High stress in this house. Son moody, depressed, argumentative. Husband the same. The two of them at each other all the time. Husband does NOT get Lyme at all. Me, very, very stressed and feeling angry about it all (not my usual mood).

If I could leave today would be the day. Snow storm to boot, feel like I'm in the film Misery.

Just checked moon phase calendar and it's a new moon.

Wondering how everyone else is doing?

Can this year please be over?

High stress here too, Huddie. Me and my daughter.

I don't ever think to blame the moon. We're all to busy blaming each other! lol.

Thanks to you, sweet girl, I have remembered now to take my heart failure meds twice now, and am doing so much better breathing. I've not taking the opportunities to start back on my jk and milk thistle since before Christmas, and when I am particularly active I miss it, and must rely on half a pain pill. Like now.

Sigh. All in all, I think I feel pretty good, though! As long as no one pushes my buttons. hahah.

July,

I wished we lived near each other. I would stick your daughter in a room with my son and they can have a complaining competition smile

I would remind you to take your meds and herbs and we could watch a funny movie, do foot-soaks and de-stress.

We can do this. Thanks for making me feel better. Misery does love company. I'll be misery and you can be company yeah

oK! But my daughter is 35 and your son is 10. And she would want her husband along.

And at least one cat.
lol.


I am all for paired foot soaks though! What's the movie? I've been wanting to see that animated one about what pets do during the day while we're gone.

And thank you, I try to be happy so often and so quickly after falling apart many people have asked if I'm Bi-polar. But NOPE! It's just my manner to save my sanity. Otherwise, my mood would always be in the toilet with all the crap that happens.

ETA: I've been known to go from tears to laughter in a matter of moments.

My son is 14, but looks 11-12 and since Lyme treatment, acts six. She is 35, well she can pretty much keep him until he's healed. He loves cats and all animals. And we have been wanting to watch the Pets movie too.

It's a done deal.

I'm with you on being happy, or... today I'm not doing to well at happy. But the day isn't over yet.

Brain crawlies, achey-aches. New moon usually does me worse, though. Would like to take the milder response as a good sign, but I know better.

Still, hope, hope, hope, and try.

Dancing awkwardly in my room, alone, listening to hip hop, and looking at posts on a subreddit called /r/GetMotivated.

NQA,

New moons get me too.

Smiling visualizing you dancing to hip hop - fun. I love singing and dancing when no one is watching.

Have fun - hoping and trying. I agree.

Ugh, everyone is driving me crazy! I thought it was cabin fever but maybe it's my stupid bugs! I'm about ready to run away to the mountains and live with the Sasquatches.

Chick,

I'm in the mountains for the week and it's crazy here too. The bus are everywhere and they love a new moon. But you're welcome! I want to open a healing spa for lyme/chronic illness, perhaps just a crazy getaway where we all vent and dance.

A lyme version of the Marigold Hotel but younger and crazier

To a better day! turn

So THAT'S what's been going on!! Ugh. I'm at least ready to stop reacting to the moon. I was cooking dinner last night and had the creepy crawlies on my scalp, my hands were nasty and were touching food, so I grabbed a fork and used the handle to scratch my head because the creepies were headed down to my forehead. LOL! Our housemate walked by and just said, "I'm not sure if I want to ask questions or if I would rather not know! " LOL!!

Thanks for the posts! At least I'm smiling this morning!! Oh! And good news! Hubby is getting around the house much better now! He walked around for just a couple of minutes without a cane even! He's been able to let me sleep in some during the mornings for the last 4 (?) days now too. :smile:

Misery really does love company! I actually feel a little better after reading this.

ChickNorris....you made me LOL!
Trav....sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! At least you're resourceful!

I am highly agitated lately and foul-mouthed (but just in my head lol). I really need to be away from people, news, and social media right now lol Thank god for my dog...he keeps me laughing and sane.

One of my coworkers just said that whatever you are doing at midnight on NYE, you will do a lot in the upcoming year. Guess I will be sleeping and/or watching tv a lot in 2017. Sigh.

Other than that....nausea is the new norm. Hoping it's just the moon influence and it isn't going to be a long lasting symptom. Never had nausea this bad.

Trav,

LOL! Very ingenious of you. Loved the "I don't want to know" comments from your guests. They must be old and trusted friends indeed. Glad hubby is better and you have been getting sick.

We were all in foul moods yesterday and just festering off of each other. What a difference today is. Peace and happiness have been restored.

PMM,
So sorry you are nauseous. My son gets that a lot. AKG and ginger tea seem to help.

Yikes, whatever we are doing tomorrow is what we will be doing - I have heard that about the new moons. I have been cooking and cleaning ALL DAY. I don't want that to be my 2017. Will have to make sure I'm doing something 'fun' at midnight so my husband better be nice tomorrow yeah

Trav, no scratching bugs or cleaning at midnight!

pmm73, your mention of foul-mouthed struck a cord with me. My husband and I were talking about his lyme symptoms yesterday and he said he is cursing "mostly in his head." I told him I did it too and mostly out loud when no one was around.

I think the pain gets to you, the length of time being ill gets to you, the routine of meds gets to you and finally you say naughty words in your head out of frustration.

I think the moon, barometer, precipitation, too sunny, or whatever can affect lyme bugs. Heck, hot showers did me in terribly.

The treatment? Be super nice to yourself. Treat yourself as kind and loving as you would a sick baby.

Trav!

My lyme brain is at its finest today. I am NOT glad you are sick. My non-lyme self meant to write 'glad you are getting SLEEP."

Soon I will not be able to converse with anyone off this board. Who else will understand?

Peteza, I am the same and lately have been cursing out loud. Like situational Tourette's!

To the invasion of the body snatcher show being cancelled in 2017 for us all.

Ha ha ha, Huddie!! I 'read between the Lyme lines" and understood what you meant. Giggle. It made me laugh!!

Oh, boy - have I been cussing lately!! But I figured mine was due to stress levels and not being able to do much about it. Maybe I can blame that on the moon too? Even if it's been happening for the last few weeks? You all would support me in that, right?? You know, Lyme patients sticking together? Giggle! turn
Posted 12/30/2016 6:53 PM (GMT 0)
You have 100% support. We owe you big time.

I have been grouchy for several days so either new moon or too much stress/chores. I'm going with both -for everyone. Too many chores = stress for lyme patients that's for sure.

To your angelic self returning at the stroke of midnight tomorrow yeah

Woke up very depressed... Haven't felt that way in a while!

I'm just tired and completely unmotivated!
Eyes burning a lot! I don't feel like dealing with my kids, luckily they're pretty much entertaining themselves, and not fighting too much.
Posted 12/31/2016 5:02 AM (GMT 0)
achy aches and headache uptick.
Posted 12/31/2016 5:23 AM (GMT 0)
Thanks, girlie! smile
