MDJunction to me

"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

Amy~ a book you might be interested in,...anyone would be interested in reading this , it has changed how I look at everything...I just read it this weekend, it's by Bette Eadie, called "Embraced by the light" it's about her near death experience. Totally amazing. I can't even begin to go into it, but I think you'll like it, and it will help with the way we see this. You are most definitly not alone.

Jaime,

That is so interesting that you mention this book and story. I meditate and lately all the themes lead to death, afterlife, reincarnation, past lives, and lots of bright light! Actually 10 years ago I was backpacking through Egypt and Israel for 6 months. During the course of a month I started to feel this energy field around me. It got stronger each day. I thought it was because I was in holy lands and amongst many ancient sites. By the end of a month it was so strong around me I was playing with it with my hands. Now I know this sounds totally crazy!!!! But, I went out on a motorcycle ride with a friend in Egypt soon after that day, of course no helmet or appropraite clothing. Suddenly my friend got spooked by a pick up truck coming toward us and he veered off the road and went over a sand dune. He jumped off, I remember staying on the bike and flying through the air thinking holy crap. People who saw say I flew three car lengths. Well, me and the bike landed, the bike on top of me. I opened my eyes, looking through the rims of the front wheel and immediately thought, "I don't feel the energy anymore." I walked away with a few scrapes and bruises. I was protected. I figure the universe somehow new I needed that energy field to protect me from harm. I landed on my head and yet I still walked away!!

YES, I believe in angels and meaning in all. However, it is easy to forget and get stuck in the evryday world of realities. We all have destinies and meaning to our lives. You are doing something so great by helping and aiding all of us through this crazy lyme maze.

So, thank you for the book suggestion, I already went on amazon to order it.

Take Care!!!!

AMY

Please, don't ever feel bad about being sick at work.

Your co-workers are healthy and you are ill. I would hope that there is some compassion for you.

When people think that you are lying, keep fighting this disease. Only you can feel the debilitating symptoms, I believe you.

Sometimes, I get lonely and sad. Your around family that doesn't understand. I log into this forum and the empowerment returns, the sadness goes away.

We are all here, fighting the same disease, together.

That means, no more lonliness, no more spending your energy trying to explain what this disease feels like.

We will help you, if you fall. It's okay to ask for help, here, you will recieve it, everytime.

Take care,

Leslie

Good Job!! I admire that you are taking control of your life. Not that antibiotics are wrong, but, how long must we be on them and do they work after long term treatment?

I actually stopped my Bicillin injections, after 7 months of twice weekly shot in my behind.

I wanted to see if they work. The only way that I will be able to tell, is by stopping them. However, I will begin them again, if I find that they were working.

Tell me more about the Chinese herbs that you are taking.

Amy, we are always here for you, keep me up to date!

Take care,

Leslie

Amy,

Please hang in there. It is all about ruling things out or in. I know that the fears sets in so quickly, just get checked out and hopefully you will find out good news.

I had an irregular heart beat 2x. I took atenenol for a couple months and my heart was normal. That was 2 years ago. I just had another ER visit because my heart was going nuts. I had it checked out and it is back to normal.

Be sure to see your doc. My prayers are with you and your family, and we are always here for you.

Amy, what an amazing story! Walking away like that, hardly touched! Just amazing! I was supposed to go on a poker run about 10 years ago, I was so mad I couldn't go, had to work. The guy I was supposed to ride with laid his bike down and died. HE works in all ways. I don't want to get all "religious" and scare anyone off, but after reading that book, I can't deny that is where my strength comes from. The way she explains how she had this back and forth dialoge and all these questions were answered to her. How WE choose our bodies and missions so we could develop as a spirit. Some of us made connections in our spirit life to meet up here in some way and help achieve what we need. I don't want to put it all in here, there's just too much anyway, but man...I'm SO glad you already ordered it! I have to send my copy back to the person who sent it to me, her son desperatly needs to read this book, he's very ill right now. But I am going to order my own copy. I obsess over death. Evil forbodings they call it. I never realized how much I do it, until I caught myself. THis book helped. I know how hard it is in everyday life to think so grandly, I just read this book this weekend, and was so pumped up, and I still have to catch myself a million times a day. But it will help you.

Leslie, you are such a caring person, such wonderful words you always have for those in need! Thanks for your support on this forum, all of you, thank you!
