Hi everyone,

I havent been on in weeks.I just came back on today.

I am feeling very lonely here at this forum.It started out fine in the beginning with support but now I feel no one ever wants to talk.

Yes I do feel lonely lots anyway but this is for sure accurate.

all who talked before are not talking much anymore.

I feel I have no support besides doc who i overwhelm when I see him every month.

Please help

Lilly

Hi, I'm so sorry u r feeling lonely. I can so relate to how ur feeling.

Lymes is such a lonely illness to have that others who don't have will never

Understand. We don't receive the love, support, & understanding as we would have

With another illness. I have been waiting for anyone to post on my first discussion

& am feeling lonely from no response so I'm too feeling as u r. Even with my

Husband & kids who support me, it doesn't fill the void fully. My kids r 7 & 4 so I don't expect them to fully understand

They r a blessing to me & r helpful.

If u wish to chat I'm here. Thinking of u

I just popped on-line- have been at swim meets all weekend with my kids.

I'm really sorry that you feel lonely- and on this forum- because there usually so many people on- to respond to posts. It may be harder on the weekends- because of family obligations (I know it is for me).

Lilly,Makal, Dukedog...and anyone...feel free to PM me any time to talk, vent...I really do understand how difficult and isolating this illness can be.

Hugs,

Jackie

Please don't feel that way...WE all like to talk to the one that posts but you have to understand sometimes one is to sick to post a long email back. I charish the ones I get, long or short.

Everyone here cares about you...Never feel alone on MD...Weekends are harder as people are doing the "Weekend thing, like cleaning, resting, etc"..more busy on MD during the week.

Hey girl!Wink Smile Lilly, I am around..not all the time. but do try to check my PM's offten...PM me any time.

Did you try the chicken soup? I make? I made a new one the othr day...lemon chicken soup! it's greek...came out good...I put what I was allowed to ...in it..

Let me know, I'll pass that one on to you..there is a trick with the eggs(protein) and the lemon(3lemons)..

I wonder if you or anyone here have a favorite dish that can be Lyme friendly????

wlk--Cool

Anything I post or respond to comes from a Lyme and Bart victim himself. I am NOT a doctor. I do my own research for ME...I may share my findings and will post them. They are for general talk and vent...If a group leader feels the info is worth saving somewhere, they are more than welcome to do with it as they like. Wlk=)

Lilly, I kind of know what you are talking about. When I first came on the forum I felt like there were people responding to me. Then I felt like it slacked off.

Then it picked up again. You have more guts than I do and have at least been honest about it! Just make the effort to keep reaching out and being honest like this.

And you can PM me anytime you need to! Have missed seeing your posts!

Big hug!

I wish I had solutions for everybody here who is suffering, but I am still hunting for them myself and seem to be more of a student on this board than a teacher. All I have to offer is my experience, support, and prayers based on what I have learned in my recovery. I am not a physician.
