Telling your friends Posted on: 03-20-2012 @ 04:15 am |

Hello again everyone, its Chris. i will soon be going in for another lengthy appointment with my doctor to have another round of testing done. YIPPY!!! id like to touch how to tell your friends about your Lyme disease. lets admit it, Lyme is scary. especially to people who have no clue what it is. the best way to help your friends and in term help them help you is to answer questions. make it less scary for them. they want to help you. they really do. but you need to tell them how. they do not want you going through this alone. they are you friends after all. you need to help them help you. give them the tools websites they can learn about lyme from. give them the opportunity to help you. helping them at the same time Psychologically helps you come to terms with it and help you become less scared of it. some will not understand as quickly what you are going through. in that case just let them ask you questions. let them pick at your brain get some answers to what they want to know. lets be honest it cant hurt. if your memory is effected by Lyme like mine is. it can drill it in there and help you remember it!!! less stress and a larger support group can reduce your mental recovery time. i wont put any numbers on that but it really does help. in previous journal entries i stated that Lyme is a mind game. and the best way to defeat it is to accept it and accept that you are not broken. but in turn you have hit an hurtle. the difficult part is jumping over the hurtle. the harder part is figuring out what direction to take after you jump it. it will sound strange to hear it after suffering from Lyme but the hard part isnt the sickness during the treatment. the hard part is figuring out what way to go while recovering. you have choices. move forward with your life get active and live life. or let it swallow you. yes i know its hard to move and be active after all that. but thats the mind game. you then have to take it and run with it. prove to yourself and the world that you will not let it stop you. if i have learned anything from Lyme its that i am so much stronger then i know. i am spiritually stronger, emotionally strong physically stronger. believe me you can do it. i KNOW you can do it. you have the tools. you have the strength emotionally and physically. get up move be happy! take my advice for what its worth. get up, take a walk, get out from under the rain clouds. its sunny out here. todays preventative tip for avoiding Lyme is PERMETHRIN SPRAY! here is the website comparing DEET vs. Permethrin http://www.lymeneteurope.org/info/deet-versus-permethrin-as-a-tick-repellent again i say this for your benefit. preventative measures can help you avoid multiple exposures to Lyme disease. help yourself and others with knowledge. do routine tick checks! treat your pants with permethrin if you so choose to do. wear light colored clothing that ticks will be more visible on. above all EDUCATE YOURSELF! take the initiative. better yourself and those around you. |

Comment: Once again you have much wisdom and great advice! I like the "get moving-take a walk" part. I always encourage people with lyme to keep moving. I have read (Dr Burrascano) that doing aerobics is not a good exercise for lyme patients but he does advocate walking, swimming, weights and yoga. |
