I’m working above my capacity and still falling apart
Some might think, what I am going through is just like Fibromyalgia – wide spread muscle pain. I can tell from my interactions with many, they are still not grasping it. I wish I could explain myself a little better. This is not something, I will walk it off. So […]

Social outing for a friend’s farewell luncheon
I had the opportunity to see a good friend of mine, Gerry, today. I’ve known Gerry for almost 5 years. He is a trend setter, fun, down to earth person. He has a wonderful wife, who I admire due to her determination in fighting against cancer and adorable children, who […]
I met other Lymeys in person for the first time
I finally made it to one of those Lyme Association meetings. It was hard to see others in person. It is not same as reading or even connecting online. They are right there next to you. You can see their emotions as they speak about their struggles. Listening to them […]

Not my best day but hanging in there
It’s been a while since I wrote. First I have gone through a move, then there was the unpacking. Before I knew it, it was time to send hubby to Afghanistan. It is now time to be strong not lose it. Well easier said than done. Although I spent more […]

They say there is a reason for everything
Going back home I moved to Northern Virginia July of 2012. I was looking forward to living in a place that will somewhat give me the city life that I miss so much. NOVA has better schools, more public transportation, more restaurants (not just tons of franchise ones), more job […]

Laying in the dark
Dear insomnia, Even though I’ve met you back then, I didn’t know you this well. You didn’t take a big role in my life. You would come and visit on and off. I have to be honest I liked you better then. Now, I just resent you for taking over […]
Road trip
So we are on the road, to go to Virginia Beach. We are going to be hunting for homes. A house that is closer to my support system. Although I hate the idea of leaving Washington D.C., I look forward to moving back. I feel homesick. I need more familiar […]
Does it get any better?
Results So my daughter definitely has Bartonella (a coinfection of Lyme disease) and some secondary infections of Lyme disease. No conclusive positive Lyme yet. Unfortunately, a negative Lyme test results does not mean she does not have Lyme disease. Tests for Lyme disease is not fully accurate and tends to give […]
