering. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each of you:
PurrrsianKitty, ChickenArise, HappyTrails, Red Eye Arab, Girlie, Lmlyme, 10LymeB, Tickbite, Pirouette, K07, Healthexpander, Little Bear, Goshawk, Lymiemomster, Summer16, Lymehater, Sebreg, Pmm and MM!!

We DO have a bit of help - a housemate that is here, so I have help with some of the 'chores' around the house. Hubby does what he can, but if seriously limited right now. Upcoming surgeries are supposed to help though (part of the stress!!).

I am careful to really concentrate on the supportive part of my treatments and not so much on the killing bacteria part during times of high stress, so I should make it through, although I'm sure I'll be "circling the wagons' as the stress mounts after each surgery for hubby. I know I'll be MIA from here off and on (at best) and would like to thank everyone here for helping others during this time - especially the other mods! We have gotten so busy that it takes a whole group of us to keep up!! Wonderful, and yet when one of us is sick or otherwise can't be here, it really makes an impact. So thank you to everyone that does whatever they can to help out.

And, thank you again. I don't like to post about my 'woes' very often as we all have them, and usually mine are things that I know what to do about - but stress is stress and some we can't get out of. Venting and whining about it can be like a pressure relief valve for me. I'm very humbled by many of the posts of support and caring. Thank you all so very much!!

Love you! xxoo
