So I'm totally, completely unable to keep up my end of the work, house duties and child rearing. The house is a disaster, the kids a running a muck and it's all I can do to pull it together for 30 minutes at a time to cook.

I'm totally depressed right now. It's the exact same time of the year that I was this bad last year. Does the summer have anything to do with the severity of symptoms?

Jingles - so sorry - I don't know if it helps to tell you that my house was such a mess and I didn't even have little ones around to look after.

I'm much better now...but it still isn't as tidy as it was pre-lyme...I feel like moving and leaving it all behind.
Now, I'm faced with doing everything I let slide - even though I'm quite a bit better now...it's a huge job to catch up on what I let go for a couple of years.


Some of us do worse in hot weather. I do better in the summer...worse in the winter.

Are you able to rest part way through the day?

Not really. I'm either working or chasing kids or running a farm.... sigh. I'm resting at the moment. No choice in the matter.

And that does make me feel a bit better. Thank you

So sorry! I find I'm more sensitive to heat than I used to be, but I also feel AMAZING after a good sweat.

Are your kids old enough to help out a bit more? I know that comes with a healthy dose of Mommy Guilt, but it's honestly not the worst thing in the world for them. During one of my rounds of hefty treatment, my youngest was 3 and we snuggled a lot in my bed and watched movies. He'd watch and I'd sleep. I know not all 3 year olds are that cooperative though, lol. Anyway - cut yourself some slack right about now. You need to.
