Ways this board has helped me

I was thinking last night about how much the people on this board have helped me. Just the few examples that I can remember are things like

Helping me remember that I'm not crazy and I'm not alone.

The sauna, I had no idea about this before you guys told me

Taking Magnesium and knowing the right kind.

Start slow on the Teasel

Epsom salts baths

dry brushing

lemon in water

I know there are other supplements that I just can't remember now

Reminding me to be gentle with myself

People have guided me to resources that have helped me better understand this condition. I've found that it's very supportive and accepting. I think that's really important with Lyme as you can get to feeling isolated.

I just wanted to say thanks for this forum being here

Ditto. I appreciate not being criticized for my choice of using alternatives. I've had that a lot in other places. I very much appreciate everyone sharing what they have tried, whether it worked or not.

I'm just so happy to have this community. We find ourselves with a condition that is not understood by the general population or most doctors. We've all struggled for help and to be heard. This is a great place to feel validated and realize you're not alone. Your not crazy and you can get better.

This board was truly a lifesaver for me. Suffering terribly and not wanting to burden anyone w my tales of woe, I felt I had nowhere left to turn. I found this board before i was diagnosed and it helped lead to my diagnosis. It has helped me come a long long way to feeling better and was there for me too during my husbands battle to get diagnosed and treatment.

I thank everyone who has helped me, encouraged healing and hung together with me.
