Guest guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I did the same thing, no furniture in the apartment, scared to touch anything , wore hip boots with other paraphenalia to cover my entire body - of course, like - it was one of those efforts we tried to no avail - just lots of work - it sounds funny now, but then I was completely in battle mode and very serious about it - I actually built a plastic tent around the mattress and me and made a zipper on the plactic tent to get in and out. What madness it was!! Couldn't eat or sleep etc etc depressed.... @> bird mites Sent: Friday, January 20, 2012 10:37 AM Subject: Re: Re: dox. and lyme testing Oh you were a poor soul linda My heart wud o went out to you!!!!!

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I am feeling well now, but very careful about dirty carpets.I live in a small hotel room, I threw absolutely everything out and my life began all over again, the healing began right away. It's been almost a year since I made that last move and no bites or sensations at all - not even on the top of my head which was the last area of sensations. The car is also okay now. But when I said I threw everything out - I meant EVERYTHING. - the suffereing was too long and I was weak and depressed -furniture was nothing to lose. I so glad I made the move.
