Sharon,

I don't know if this will make you feel better but I will try. I also was

diagnosed with lyme in 1989. I was 16. After a long struggle and missed

years of high school I went to communtiy college. Then at age 20 I

transfered to a 4 year college and planned to live on campus. My mom was

also a wreck, but I was also determined like your daughter and I did it!!!!

I went to Stockton State about an hour and a half away from home. Mom was

still upset and so was I. I was very scared. Esp since having lyme I had

learning diasbilitys that made college a battle and a half. I did make it.

I had to take extra good care of myself. I partyed about 5% of the time my

friends and roomates did, but in the end it was worth it. Tell your son and

daughter that they need extra sleep and good nurtin more so then healthy

college students. I was also studying all the time since Lyme did give me

trouble with school. I saw a wonderful nueroligists that put me on ritilain

for the two and a half years in college. Some might say this is not the

answer but I went from failing my first semester (despite always studying) to

getting A's and B's. YES I had to work much harder than my roomates.

Manynights my friends were going dancing and I stayed behind to study. BUT

IT WAS WELL WORTH IT!!! I HAVE MY BA IN MARKETING NOW!!! My friends inc

ollege knew my sitiution and altough wanting to take me out they respected me

for my hard work. Good luck to your daughter. SHE CAN DO IT!!! I was such

a sick teen with lyme and I did it. Make sure if she lives in a dorm room

esp to take lots of vitamins. Dorms have small rooms and if someone is sick

it's easy to get sick. So give her lots of vitamins. ALso make sure she

eats!!!!!! College food is gross, but tell her to take advantage of salad

bars, bagels, sandwiches and other healthy things that they can't screw up.

Good luck to her. I hope she has a fun experience She deserves it!!!!!!

Hi Sharon: The empty nest syndrome? More so in your case because you didn't

have to go through the " teen years arguments " with your daughter that I'm

sure most Mom's dealt with. You are perfectly normal in your reaction. You

obviously love each other very much and parting is never easy. I don't

believe the Lyme you both have to deal with is making it worse. I just

believe the separation is the problem you both have to face. You both sound

intelligent and you both sound like you'll make it through. Stop expecting to

make it through without crying. Crying is healthy and shows the true emotions

that you will both miss each other. But you and your daughter will survive.

Hang in there. I know this is tough but you two are tougher!

Hi Sharon,

My heart goes out to you, I don't know how I would be able to bear having

my children suffer with this disease, let alone send them off to college

while they were ill. I am embarrassed to say when my son finally moved out

at age 21, I was grateful because I had lots less laundry....! And I was

well at the time! I love him to death, don't get me wrong, but he was

wasting his money on CD's and Lord knows what else, so I thought it was time

for him to move. He wouldn't go to college, regrets it now of course, and

so do I. You are of course extra emotional due to your Lyme disease, and

your worry about how they will do. I am sure after a period of adjustment

they will both do well, are they both still on meds? I wish I knew the

magic words to make your depression and fears disappear, but the passing of

time will be the only remedy I am afraid. Good luck with the trip to VA,

take your time and stop often, let us know how you do, as well as the kids,

Hugs,

Marta NJ

Sharon - its hard enough to send your kids off to school when we are well - but

adding this sickness that

messes with our emotions makes it almost impossible. My baby boy went off to

college last week - his second

year. Last year before the lyme i was able to drive the 11 hours down to the

southern part of N.C. and it was

hard but i am all for kids growing up and I was looking forward to my next stage

in life. But this year - i

feel just like you - I couldn't drive down thanks to the lyme - so his

girlfriend and her mom came up from

land and drove him down. I cant tell you how much this hurt and i miss him

so much. I am divorced so now i

just feel so alone. But i know i have to go on. i hate this disease and what

it dose to us. I just want you

to know you are not alone - our emotions are hightened and depression is part of

this illness.

Also try the herbs Kava Kava, Valerian Root and Passion Flower either in

combination or separately. I take at least one Kava Kava a day and

sometimes 1 Valerian Root Complex [Valerian Root, Kava Kava, Passion Flower]

at night. I have had less nightmares with this Valerian Root Complex

supplement too.

Dear ,

From what I understand, this is typical for lyme! Especially when there is

ANY STRESS WHATSOEVER!!! Avoid stress at all costs - it causes a chemical

reaction (can't explain it - don't understand it), but this is what LLMD /

nurse & other lymies have told me.

Hang in there - you are NOT ALONE in this!

Have you tried flax oil & co-q-10 supplements? THese are used to treat

patients with depression (read in book at healthfood store) - as they

increase " frontal lobe activity " - something that is usually decreased in

depressed people.

Also, if you're up to it, do some research on alternative therapies - check

out these rife sites... This is working for us!

