Feel poopity scoopity

I definitely feel bummed out too. I got it while I was in 10th grade and it is weird looking back and seeing how much it has changed me. All of the fatigue, insomnia, lingering pain and a plethora of other symptoms dictate what I do on a daily basis. I used to be on a football team going through brutal drills, but now find that simply getting up out of bed now is harder than most of what I went through in football and what I did in martial arts. As you said, it is hard having this terrible state of health be our new normal.

Even though that living with these things on my mind 24/7 is difficult, the idea that one day I might be able to do all of the things that I once did and be a stronger person in the end having gone through this experience is what keeps me going. I am a new member to the forum, but have been reading many pages since I got the disease. I was very lost in the mess of this whole thing didn't understand how to deal with this beast. Many of your posts and others from all of the members here have helped me get better and keep a little bit of sanity knowing I'm not alone. Thank you LymePickle for all of your posts and never give up the fight!

Girlie... I am learning about the difference between what lyme symptoms are, what a herx is, and what is a feeling of antibiotic damage. Trust me, I still have lyme. I would say it is 90% better OVERALL. I also probably eradicated a good 95-99% of the germs. It is still there I am certain of it... That is why I am feeling bummed out right now. Also, my Bartonella had been almost completely symptomatic recently. I continue with the herbs for bart. I have changed my protocol to come to a compromise with me having few symptoms and almost rid of the infection. I am now pulsing the ABX every second day. This feels much better overall for me now. And I get a big reduction in lyme symptoms, followed by a herx, followed by a period of few symptoms, and then the symptoms creep back until my next pulse. So I know you mentioned it could be nerve damage trying to heal or muscles healing? But nope, in my experience they are lyme symptoms. Damage and infection are tough to distinguish for sure in lyme but i believe I can tell the difference.

So happyjo... Your spouse has it now too? See as a single guy, I am probably just going to stay single for the rest of my life. I don't want to infect anyone.

I think I've had Lyme for so long now the poopity scooping is gone, I'm just happy that I feel a helluva lot better now then I did a year ago. But this evening I started feeling like crap, haven't had ANX since I think 10/17 so maybe they came out from hiding and making me feel bad but it tolerable. Tomorrow I'm to start my $93 Coertum but I haven't purchased it yet and not sure if I will. Now that is making me feel poopity scoopity, spending that for 5 days of treatment.
