- Thanks to all who filled me on the Lyme group. Since I am new at this,
- when I get rejected (unknown list, no such list), I assume it is something
- I have done wrong.
- I am beginning to think I know a lot of sick people. I know 3 people
- diagnosed with Lyme Disease, including my son.
- I orginally signed up for cfs because my sister had some weird thing about
- 3 years ago that never was diagnosed. She eventually got so desperate she
- had all the fillings ripped out of her teeth. Again she is having "trouble"
- but thinks this time it may be something pulled from playing tennis. Now she
- is going to an acupuncturist because again her "real doctor" was heading
- for the tranquilizers.
- The first time she was sick she could sometimes not get out of bed.
- A few months before this, she was bitten by some bug while taking
- a cruise down a river (in California). She got instantly violently ill and
- had to be brought back to the dock and dumped off. I always wondered if
- this could have triggered something. She was the "healthiest and
- most active" in the family before this.
- From reading what others have written about cfs, some of the symtoms
- are the same as a friend of mine who is on prednisone, can't sleep even
- when tired, no colds or common bugs....interesting. I understand
- prednisone is a steroid.
