Lymes Chat

Doing your homework

I am looking forward to getting Connie on here to share with you. Over the years she has done a ton of her own investigative work online. She has finally been blessed with a doctor that is really working hard to find "the" answers. Matter of fact they will be sitting in on a Lyme's conference and they will be able to get it online.

Connie for years now has had different things going on...one of those is that she feels like her blood is getting thick and she isn't getting oxygen and most of the time she has use her O2 tank to be able to relax enough to get some sleep. So much of what happens to a Lymes infected person is "do they have a CoInfection" and it appears they usually do. Years after Connie was diagnosed with Lymes they then found Bebesia and the is a very wicked bug.

IF you are fighting through Lymes or any of the other illnesses that sometimes should be called Lymes...hang in there. Take charge and you too will see a light at the end of the long tunnel. We will keep sharing as we go. And if I can add...prayer works.

Today as you read this...do you wonder if you have Lymes? Have you been diagnosed with Lymes or possibly with something else?
The journey can be long...it has been for us. In this 10+ year journey of ours we have found many things and still looking for others. You know your body better than anyone. You must believe that you will find answers, you can and will be healed...never give up searching. Everyones body responds differently and not everyone knows how to attach this intruder that may be in your body.
You may be someone that knows someone that may have Lymes...what can you do. First of all going through this can be tough and even scary at times. Being a support to someone that may have Lymes or a simular disease is huge to that person. If you have Lymes and a co-infection (which seems there is in most cases) or a simular problem and are married...please...please work this out together. I know it can be tough on the other spouce that does not have this (I know, I am that person)...but remember and step outside of yourself and understand what you partner is going through. They need you more then they sometimes may show you.
Hang in there and we'll get through it together! There is hope!

We are back and it's 2012...how are you...blessed we hope!

Hello and it is great to be back with you. Connie has been having quite a time since we were last with you. I know Connie will look forward to answering any questions that you have. My name is Gator...Connie and I have been married for over 30 years and the last 10+ years we (and if you are married and fighting Lyme's you fight it together) have battled the entire time with Lyme's with somewhat recently finding the co-infection that has been hiding with the Lyme's bug. All of 2010 she had a port (I call it a tube) coming from her chest with daily high doses of antibiotics. Through 2011 she was doing better than 2010 with a fewer amount of episodes. She now has is fighting something that has broke out all over her like a pox and/or shingles. I do not know how she holds it together...the battle rages on. But the good news is this illness can and will be defeated.

We will soon cover more of her (our) story of the past and the present. The key for us was that Connie did a ton of personal research and never ended the tiring journey to truly find someone that knows how to attack this disease. We have went through everything from "I don't know" to " you have this or that" to have you been checked for Lyme's disease to "yes just take this and it will fix it" to " here is some anti-depressent to make it better" and more. You know your body...we hope we can be a small part in being a voice that has and is going through it. Love to all and never give up!

Hello, I am Connie's husband and I too, would like to welcome you to Lymes Chat. Connie has a story and many experiances and many trials through her struggle with Lymes and co-infections and doctors and more. If you have been struggling with this illness and have a close loved one, that loved one has went through it or still is going through it as well. I hope to be of some help on the husband side of Lyme. This can be a huge struggle as well for the husband or wife that is married to a partner with one of these diseases. Even though you don't have it, you do. Connie and I have went through this together for many years and the fight is not over yet. But it will be and we will win!
