There are so many spin off bacterial infections that are similar to Lyme like Babesia and Erlichiosis. And they are so incredibly hard to diagnose/detect. <br /><br />I strongly recommend seeing a Lyme specialist so that you are certain that you have the proper testing and someone with experience in diagnosing tick born infections.... It can't hurt to rule it out...? There are links to some really good sources on my post about Lyme.<br /><br />If you ever want to chat about it, drop me an email. I hate that you are suffering.<br />xo pfPetit fleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626110471501778855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972647577919000054.post-78463776870383111492009-12-01T11:54:23.274-08:002009-12-01T11:54:23.274-08:00Sorry to hear about the pain and funk you've b...Sorry to hear about the pain and funk you've been going through.

I've read your words and everyone...Hi Maggie, <br /><br />I've read your words and everyone's support. Your writing is beautiful and meaningful, and your willingness to lay yourself bare is "scary" to those of us who can't/won't. Always take care of yourself, and remember, you can't help everyone in the world. It's okay to concentrate on family and yourself; that's how you make your way, find the energy, and help the happiness to spread. There's a psychological term, I think, called "overidentification." I used to overidentify when I saw someone in pain, physical or psychological, and then I learned the catch phrase: "It's not happening to you." You can't take on everyone else's burden, but you can find your own happiness, and spread your insight and wisdom to others, through personal interaction and your writing. <br /><br />You are a beautiful and sensitive person. You will always find times you can give of yourself to others, but if we think too much of everyone else's pain, we can't make it through a single day. Enjoy your blissful moments. Give yourself permission to feel unreserved joy. <br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br />Maybe, are there too many pets in the house? I know I couldn't keep up with that, without feeling extreme depression.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588164536314320479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972647577919000054.post-36973827764528613262009-11-30T16:05:18.132-08:002009-11-30T16:05:18.132-08:00I guarantee your novel is original and fresh and b...I guarantee your novel is original and fresh and brilliant, Maggie, I just don't see you write anything trifling or smucky.

Slow it down. Live each moment, painful as it might be, before moving on the next. The words will come, the animals will calm down, time is not running away from you. I promise.Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477498671080132176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972647577919000054.post-22157519287412782992009-11-30T12:02:49.992-08:002009-11-30T12:02:49.992-08:00I love the line about your house smelling like ang...I love the line about your house smelling like angel breath.<br /><br />I don't know, Maggie.

The problem is you feel too much. The ugliness of the world, the injustices, the heartbreaks weigh you down. Yet it is so much better to feel than not. It's what makes you the astounding, wonderful, loving, and talented person you are. Your kind are few and far between. I am privileged to know you in whatever small capacity I do, because I know the GREATNESS in you.<br />And don't ever doubt your novel. You are a poet.

Then you have to remove your point of view, as if you're looking from a hot air balloon.

Also the right hip. I've been told it's probably an inflamed tendon, and they can be inflamed for years on end. It's bearing the children, having the children and caring for the children taking a toll on our bodies. I'm always thinking surely it's something else as well.<br /><br />xMwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954216492730746581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972647577919000054.post-23227516640480142102009-11-29T22:08:57.016-08:002009-11-29T22:08:57.016-08:00I'm sorry to hear that you're in a funk an...I'm sorry to hear that you're in a funk and hope that it will pass. Well, I'm sure that it will pass because everything does, doesn't it? As for your pain -- have you ever gone to a Chinese doctor? I swear it's the answer for unresolved guck -- the tiredness, the pain, all that stuff that checks out as "normal" is a constitutional thing and Chinese medicine is so good for that. <br />As for your writing insecurity -- three years isn't so bad! I'm not going to listen to you say anything negative about your writing because it's just so amazing and gorgeous and sexy and intellectual and original. I can't believe, sometimes, that you're not already famous, or at least well-known. Love and good vibes to you.

And god forbid anyone compliment something you've irretrievably decided is awful - you disregard all judgments they make, past, present and future, as nonsense! Your gift with the written word is obvious but sometimes discovering how to get out of its way is not.<br /><br />And every now and then, you can learn to see sadness and pain as a small blessing. It can bring perspective, focus and a respite from the chaotic creative forces of bliss. :-) Regardless, I wish you solace and serenity - and for something positive to emerge from the quiet place.CitricSugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580076318545974487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972647577919000054.post-11901666567487028612009-11-29T21:20:48.647-08:002009-11-29T21:20:48.647-08:00I will admit hearing about you and your devoted Mr...I will admit hearing about you and your devoted Mr makes me so happy that you have found him.
