    Friday, July 11, 2008 | A Rambling story

    It's been tooooooo long since I wrote, Ive been slackin! well let's see... I have been introduced to Herxing first hand and I dont much like it.

  • OMG!

    Tuesday, September 9, 2008 | A Rambling story

    You WILL NOT believe what I just did. So, I am in Dallas and been running around crazy all day. I am now at The Four Seasons (VERY nice). Well, I had something I needed to do for one of our senior executives so I logged into my desk top and began working. I kept looking at the clock and knew I needed to meet people in the lobby at 6:45 pm. It was after 6:00 when I finished so I rushed like a craz...

  • "When something dies...

    Sunday, November 16, 2008 | A Rambling story

    something new is born."
    I was just thinking back to the beginning of our IF journey and all the changes that have occured along the way. I don't mean just changes around me, I mean the changes in me and in DF. 
    Each cycle I start out feeling one way and after each cycle fails I feel another. And every cycle is different from the one before.
    I don't yet fully have the words to expl...

  • 50th birthday

    Friday, January 30, 2009 | A Rambling story

    50 years old tomorrow. Wow. I don't know how I got to be this old, but here I am. This is not what I thought 50 would look like. For one thing, I really thought that by the time I got to be 50 years old I would have a lot more of life figured out. All I have figured out is that I don't know much of anything. I have learned a lot along the way, but life isn't any easier or clearer to m...

  • Tired

    Sunday, March 1, 2009 | A Rambling story

    I feel like if I have to lie on the couch one more stinking day I am going to go out of my head.
    I am not having a positive attitude. This clearly looks like a negative attitude.
    I am starting to not care anymore. If I get well, if I don't -- whatever.
    My bathroom floor has a layer of cat hair on it, and I don't care. Two spiders have set up housekeeping in one corner. I am starting to have ...

  • Watching is Painful

    Thursday, March 12, 2009 | A Rambling story

    I've made good friends at this forum, and have enjoyed their support when it was sorely needed. It seems nobody is exempt from Lyme induced  anxiety.
    To be honest, I feel guilty when I whine. (Is that a whine? I hope not.) :-) There is guilt because I don't hurt near as much as most of my buddies. I just wish I could do something meaningful to help them. If I just knew why I don't...

  • As another day passes by.....

    Wednesday, October 14, 2009 | A Rambling story

    I am hopeful that whatever is trying to help, this new med, my own stubborness, or what have you, wont desert me when I stop taking them....I really want to get better, and if this is a false hope, I will be so dissapointed....I can actually sit today without those damned shocks going all the way up into my head. I get a pin prick here, a little shock there, but nothing but a lesser pain today al...

  • Wobble, Wobble, everywhere!

    Friday, November 6, 2009 | A Rambling story

    Got to keep on my feet, got to keep on my feet, kept going through my head for two days straight!
    Keeps feeling like something is breaking my arm bones and leg bones on right side! It is really getting bad, and I keep thinking that the bones are really breaking when this happens! A little dizzyness from ear infection? coming back on and off but what the heck, nothing new there. Got new glasses, bu...
