Kind words anyone? Deeply affected by husband's tirade

Dear Oulie,

I have family members who say hurtful things to me also. Sounds like you have the right attitude to bounce back from something like that. Depression is in my genes and after lyme disease took hold I've been on antidepressants ever since. Was diagnosed in 2002 and started treatment in 2004 when found a LLD. My sister (an angry individual) beat me up at the end of 2004 and this halted my treatment, deteriorated my mental health, and took a toll on my husand and four kids. I'm now 50 years old, 215 lbs., and still battling the ravages of Lyme and several other bacteria. I've found another LLD and my health gradually improves. Seems like a lot of people like us have found acupressure/acupuncture to be helpful and my niece has graduated in the field so I'm going to try that. Maybe it could help you. So many people are on herbs and vitamins but my health insurance doesn't cover them. Wish I knew a few main ones to take. Very little support system and as my husband says "Where did my intelligent wife go to?" He tries though to be a good guy. I think your husband needs to read the posts above, and maybe if you printed out the "letter from a dad" and the other recommended sites he'd read. He's got to get educated a little bit about disease or his attitude won't change. May God bless you and soften the hearts of those around you.
Lots of love from Laurie in Louisiana

Oh yes, welcome lsusan, welcome!

Thanks for the kind and generous sentiment. You will find lots of advice on which herbal remedies to take here, no problem there. I mean there are many knowledgeable on that here. I have seen it written a few times that if you want a good regimen, go to Stephen Harrod Buhner's site and follow his protocol. But that's a bit on the costly side. I have also seen it written that if you wanted to start with a regimen of only two items, those should be Japanese knotweed and cat's claw extracts, and of course you should be detoxing as well. Ask about these things and others on the forum if you feel like it.

Thanks for recommending acupressure/acupuncture and the letter from a dad. Blessings
