Such a lonely disease

I haven't posted much since I've joined this site a year ago but I'm at a pretty low point and don't have anywhere else to go. My first six months in treatment seemed to be producing slow but positive results and the second six months have been more downhill than anything.

Tonight I am feeling particularly low and I really don't have any friends or relatives who seem to truly understand. My husband's answer to my "low" days is to ignore me. (On a side note, I really think he doesn't know what to say and thinks that leaving me alone is best but I really just need at least one person to care.)

I have 4 young children and a full time job that I can't leave due to income and this all just feels so overwhelming right now. Most days I push through and do the best I can but I have really been struggling the past 6 weeks or so.

I don't normally post my problems for the world to see, especially since I realize my symptoms aren't as bad as so many of you out there. I just really needed to connect tonight to somebody who has some understanding of what I am going through.

Thanks for listening and I hope you all have a good night!

If you are holding onto a job that's a good sign. Let alone be available for 4 children. I commend you. I couldn't do it right now!

What a warrior. I admire you. I'm totally envious of your strength.

I feel the same way Cleonova

Its tough to get through the days for me since I'm still trying to get the meds (hard to do in Canada). The unknown is very scary for me as well. Friends and family try to support but they really don't get it

I am also thankful for this forum. Let's try to keep our spirits up and hope for healthier days in the future.

Same here, and it's round 2 for me! It's still a very lonely disease!

Some things to consider:
Are you detoxing lots?
Do you have the gene mutations that make it hard to detox?
Do you have co-infections that need to be addressed?
Do you have other conditions (adrenal, thyroid, intestinal, etc) that need to be addressed before you can heal?

Hang in there and please do feel free to come here and vent - we all it from time to time!! Just to connect with those that truly understand can be priceless.

Just wanted to add my support - most of my friends have drifted away and don't understand what I'm going thru, and so you do end up feeling very alone. And you don't want to worry your family, so yes, you end up putting on a brave face & not going on about every little symptom . . . but it's hard having no one to really offload onto :-(. So I completely understand - but the people here on the forum DO understand what you're going thru, so you can post any worries, questions, rants or whatever you feel you need to get off your chest . . . plus it is a great place to just come for a big old cyber hug when you need one! . And, by the way, as others have said, you are doing an amazing job to be working full time and taking care of 4 children too, so give yourself a huge pat on the back for that! Hope you still have time to take care of yourself though ;-). Sending love & support, take care xxx
