Homebody Syndrome????

I have been in remission for a few years now. When I was in full blown Lyme I didn't want to leave my house. I loved the comfort of my home. It was my security blanket. I find that this has carried over, even when I am feeling better. Has anybody experienced this?
I have to say that I am very happy at home. I went to FL for two days in February and on day 2 I could not wait to get on that plane to go home.

Thanks for the welcome. NO! Not at all. One year I ran a marathon a month from London to Hawaii! I flew airplanes. I did a lot. Now I stress if I have to go into DC for dinner (20 miles away). It stinks.

I'm the same way. I like being at home the most. But I don't mind that I love being at home. I think with all of the bad things going on these days, it's natural to feel out of place (maybe because we subconsciously feel unsafe) when not at home. Sassy - maybe it's also a part of getting older. We just become less tolerant of the world around us.

I think my personality has changed over the past 18 months or so. I have numerous brain lesions, so I think it makes sense that I'm different. I am really distant from friends and family these days. Maybe that will change with continued treatment... 2 tsp mepron twice per day, two 100mg doxy twice per day, two bactrim twice per day and yesterday my doctor added artemisinin twice per day 3 consecutive days per week. And he just dropped rifampim.

I'm still in the thick of treatment, but I can understand it. I think a lot of people in remission from this horrible disease suffer a form of PTSD. I think there is always a fear that it will come back. Maybe that fear is keeping you from being comfortable away from home. Like if, heaven forbid, you do get sick, at least you will be home. I hope that makes sense.

Even though I'm not there yet, I know I'm going to have serious issues reintroducing foods. In the back of my head, I think there will always be a "what if." What if that tomato sends me back to that horrible place I was?
