Moment of self-pity - ugh

I know I need to be patient and that I need to be grateful for not being sicker than I am but am having a big poor me moment. Just tired of the pain this week, verrrry tired of all the medicine and just wishing that after 8 months I had made more progress. Home crashed on the couch - work week just wipes me out. Want to be able to do more than work and rest, work and rest.

Thanks for listening and know plenty of people here probably wish for the same thing.

Hang in there!! It does get old in a hurry, doesn't it? But we are worth the effort!! Keep up the good work!! That fact that you can continue to work is a big deal!!

We all get sick and tired of being sick and tired 24/7. All of the pills, or herbs, or tinctures or whatevers that we all have to take can wear on anyone's nerves! At last count I was up to 85 pills/caps/tabs that I take daily and honestly, it's a struggle some days to force myself to continue on with all of that!!

But the alternative just isn't even something we should consider , so we keep on plodding along, one foot in front of the other, one day at a time & all of that! LOL!

Keep your eye on the prize!! Having your life back is all worth it in the end! Look for those small improvements and celebrate them as if you just won the lottery!! LOL!!

I do have to add in - be sure you are detoxing so that your body doesn't have to overcome those toxins without any help!! That'll only slow your healing.

Thanks Kmor, traveler & tickle.

I know I have a ton to be grateful for when I see the level of illness of many other folks. I am grateful to be able to work but so wish I could cut back on hours. I often feel if I could work a bit less, I might actually get enough rest to heal. The Lyme meds, diet & doc appts feel often like a second job. Unfortunately - my health insurance comes from my full time job so round & round it goes.

Never really sure if I am detoxing enough. Detoxing always seems a bit mysterious to me. (Do a bath 3 xs a week and sometimes detox tea, always water. Also eat a very clean diet including as much organic as I can manage to afford so as to not add more toxins.)
