How do you all get rid of the fear?
Every minute when I breathe I know I have something bad in there
cannot really forget about it as people say
Thanks, G : :

Hi, I can only tell you that in my own experience the fear did subside after about 4 months of treatment.

It understand that it is a terrible, unsettling sympton. In Stephen Buhner's book "healing Lyme" I belive there are some suggestions for herbals to take for this. I would list them but i am away from home at this time.

Keep treating and looking forward to healing, when the fear comes try to keep busy doing something or redirecting your thoughts to more positive things . tell yourself this will pass, I will get better.

If your able move around, keep busy with a task, it all can help sometime.

I am sorry you are having this symptom, hang in there, I wish you the best of healing, Jo

It takes mental gymnastics. I do the following things:

1. I often lie to myself about it, it pushes dark thoughts to the back of the mind. Like telling myself everything is going to end up okay, when I clearly don't know it will (but it could).

2. Try to find the silver lining to things

3. have trust in treatment. Continuing to research to feel like I'm doing something about

4. even if some things are getting worse other things improved, so give equal thought to the improvements because those are just as real as the things getting worse

5. make sure to get up and get out in to the world, keeps the mind busy.

All these things help me get over the fear of having lyme and co and to not give up and quit life. #1 and #3 is huge. I do number one like every 3 hours.

thank you dacarte 3 and goshawk
The problem is I really have no treatment right now- we go to LaserLyme which it takes a lot for me to believe in have been to tons of infe3ctious disease docs waste of time and money
now I am worse
I have a hard time going anywhere because of my breathing
I know I sound negative
but I am really scared my lungs will totally close up.
I can feel the infection
and it prevents me from doing much.
Like today
I would love to go see my 2 grandchildren but I cannot
so I cry
My immune sysyem is totally screwed up
thanks, G

This is what helped me with fear and I was so blessed when someone told me this:

F – False
E – Evidence
A – Appearing
R – Real