Yeah, I've had many days like that. Even now, when I'm feeling a lot better

physically, I still go through it. I'm sure some its neurological and some

of its psychological, for me, anyway. Antidepressants have helped me climb

out of the worst pits of despair. Allowing myself to really let it rip

(sob), reaching out, lighting candles, listening to music, praying, reading

or watching funny stuff are my daily coping mechanisms. I'm not on

antidepressants now because they don't seem to mix w/ Flagyl (for me). One

thing I keep in mind is that these feelings pass. I try to breath deeply and

conjure the thought " this too shall pass. "

It really sucks to be trapped in sick body. Big, big hug to you and all you

December 14, 1999

Hi ,

Yes, we all have had this at one time or another, much worse when it

coincides with our PMS....(the girls I mean). I found relief on Paxil, it

really helped me stop feeling bad for myself, and stopped the tears and the

anger. Sometimes I wonder if it is not such a good thing to be on such an even

keel, but then I think of the people around me and they would much prefer me on

Paxil, I am sure. Lyme affects the brain that's a given, so if you want to stop

feeling so bad, ask your doc for an anti-depressant. Other than Paxil, being

involved with Lyme-aid has really given me a lift too. Somehow my woes seem so

minor compared to others.

Hugs,

Marta NJ

G......you may just be having a bad day, BUT.....take a look at what

you are on for meds. Klonopin (Clonazepam) did this to me....took me a

couple of weeks to figure it out.....but slowly tapering off stopped the

overwhelming urge to cry. On the rare occaision I feel the need for a good

cry I always feel a ton better after.....the difference with the medication

was that I was weepy and never felt better until I got off it.

Good luck!

Dear Sue,

Just wanted to send you this link as you mentioned early eye problems

(glaucoma, I think)...

This is causing premature cataracts & BLINDNESS in people & pets. In MANY

products - spaghetti sauces, frozen veggies, chips, corn chips, etc., etc.,

etc. Read all my labels & took EVERYTHING back to store & told them why -

opened & unopened! (They probably think I'm nuts, but who cares - I'll keep

my vision, thanks anyway! LOL!)

Told my healthfood store about this & they immediately pulled every bottle

off shelf. Don't let anyone BS you that it depends upon how it's processed

either. Canola is canola!

Also, has exact OPPOSITE effect in body as does flax / olive oils -

constricts blood vessles, etc.

Hope this helps!

>Also try the herbs Kava Kava, Valerian Root and Passion Flower either in

Anyone planning to try herbs would hopefully do their homework on them,

first. I've researched & tried each of the above, and personally found only

passion flower to be effective for sleeplessness and some anxiety. Anxiety

can feed the depression cycle, so sometimes it can be helpful to try breaking

it there. But other times, anxiety meds (allopathic or otherwise) can

actually contribute to depression - each of us is different.

>And of course St. 's Wort.

I tried this during my depression, and for whatever reason, it made me

jittery. I would think anyone also on doxy would want to be extremely

careful in the sunlight if taking SJW, too. Also, since I tried it,

there's been the news of it contributing to glaucoma (and since my bro had

early-onset rare glaucoma, I'm kinda glad it didn't work for me - no use

taking needless risks;-))

Dear : Been there, done that! I am now on Zoloft because the

medications I took just made me an emotional roller coaster. Plus, I

have encephalopathy in my brain, and that is right where your emotions

are centered. Anti-depressants will help to normalize the situation. My

doc told me it wasn't for depression, it was for lyme! Whatever, it

works. Besides, you probably have reason enough to cry - you've got

this blasted disease and it is terrible to lose the health you used to

have.

I know exactly how you feel toward your husband, I have said the same

thing to mine, go, live a full life, why be burdened with me, my SSDI will

keep me. But he just says, " Would you leave me, if I was sick? " and of

course the answer is no, but sometimes when I am feeling especially dark, I

tell him Yes. Actually, being sick has improved my marriage, I am more

aware of his needs, and try when able to fulfill them. I am not just

talking sex here, men like to be listened to, and I had a bad habit of

tuning him out, I now try to really listen and respond when he talks and I

see a big improvement in our relationship when I do that. I wish I could

hold your hand and tell you this is all going to be OK, but we don't know

what the future holds for any of us. Just try to take one day at a time and

try to be thankful for the little things.

Marta,

I am taking 200mg. of Zoloft. I thought it was working fine. I do know I am

having a problem dealing with the holidays. I cry just talking about it. We

are supposed to visit my son in Columbus. It about a 10 hour drive. I have

that problem with burning in the uretha and it makes it so difficult for me to

ride. In fact it makes it difficult to do just about anything. And

Stress...that is a joke. I can not deal with even the simplest things....I

guess I need to try and relax and stop worrying....Thank for caring.Marta....
