   Okay, so I finally decided to join my fellow Lymies and registered to this support group. I was diagnosed with Lyme almost 3 years ago... gosh has it really been that long? My 2 kids were just diagnosed a month ago. They seem to be managing quite well, far better than myself.

   I  have had the usual lyme ups and downs with two coinfections. For sure...I am getting better, but still have days like today when life feels just too brutal.

   I was relieved to feel the positive energy from this group. I have avoided support groups in fear of only hearing about devistation. I look for hope and strength, laughter during these times that feel relentless, and perspective on my life and how lucky I really am.

   Today, I actually thought of something that only another lyme pal would understand...I was at the grocery store and i felt this odd sensation on my back side.. is it yet another wierd crawly vibratory symptom nagging me? Hmmmm, never had it there before....It seemed to be a rythmic sensation...I'll have to tell my LLMD, I thought.... Then, wait, this is too intense...Ohhhhhh, now hold on here.... my clouded memory cleared long enouph to remember that my Iphone was in my back pocket and on vibrate!!!!!!!
