 if you heard me speak on my bad days

you would def. know something is wrong with me.

so utterly embarassing and heartbreaking for me

scary too

I went to the bank, to discuss something and it was so diifuclt to speak and explain

find the words

so then I talked to someone on phone re: storage

and it was the hardest conversation ever, feel like crazy, so hard to talk

and now the realtor is coming soon

great

my brain is so fried,  I am just going to do my best

and then try to take a nap

I dont know how I am going to get through this

my body is breaking down so much

but I Have to do this part first, or I will be in toruble money wise, legally so i got to do this, I wont be able to take care of myself much longer, unless I get through this hell,

I pray my body can go through this move and all

god help me, ....  and god help us all

these are trying times

Yes they are trying times indeed but that symptom will go away with treatment. Are you detoxing? as brain fog can be caused by the toxins the bacteria let off.

Make sure you time down time to relax and do deep breathing exercises. It clears the mind.

Hope you feel better.

Hope2B,
Hang in there. You are under a lot of stress again right now. Rest all you can, every time you can.

As I've told you before, I lost the ability to communicate as well, and yes, it's very scary, but it's not the end of the world. Don't panic it

only makes it worse. Take a deep breath when it happens and realize that most people won't mind taking some extra time to get

through whatever you are trying to do. I know when I was going through that, I discovered that most people were quite kind to me

because of my health conditions - even if they didn't know anything about Lyme.

Take as much time as you dare to get through these changes. It'll make it a bit easier. Be sure to drink plenty of water and eat well

and healthy. Don't skimp on the quality of food, stay away from the highly processed stuff and eat as little processed things as you

can. It's a big part of your treatment.

I used to get so completely frustrated with myself because I could never find the word I needed, or couldn't form a sentence that

made any sense even to me that I would be in tears most of the time. I finally quit trying to talk to people, except when I absolutely

had to. Even then it was always painful for not only me, but that
poor person that was trying desperately to understand me.

Here's something that you need to remember - just yesterday, I was noticing - and got all excited - that what you were posting on

the forum was clearer than before!! So please remember, that when you are rested, you have already started to show some

improvements!

Remember - I'm thinking of you and sending many (((((hugs))))) and special thoughts and prayers to you tonight and every day!

Hang in there!

Dear hope, I too have lyme, and had to move on top of it. I say take it slow I still have boxes that need to be unpacked I will get to it when I can. I think you are being hard on yourself, lyme is horrible. Sometimes people just look at me when I can't figure out what to say, I just tell them I need a minute, so hang in there. I don't think we are going to be cured over night, it's going to be a long hard process, but we all are here for you, because we need the same thing you do , understanding of this horrible disease.

Hope, honey! Hang in there.

I also had trouble talking when I was very ill..trouble thinking and putting concepts together.

It will pass! It is not fun. Remember these are common symptoms and you can get better and well with good treatment.

Like Trav and other say....do the detox, rest, drink lots of good water.

Do stay away from processed foods, sugar and likely wheat. If you are not already gluten free, I would highly suggest it. I have had all kinds of weird neuro stuff with wheat. Even if you are not sure if you are sensitive..try it anyway.

Hugs!!!

Hi hope2b,

Please relax and know it's okay...  It's all part of this disease and it does get better!

I don't know what protocol you are on but I am going to suggest that it's possible that ammonia in your brain could be causing some of your problems.  Ammonia is a die-off from lyme bacteria and can play real havoc on your body, brain, etc.

I know plenty of people who were taking abx and also took Dr. Jernigan's CNS/PNS Neuro-Antitox Formula at the same time but it's a good idea to check with your doctor.  I think there's one abx that one should not take this botanical with (I think perhaps Flagyl?).  I would have to research it.

Anyway, what this does is bind up all that ammonia and other toxins so your body can get rid of it.

If you want to know more, please e-mail me, okay?

Hang in there and lots of good thoughts to you,

Denise
