It quite literally feels like I am dying, but this happens at random no matter what I do. No words can describe this. I feel alone in this because I am completely alone at home and have reached out to so many but cannot get any help. I also feel lonely even online because it's really tough to find others like myself, so that is why I am trying so hard to reach out and see what there is. So I appreciate these comments, they mean everything. Thank you all so much. I may come across as a nerdy know-it-all sometimes, but I promise I don't mean it that way. It's just who I am. I am obsessed with learning and it's one of the only things I can do to refrain from the constant thoughts that consume me.
Forest - KEEP MOVING !!!
I can't count the number of times I was on my back and my condition worsened.
When you are feeling that bad, probably the last thing you want to do is exercise,
but I am convinced that I would have been in a wheelchair if I hadn't.
Prior to my illness I was a runner at the top of his game, only to see it
gradually slip away from me. Now my running is much slower and sometimes
outright clumsy, but it definitely serves a major purpose in my overall treatment plan.
Many days I operate in "auto-pilot" mode - not thinking, but just doing.
The "Lyme Mind" condition is effective in placing perceived barriers in front of you,
but it is extremely important that you DON'T LET LYME DEFINE WHO YOU ARE.
My 2 cents worth.....
