i have a dilemma

Hmm Angel,

I'm thinking that there's a husband that comes along with this Mother-in-Law, right? Perhaps as you are not well (hate to break it to you, but you are sick!) he should be running interference for you when it comes to his mother.

You need to make your recovery your priority and not worry about what she thinks and says. She doesn't know how awful you are feeling.

So how do you want to manage the holidays and your little date with Flagyl?

Here are the options that I see:

1. You take the full dose of Flagyl your doc prescribed and spend the holidays in bed or on the couch.
2. You take a small portion of the Flagyl dose and detox like all get out and get through the holidays a bit slowed down.
3. You hold off until after Christmas to start your Flagyl and leave New Year's celebrating to the folks that aren't sick.

This is a choice you should make (taking your husband's opinion into consideration). You're not in a fix at all, you just have a decision to make! Will spending time with your family make you feel good? Or will getting on with your treatment and ignoring the holiday make you feel better?

Whatever you choose, try not to stress! It is so not good for you.

@ grace......i laughed when i read "is there a husband that comes along with this"......but i have made a decision...my husbands people dont really care if im there or not.....i have had "run ins" with most of them....and quite frankly...would rather doubledose on flagyl than "hang out" with them...lol.....so thats what im going to do....im going to take my flagyl as scheduled...suffer through the herx and i should be feeling well by christmas eve....but i have sat here and thought...."why should i go and please them when they are only going to talk about me when i leave so why not just not go and give them a reason to talk about me".....and while they are gossiping ....IM KILLING DANG BUGS...im afraid im going to be alittle more productive than them...bless their hearts....ok i have got myself truly tickled cause i got all "worked " up over nothing......MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE...lyme does have it "upside with not having to spend time with the mom in law...haha

@ grace...i know right...i rather herx than hang with them....thats a pure shame...and i was laughing hard when i was writing that and praying the whole time *i hope my husband never jumps on here and sees how i really feel*...LOLOLOL......but yeah...its gonna be a merry merry christmas!! i start my flagyl tomorrow morning....i dread it , but im ready to kill something.....
