Just want to ask everyone to think, what you would do for one weekend, where you felt like you did before Lyme?

Me? There's only one answer...

Spend it with my husband, children and grandchildren being out side playing - ball, in the garden, in the pool, riding bikes or walking, no, running around. Playing tag, hide n seek. Catching lighting bugs.

All the things I've been missing out on since I got this rotten ole' Lyme.

Oh, and sitting on a blanket with the family out in the sun. 

These are the places I go and things I do when I close my eyes.

Have a great weekend everyone. <3

Ha! Love the thought of this. I would go horseback riding, rub MY HUSBAND'S feet and back for rubbing mine every day and me being too sick and sore to reciprocate, go to the zoo, take my dogs for a walk...oh gosh so many things

Well, I am about 99.8% free of Lyme, so this weekend is looking pretty good!

Gardening, finish a wood-working project and cook a big Sunday dinner for my family; that's the plan.

Not too long ago this all would have been impossible.

Keep your eyes on the prize!

i would go on an all day bike ride with scheduled stops for lunch and an early dinner, come home and have a soothing hot bath and shower still have enough energy to take in a movie with friends

Personally, I've been ill for my entire adult life, so I don't have any idea what I'd be doing without having had these infections - but I do know the kinds of things I'm doing now, and have plans to do!!! turn This weekend, I have my daughter up, will be working with my goats, and playing with my pups, and helping to add on to our barn!! Sounds like one of the better weekends to me!! smilewinkgrin

One thing I would suggest - Go into a weekend as if you didn't have Lyme even if you do. It's tough but I try that a LOT - pretending I am well and doing things anyway! It's good therapy and it starts to retrain our bodies and psyches to be well...it will slowly, sometimes excruciatingly so, begin to convince your being that it is getting better....baby steps first, then slowly expand the envelope, then, before you know it, you'll be saying, "Wow, I feel better!"

I try to do that but after working all week it's tough.

I found a lot more peace when I made up my mind to enjoy doing what I could do and not worry myself thinking about what I used to do or wished I could do.

Exactly, AG, that was my point. A LOT of this stuff is sub-conscious self-limiting feelings I truly believe. Granted, the physical/neuro aspects of Lyme are NO picnic but, we sufferers need not only adress the physical but it is extremely important to change the "victim, why me?" mindset! Very easy to say but sometimes very tough to put into practice.
