Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I was in a horrid place health wise for a week and didn't even pick up my computer. <br />Yes you are right about that. Yes luke warm baths are far better for me. And every morning I do sponge baths instead or light rinses and not full showers until i have to:) Lol the whole world gets to know my hygiene now:) <br /><br />Thank you - you are right- it is a tough question! And I agree with you on the individuality we all must face in that choice:) <br /><br />I love your examples! So true!:) <br /><br />I agree- normally I don't have the patience for educating judgemental people either. In fact, I stay away from it in general unless of course those people are reading my blog...lol which I highly doubt as it would either be stretching or fodder for their own gossip:) but yes the safe explanations are usually my way too or I misguide by saying half truths and letting them come to their own biased conclusions...lol you hit the nail on the head tho- If I am feeling rebellious or defiant I may change hat patter a little:)<br /><br />Thanks for your comment and support!

Just try to resist the urge to swat him when he pinches your backside. ;)<br /><br />Judging from the warnings against temperature and deep tissue massage, I'd say these bacteria thrive on heat and motion. I guess kinda like all bacteria... Would taking a lukewarm bath instead of a shower be a good idea? Maybe even something like a sponge bath or sink bath so you don't have to risk a drastic temperature change. (Tub baths freeze my butt off, no matter how hot the water is.) And if you are sensitive to chlorine and other gunk in water, would a whole house filter on the water line coming in be a good idea, if it isn't something y'all have done already?<br /><br />I don't consider it denial on your part to not go through with those chemo-equivalent treatments. "Is quantity of life more important than quality of life?" is a tough question, but I believe if a person answers that based on what's important to them, they made the right choice. If treatment will take away too much precious time from things that matter most to them, or would even lessen time available for such things despite any extra years it may provide, then just tackling the symptoms probably is the best route for a happy and fulfilling life.<br /><br />Symptom overlap truly is a fascinating thing. And a great mystery to me why many people still can't sympathize with various symptoms! Really, who HASN'T had a headache or felt exhausted before? They'd have to be fairly pig-headed to not understand some of the more "common" symptoms of various conditions. Most people don't have neuropathy, in example, but many have stepped on unpleasant things like Legos, and that makes for a good lesson in understanding nerve-damage foot pain. :P<br /><br />I do have one sub-condition I speak more freely of than the thing it's attached to. I'm comfortable with both, but I just don't have the patience to educate ignorant or judgmental people, so it's best if I keep it to myself and go with the "safe" explanation unless I'm feeling particularly rebellious, combative, and defiant. Although my presented problem still gets a good bit of denial and those infuriating "I don't believe that, you're just making excuses" remarks. Oh well. So long as the people who matter believe me, no?Ashehttp://www.raven-wing.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-24996147224251365332016-08-03T22:17:37.054-07:002016-08-03T22:17:37.054-07:00Dear Anonymous:

Not my favourite post to write but must have been on my mind as it only took less than twenty minutes to write...even tho its lengthy...LOL. I would highly suggest doing bloodtests though not necessarily from Lyme but to rule out other diseases that have the same symptoms...especially autoimmune...as most of the symptoms overlap. I would NOT recommend assuming anything with your health- it took a long journey of ruling things out before i even got to the specialists who talked about Lyme. So just a precaution. However, being proactive regardless is very good.<br />Yup- too true:) <br />Wishing you perspective, help and health.Kmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947797743800775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971383103866151443.post-49152112501131026952016-08-02T22:56:41.158-07:002016-08-02T22:56:41.158-07:00Interesting - thanks for being vulnerable - your p...Interesting - thanks for being vulnerable - your processing has helped me a lot with my own processing. I don’t have all the symptoms, and it is not as severe as many, so I can’t be sure - but certainly I do notice the triggers do affect me and enough of the symptoms exist that I do wonder. And knowing what I can do to be proactive without the full-on treatment, is still doing something and still a treatment of sorts. I think you have managed really well - not that my opinion matters - as judgement and opinion of others at the end of the day, just can’t matter - even if it does get to us at times!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
