I thought reading others stories and struggles would help but to tell you the truth, I'm depressed and downright ready to throw in the towel after reading all of this.
I'm sick as a dog too, but you know what? Today, I laid in bed with my two daughters and watched the Biggest Loser (our favorite show). I tickled my seven year old and stroked my 10 year old's hair while we pet our dog. I thanked the Universe for my life and the fact that I'm still here. All this despite feeling dreadfully sick.
I'm completely alone in this fight and would like to interact with some fellow lymies, but I need to hear some positive statements along with the struggles. Any takers?

Hello Rachel D!
I just met with a young woman in my community (face to face) yesterday and she knows two other women who also have lyme and we are going to get together and celebrate all the richness in our lives! A lyme support group that supports the soul. We thought healthy food and some art work would be a great way to interact.
So yes, I hear you! I need the people in my life to help me get out of the story of being ill (I'm tired of that story). Thank you for the account of the beauty in your day!
Today I went to a yoga/stretch class, watched a Merlin (bird of prey) feed on a blackbird it had caught, ate good home cooked food with a friend on his back porch and read your sweet message. A good day.
 Susan in Eureka, CA

Steve here, I've been on this web/site for years, telling people "how I got well" using, Rife, MMS, DMSO, ...When I first found Bryan Rosner's book, Lyme & Rife book. Now 54 Months later I'm 90% better. As I said in an earlier post, I was tic bit back in 1984. I went through all the conventional treatments. None, NONE, helped at all, they only made me sicker and sicker. By 1999 I was dying of late stage lyme. But now after Rifing, MMS, DMSO, and the help from this web/site I'm 90% BETTER, I'm almost whole and well again. So read and look into who is getting better, talk to them. And don't get up or throw in the towel. Read the posts on rifing and mixing MMS and DMSO. See what you think.
Of course I'm not suggesting any treatments to you or how to treat lyme. I'm just telling you, I was DEAD, and dying, and this web/site helped saved my life. Thats the truth.
All the Doctors I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on never helped me at all. On the contrary, They were killing me along with the lyme disease. They may help you or someone else. But they never helped me at all.
GOD bless you, I know where your at, I've been there. You can get well. Find a good LLMD/Doctor if you can. And read the posts of people here on this and other web/site's that are getting better, getting well.

Hi Susan 
So good to hear from you. Thank you for sharing the positives from your day. It makes me feel immediate HOPE to hear of the joy and appreciation people feel despite their illness. Although I'm not always successful (I'm human, too), I'm trying so so hard to stay positive.
Today, I was feeling quite awful, but I have to say, I laughed out loud when at my seven-year old's basketball camp because my daughter was smiling from ear to ear while learning to jump stop. To see her joyous smile brought a smile to my face, too. And my 10 year old, she went to a roller skating birthday party. When I dropped her off, I had just enough time to see her stumble her way onto the roller skating rink...brought back good memories of roller skating in the 80's to some big haired bands.
As for my Lyme/Babesia/Mycoplasma, I just finished a 2 week pulse of Mepron, Zithromax, Artemesinin and Metronidazole. My stomach was not happy with me, but overall, by the end of the two weeks, I DID feel some minimal improvement. Now I wait two weeks before doing the whole thing again. Kind of scary to be off meds, but I understand the pulsing theory.
I hope you're well. I'm a little jealous of your support group, but if you don't mind, I'll be a long-distance supporter and member over in freezing Wisconsin.
Take care!
Rachel

Hi Steve,
So so thankful over here for you taking the time to respond to my post. It gives me hope to read of the successes, whether they are at a 50%, 90% or 100% stage. I'm happy for your continued path to wellness...it sounds as if you've really found something that is working for you.
I am unsure as to what MMS or DMSO is, so I guess it's time to research. My LLMD seems very good-he is recommending antibitioics alone for me right now to "reduce the bacterial load," then possibly a Rife machine. I just finished the first two weeks of a pulse of the Jemsek Protocol, now I'm off meds for two weeks and then on again. Besides an extremely upset stomach, I didn't feel as if I herxed a whole lot, but I do admit to feeling a tiny bit better after the two weeks.
Again, thank you for your time. I appreciate any efforts made.
Warmly,
Rachel

Hello Rachel, We,re a pretty large group of people with only one motive here in mind and thats to get well. maybe start to read about the people who are getting better. Know-one here can tell you what to do or how the treat....(lawsuits) Most all of us have know interest in making money here.
I bought a used book on amazon.com "DMSO NATURE'S HEALER" By Morton Walker. A Great book. Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO)
Also there's Dr. Stanley Jacob's Laboratory. http://www.dmso.org/ or http://www.jacoblab.com.
And Jim Humble and his MMS at http://www.miraclemineral.org
Read about some of the ways people are mixing MMS and DMSO.
Read about Rife and Lyme, look into the coilmachine and others. You can find a good used one on ebay.com
You can read my post here on many, many years of Dr.s Meds "NONE HELPED ME AT ALL"....?
And I've been to many, many MD's read the posts. But I really hope you've found a good LLMD, That could be a great help.
I'm 80% to 90% better only because of this web/site and the books I read that help me get well. This is just a-little more info.
