It's been awhile since I posted and I'm feeling a bit guilty but I made an intentional effort to distance myself from anything Lyme related since it was consuming my thoughts and that meant taking a break from here. I feel bad because everybody here was so helpful and I never stuck around to return the favor to any newcomers but I just had to think as positively as I could because thinking good thoughts is always good medicine. For whatever reason I have not had any symptoms or problems since June. I feel guilty in a way since so many folks aren't so lucky. Of course I'm well aware that none of us who have the diagnosis is ever out of the woods so I'm not celebrating an uncertain future. I just want everyone to know how appreciative I am for all the love, support and information you gave me. Everyone here is amazing, especially those who have been here a long time. I still don't like to think about my Lyme and I'm not sure how often I'll log in but for now, I love you folks and thanks again.

Astronomer,

I am glad you found help here. I love everyone here, too. It’s a wonderful place to be if you have Lyme. That’s awesome that haven’t had symptoms since June. I pray that you will continue to remain symptom free and enjoy a normal life. God bless!!!

Astronomer, I was dx'd in 2014. I was treated for six mos. and similarly moved on not wanting to be consumed by illness or disease. I thought this was a one and done, and had my doubts "is this really Lyme?"

Lo and behold I had a recurrence in May and am having a really difficult time. I discovered healingwell in August/September and have been posting here since.

I'd be lost if it weren't for this little online community. But I also understand wanting to live a life free of thoughts concerning disease or illness.

I hope you continue to thrive and be well. Don't feel guilty bc of it, this your journey and you have to live it for worse or better, hopefully for better. Cheers!

Good news. I can see how if someone is 100% feeling better, getting on with ones life is the normal thing to do.

Instead of consuming thoughts, I think of it as learning, but yes, there are times I dont want to look here. Mostly do to some increasing negativity the last year- which comes and goes as time goes on.

But It all depends how you perceive what is here. Filtering is not that easy since its all here before your eyes. Many varieties of posts here.

There is much learning beyond what conventional medicine knows , not just lyme, but the affected body systems. I may never stop learning this but can always change methods or media tools.
