when your supplements outnumber the local store

I have a cupboard full of tinctures and supplements.

I even have some extra to make sure I am never without.

I should by stock in these places that supply me.

You know you have lyme when you know more than your doc does...
when you are excited to have gone to the store or just wash your hair ...
when something gluten free dairy free soy free tastes good ...
when you get excited to get regular sick ....

when you get stoked to read a pubmed on persister meds efficacy
when you get excited to see slides from latest ilads conference
when you jump that your lastest microscope accessories come in

and the coup de gras ...when you have energy to cook,eat and clean the kitchen

When you go away for a few days and keep the cooler containing the Mepron and a thermometer (with a container of peanut butter) in the front of the car with you like it's precious cargo.

you know you have lyme when you feel proud you pushed yourself to get out of bed to take that pill your forgot (and remembered).

..when you feel accomplished when you make it to the store.

When you commit to eating cats claw powder three times a day even though it makes you want to throw up...

"You know you have lyme when you know more than your doc does"

Lol, THIS. When you're self treating because years of medical education and practice still isn't enough for most doctors to wrap their head around the concept that bacteria may display a few different morphologies. Yet they are endlessly fascinated with the nearly 200 morphologies human cells take on.

Lol at these!

Here's mine:

You take so many homeopathics that you think you're buzzed by the time you're done with your morning doses.

-You hear that "so and so" has MS or ALS or Alzheimer's or Fibro or Dementia or Parkinson's, yet know deep down inside they actually have Lyme.

-You are terrified at even the thought of walking on grass.

-You have had more blood drawn than a pre and post-transplant patient.

-You have more knowledge of abx and their side-effects than your pharmacist.

You have a good day if you showered and went to work on the same day!

You have good day if you cleaned up the whole kitchen in 1 day!

Posted 7/14/2017 9:01 AM (GMT -5)
scramble to figure out what you took the day before when you have that rare day you wake up feeling good.

...you no longer think "mthfr" is an abbreviation for a special word

When Grandma's weekly pill box is not enough to carry your DAILY pills anymore...

.... and you decide to buy fishing tackle boxes to put your daily pills.

Some tackle boxes come handy with a handle, and you can carry your pills cool like James Bond with his briefcase.

YES!

I get anxiety when it gets closer to bed time, because I don't know what new weird and troubling thing is going to happen tomorrow. It always seems to be something new.

when a worse symptom makes you miss the days of a different symptom you use to get. And then you start negotiating with the lyme gods like "can you take this away and I'll settle for the other symptoms all day".
Posted 7/14/2017 10:55 PM (GMT -5)
exactly! I'll take dizzy over total fatigue any day smile

You know you have Lyme when the three main things that bother you are:

1. Poor memory

I forget the other two.
Posted 7/15/2017 5:57 AM (GMT -5)

Posted 7/15/2017 8:02 AM (GMT -5)
