Success Stories

[jkv44]

Hi All~

Does anyone have any success stories to share?

This website is great but knowing how we feel at times, a few success stories would be wonderful.

I have had a great last few days almost feel like myself. I hope you all have days like this and they continue to grow as you continue with treatment.

I have found that having supportive friends and family a huge, huge blessing during this tough time. I don't know where I would be without them.

Come on, let's bring on the success stories and touching moments to encourage all of us. Janice

Yeah guys, no offense, but I look forward to the day I can put this behind me and stop haunting these sites.  Before signing off, I'll be sure to first make lots of noise about my successful recovery.  

I do take a lot of comfort in reading and contributing here.  This is no fun at all, and I find that my misery loves company.  It helps me a lot.

I feel the same way you do.  When Lyme is getting me down, I come here because I don't feel so alone, and it helps me feel better when I can help somebody else feel better too.  This is a good group.

Hope, you mentioned feeling worse in four week cycles ... does it go with the full moon, or on a different schedule?  I'm just curious.  There's a full moon coming this Friday!  If I can establish a schedule for the critters, maybe I can time treatment against them when they are out partying.

Take care.

I'm the same way as Jackie - when I feel good - I avoid the site.  Perhaps I am avoiding, hoping my Lyme will go away if I don't talk about it:)  I know better.  

Anyway, although I have my downs, I am having more ups than three years ago.  I used to be in pain chronically, with no relief.  Now, I seem to be in four week cycles.  I'll have pain for a week, then no/little pain for 3 weeks.

My outlook is usually positive, but when I'm down, I post for a little reassurance because the people on this site are so understanding and helpful.  I do recall a post from another member stating she felt she was cured but I forget her name?  Maybe you can search "cured Lyme"?

I don't think we can say there is a cure, as of yet anyway.  But, you can most certainly have a great/long remission.

Yes, there are indeed good days and even weeks, but I find that when I feel good, I am so busy catching up on work and chores and life that I don't post much.

Glad to hear you've had some of those wonderful days recently -- wishing for all of us to have more and more of them.

Thanks for the reminder!
