MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is somewhere i feel safe i feel i can be myself and not be judged. I love the fact that i get to see that im not alone in what i am going through and i also get the chance to help others on their journey through guidance and communication.
I would truly be lost without MDJunction... to me its my savior, my personal place to go where i don’t feel so alone anymore in the world.

[b]I was diagnosed with Lyme in June of this year. I had actually diagnosed myself before that as odd as that may seem in May. I have been infected now for a year. I have been uphills and downhills since. I went from working full time, to not working at all and now I am currently trying to work part time.

I of course have my good days, but lately they have been less than ideal. It has gotten me significantly "bummed", and I am so not a "bummed out" person. I am not so sure that it is me, more so than it is the Lyme/Bartonella. If I had to take a wild guess, I would have to say that it is definitely the latter.

Anyway, I recently started a new protocol and I believe that I am having one heck of a die off, but I feel so horrible. How does one try to have a semi normal life?! I try to always keep positive. I recently started back to a part time job, mainly to get me out of the house, to keep in touch with the real world, and simply because I had no other choice. I just find it hard to concentrate, which is really disturbing to me.

My Lyme is more neuro and I am having a very hard time dealing with the fact that I can't keep up, or at least that is how I am currently feeling. I am not so sure that I should be working. I am struggling to get well at the moment...I am just confused and extremely downhearted, along with herxing- what a combination?!

I think I just need to share. My family and friends have no idea what this is like. I don't even know what this is like. I also feel like I am in one heck of a nightmare, and I am praying, pleading and begging to be released. Sorry for the downhill day. Like I said, I just needed to share. Thank you for being there, and I do wish everyone out there a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year...God knows we need it!!!

I fully agree with Bisja, don't feel bad for having a bad day...This is no joke and no fun....

When I'm feeling down and out like today, I try and look at the good things I do have (yes that can be hard) but I try. I read, a lot to keep my mind working right...lol

This will get better, it just takes a lot of time..

Happy Holidays

Lyme will not win, we will and we WILL…

Hey,ther right,u have nothing 2 feel bad about,I SAY IT LOUD I HATE THIS DISEASE,and ive never prayed so much in my life 4 my own health,i ask GOD every day 2 make this go away 2 give me my life back as i once new it,and im not a very holy person.But at times i have no one else 2 talk 2,God seems 2 be the only person who will listen.My friends and family think its funny,But i cant help but wonder what the hell is sooooo funny about having lymedisease?But u cant blame them because they no nothing about it,Heck the dam doctors dont even no,But cant blame them ,there only human....This is why my goal,what i want 2 take from having lymedisease is to make people aware,make them see that LYMEDISEASE is real..We all have to come together as one,we may be be different but we have one thing that will always be the same.LYMEDISEASE..
