So just when I thought I was having what I would say a good week as in not really any aches or having trouble getting out of bed in the morning no real light sensitivities or headaches even able to stay up later than normal and not crash (did not on purpose had to do so much before bed) but I guess that was a tease for today.. this week on Monday I found out after months and thousands of dollars on testing my cat has lymphoma and his treatment is going to cost 400 a month then we had the election and my boyfriend acting like a part of his family died based on the results.. i diidjt vote for the dude either but I'm not crying over it. Then he was off yesterday and is today and got into hard core arguments about the results beer he had been hiding and lying to me like I was so angry never been that angry in my life like did not feel any love for him and he reciprocated :/ today I have the headache from hell.. I have Lyme and Bart so combo? But again it's forehead temples top of my head eye balls back of head, base of neck can't even look down shoulders Ibuprrofen isn't touching it .. could this be related?

Been on the same antibiotics for almost two weeks the rifambutin caused my period to start slightly on Monday when with my bc it would have normally thurs so it's that time of the month (no I'm not sexually active right now told him sorry lol) could that make it worse?

My coworkers say it is not the lyme and bart but completely unrelated....

Saoz,

So sorry your week took a turn for the worst. No offense, but how would your co-workers know?

I think it is a trifecta of stress: Period, boyfriend, cat being ill = stress = more symptoms.

Wise Trav, explained this to me last weekend when I took a turn for the worse but didn't do anything differently. She explained how upset I was over my son. Makes perfect sense.

So sorry about your cat. Cuddle up with cat and go to sleep early tonight. Ignore boyfriend until his pity party ends. Don't even argue - it isn't worth it. Period will be over soon. Take Advil and do a caster oil/heating pad treatment. Feel better!

It's definitely the stress snowball effect.

I warn everyone about that because that's my biggest hold back from getting well.

I don't know how to advise you to try to minimize it, but somehow you need to put a safe zone around yourself. I'm really sorry about your furbaby. That sux. I love some of my cats like children and it would break my heart because I don't have that kind of money.

But back to you. The reason you have to try to get whatever stress you can to leave you alone is because it's affecting your immune function.

You have something called adrenal glands in you that not only supply hormones to every organ in your body to run smoothly, they supply that 'fight or flight' reaction when life issues run high. They release something called cortisol. Pretty soon cortisol runs low and your ability to fight the infections drops. Even your ability to function normally stops.

Unfortunately I go through this over and over because of situations in my life. I spend a lot of time in my own room with the door closed. In my own home.

And the headaches are the worst.

There are several things you can incorporate into a routine that will help detox and de-stress you.

Coming to our group here is a great way to get a lot of it off your chest and heart! It's what we're here for!
