Lovemychildren Mom - I feel bad that you are hurting. One day when he is well, he will realize what you have done for him.


How is his treatment going? Are you seeing improvement lately?

Dont take it personally, its also very hard to b sick. I feel irritable, cranky, and want to do what i want, cuz thats the only escape i have....really dont take it personally. Thats just how kids r..., and microbes make u act funky. He is likely just hurting.

Thanks for the boost... he was improving and is this week, kind of regressing even with a ton of detox :(
I'm praying we move forward in a more positive direction...

Healthy teenagers can pull at our heartstrings. I can't imagine what it must be like for one dealing with Lyme.

It's usually the mother who bears the brunt of a child's frustration. While it surely hurts to deal with a reaction such as his last night, LMC Mom, maybe you can take it as a sign of his love for you that is so deep he's unable to express it through his current challenge.

Still, dealing with it all must be so very wearing. ((hugs))

My brother just told me playing games was the only comfort he had when he was a teenager. It was just how he dealt with his problems. Now that he's an adult his anxiety has come back to haunt him and he started playing games again and it's working for him. He said he didn't really understand why but disconnecting made him feel better when his emotions become overwhelming. Like everyone else has said, try not to take it personally.

I'm so sorry Lovemychildren. I was hoping he'd continue to go uphill, but it's not always the case with Lyme, unfortunately. Were there any med changes recently that could've contributed? It's so hard for a young person to go through this and hard on parents too to go through it with them. I hope you're getting out some to take a break from it all.

My daughter is on the computer a lot, but not gaming a lot. She does it to distract herself from her headaches and other things and will do all kinds of things. She has a lot of tidbits of knowledge. I wish your son would do the same, but I know that once they get hooked on gaming, it all they want to do. My daughter is a type B personality, so that helps.

Is he willing to try any green drinks? That would help his overall health, but I know it's tough to get him to drink it if he doesn't like it. That's just teens in general!

Hang in there. ((((((((HUGS))))))))

Thanks everyone :)

Green drinks are out Garden Peace, but his diet is really good and lots of broccoli and other detoxes.

He's trying to get back in to school next quarter and maybe that is stressing him out - I think he should stay with in home instruction another quarter and avoid the stress and piles of homework - in Sept. the teachers were failing him (and he could have been top 10 in HS class)....so home is better. Less stress, more healing... but he is lonely and depressed.

That's why I do get it with the gaming, he can talk to others and is the administrator to the site, so he teaches people code and how to do things and that can provide some self worth in an environment he can control.... just hard not seeing the scout Eagle project not getting done when he has so much "free time".

More good days than bad now though, so that is progress!

That's good to hear about more good days than bad. You're doing a good job with him and it is a hard job. He will get better!

I'm so very sorry that you had to deal with that LMC Mom, but I'm so very happy to hear that there are more better days than bad days now!! That's good progress!!

Thanks ladies, Garden Peace and Traveler, you have been invaluable to me - thank you, thank you, thank you! Hope you are both having a good day - no pain!
Posted 12/19/2014 11:52 PM (GMT 0)
How about a good day even though there is pain? I'm having one of those and I'll still take it over some of the days I've just come through.

As for my part, I'm just happy that I could be of some help. You're in a tough situation.

Hope you were not out beating the poor tree in the rain and cold! That is def. not one of the better days!
