I have been crying most everyday and feeling overwhelmed at times. Panicky, paranoid, depressed. Maybe I have had too many sick days but wow! Feeling sorry for myself--poor me.

I want my old life back. And I miss looking nice, skin clear, pretty smile, moving around well. I feel like a sick old hag.

Does any one agree?

I know what you mean - I feel 20 years older.

I'm so stiff and sore that I don't do my hair as nice as I used to....hard to bring my arms up.

My face has aged a lot in the past year and a half.

Yup - sick old hag sums it up.

I want my old life back before I forget what it was like. Time is marching on.... Makes me sad.

I hear ya. I feel I have aged 20 yrs. I don't even recognize myself.
And the crying, anxiety, panic, despair… have had breakdown after breakdown after breakdown this past week. It's shocking how crazy I feel. It's a good sign the treatment is working, which helps me talk myself down off the ledge. But then I leap right back up there LOL.

This past week has also been sobering… it's like I've ben whacked right between the eyes that this is really happening to me. I've been scrambling so hard this past several months to get where I am that I am now slowing down to the cold, hard facts.

It's too much and too scary. So I have been planning what I'm going to do when I am well…AND HAVE MY LIFE BACK. that helps tremendously. I got big plans!

:( I look like a sick old hag too.. I hate looking in the mirror. I wonder if their are any supplements we could be taking that help. My skin is bad, my hair is falling out and going grey (im only 25), and I'm getting wrinkles. My father in law even said something about it... made me very self conscience. I want my life back too

This has been me pretty much everyday for the last two weeks. It's brutal.

And what stinks is that before the emotional rut hit me, I had a pretty good week!

Best of luck weathering the downs. I'll be thinking hugs for you. There is a happy improvement in store. From being depressed and hyper emotional to "ALWAYS CHEERFUL" on a report, I've seen treatment really work. You'll pull through this. Have faith. Remember the Lyme does that to your head, it is a symptom and therfore it is treatable.

    On a practical basis, you might want to try magnesium, manganese and Omega 3. Oh, and eat your veggies young lady! Drink lots of water too.

     May your Thanksgiving include a more cheerful mood for you. smilewinkgrin
