      hope i didn't scare you..didn't mean to do that..i have been symptom free for YEARS...so aim for that ..the right dr, the right meds...you will see improvement and this may become way in your distant past like it did for me...the best news truly is groups like this that give so much information from such caring people who have walked the path and can help us not make the same mistakes...celebrating your good day ...and i know there will be more of those than the bad ones now that you are on the path you are on...forgive me if i upset you in any way...xxoo

    • Celebration

      From fultonj January 20

      so glad to read that finally a good day...that is such a thing to celebrate...we treasure them when they happen...for me too ...finally some light ...i was dx in 1997 and went into remission in 2000 when my dr. found co-infections and treated me w/ mepron and antibiotics...i had a relapse (didn't know that could happen) but in my case, stress (taking care of my mom for 3 1/2 years and her death in October)...brought some symptoms back...nothing that i couldn't live with until i started taking steroids ...and WHAM! all those old memories of the days of lymes were back...i finally connected the dots with my husband , went to NY for treatment ...since here in AL. the drs. will say "we don't have lyme's in Alabama..."...HUH?! even if they want to insist that we don't the drs i was seeing said, forget abt trying to find somebody..go back to NY for treatment...which i did...and only one week later ...am feeling that i am at the end of a 4 month horror. ...So...let's celebrate the good days..and thank God for His prescence in our lives..good and bad days He is there....
