I’m Cured. No I’m Not.

Here I was, working on a post about how I have felt like my old self for a good, solid week. No fatigue, no arthritis pain, no swollen, red hands, no mental blanks. I was so excited. I had an off day and thought it was just an off day. Then, the next day, major fatigue and swollen, painful joints.

Then, I realized something. I was on antibiotics for a bronchial infection and they were in my system for a few days making me feel great. As they wore off, the dratted Lyme related symptoms returned.

Even more annoying is the fact that my brother-in-law can’t comprehend that his sister recovered with no lasting side effects and I still have problems. He’s decided that what I have is carpal tunnel syndrome from blogging and freelance writing. Well, I can see where he’s coming from. It makes sense that all this typing is affecting my knees and ankles, as well as my hands. Aggghh!!

    Hello again, Now that I am thinking about this lyme I am very supprised that it is still as it was when I first got it. I am 55 years young now, and was 30 when I first got lyme. As typical no one could figure out what was wrong with me. I went to the faulk clinic in Pittsburg Pa. and they assured me that they would get to the bottom of this. I had a very positive response to asprin and was taking 24 tablets a day. With this the Faulk clinic congraduated me that I was cured!! They did find something in my bloodwork but were unable to isolate it. From there it was a spiral down the long road to were I am today. I went the route as all those in the messages written before me have gone. I must admit that because of this condition it has keep me from doing a lot of things that I know I would have done. And as one who does believe in God and the after life, has keep me from many situations that would have been a disaster for me not only in this life but also in the one to come.

    Donald,
    I’m sorry to hear about all the problems you’ve had, but it is good to hear that you’ve also found that it has done some good things for you. I hope the treatments for arthritis are helping with the pain.

    There are hundreds of people in your position, because the medical establishment
    has completely failed to correctly diagnose Lyme disease.
    I am one of them, but in my fight for justice I am one of the people joining a new web site to find answers to their unexplained illnesses.
    the web site is called dailystrength.org.
    To join the site is completely free and anonymous.
    I can be found by joining the Lyme disease section.
    my user name is Ponder43.

    I hope you read this and believe what I am telling you….. OK?

    Regards

    David
