EMFs

I have lived here in the woods for 27 years and never had a problem with lyme UNTIL I was bit by a tick. I don't buy it that I had lyme in me and that it was electromagnetic frequencies that made it come to the forefront. Or the 2 amalgam fillings in my teeth that I have had since I was 15.

I believe that I got lyme from a tick.

Now, I will tell you that I also believe that stressful situations definitely bring on the lyme symptoms hard and heavy. For me, I also found that a very hot shower sure got the bugs a moving, to the point where I got light headed and nauseous.

Here is why I feel that electromagnetic frequencies are not valid for ME. When I go to our huge metropolis and shop in Costco and Whole Foods, those 2 stores are built right under huge electrical lines. You know the kind of monster looking metal structures where the lines hummm on them? And, here I am inside Costco (where every tv, cellphone, and vacuum demonstration is going on) and Whole Foods under all those florescent lights and I don't feel ill or affected.

Now maybe this is just me and others will chime in. But I don't go crazy over this. I do turn off things in my house if I am not using them but I still have an electric clock by my headboard.

It would be nice if I could get rid of all symptoms but I don't believe living in a bubble is the answer. I think if I were totally isolated I would still have lyme symptoms. I just don't think it goes away like that. I wish it did.....

Oh Carla, you have been through the ringer. I am so sorry. Time to take care of yourself and pampering is a requirement!

I had to learn to be super nice to myself and keep myself stress free. I had to learn to be patient - super hard for me. I had to learn to let some things go. It was okay to put a dish in the sink and not the dishwasher if I felt really ill. I had to learn to say "no" to invitations or to those asking me to help and volunteer. I had to protect ME and help me get well.

This article was given to me by Traveler when I first arrived. Gosh was it helpful and now I pass it on to you.

I have problems with the stress...when my body is hot and on fire and I can't sleep at all or I feel like there is a band around my belly....or something is going on with me head...it is hard to keep the stress down.....or my heart is beating really fast....


btw...what do all of you eat....

@Peteza-VERY well said. I know it wad meant for Carla, but theyre very encouraging words that I NEEDED to hear, also...so THANKS!

@ Carla-"what do we eat"? HA-good question as I seem to be intolerany TO EVERYTHING, AND i agree with you about this disease destroying every major body symptom and/or organ....SO DANG frustrating to the point that it can make you 'lose it'...but IF we 'lose it', then the disease wins!

Lets fight this!!!

k07 - I have been having very serious dental issues since I started my lyme treatment.

Peteza - Well said, your view from a step back has a lot more in the picture that I think you may be overlooking carla :)

Also, I just wanted to point out that as per EMF fields and lyme. I work with industrial power generators which induce extremely large magnetic fields, and oscillate quite rapidly at that. Even with my increased exposure to this equipment, I have never felt that it has causes a reaction to directly occur for me. However, you may be losing sight of what your doing on the EMF equipment.

For example reading about some stressful news story may trigger something in you that may cause symptoms to worsen, and you may be blaming it on the monitor you're reading it on. Also, I agree with Peteza, you need to forgive yourself and let the past be just that, the past. Learning from it is all that can be done with it now, so don't get stuck there once you have learned your lesson! Come back to present where everyone else is and learn new ways to get better :)
