I was going back and rereading a few posts and looking at comments when I came across what I wrote about Flagyl possibly making someone act drunk and that I did not drink.... and that I had to look up info on that...and that staggering was one of the symptoms.
I laughed right out loud at HOW I had written that ~ like I did not know how a drunk person would act. Drinking is not part of my life, but I do know how those who drink too much act..
SIGH...I meant I looked up what Flagyl symptoms would be for "acting drunk"....my brain fog was in high gear...but it gave me a good laugh.
It is nice to have my brain back to "normal" which of course involves Lyme and brain fog, but is normal for me! Ha!
Welcome!
I hope you find my writings interesting and inspirational. They are often filled with emotion because I write without many filters, and they are interwoven with my faith because I know no other way to live. May you find tidbits of information, a dash of humor, and much encouragement here. May this place be a sanctuary for your soul.

Having lived with chronic illnesses for many years, I have spent a great deal of time viewing the world from my living room window. Being homebound, I have created an important sanctuary for myself. On my sofa I have fluffy pillows and a warm wool comforter affectionately named, "Woolie" that keeps me warm in the fall and winter, or during Lyme and CFS crashes. In front of me is my coffee table that holds my writing materials, remotes, cordless phone, etc. There is a photo of our family, and a photo of our oldest son and his friends in their police uniforms, to remind me to pray for their safety. The lower shelf is overflowing with stacks of books, papers, my Bible, and articles I am reading at the moment. I have easy access to my TV, stereo, and cds, and I am only a short distance from the kitchen and bathroom. My recliner is close by with my laptop "Libby" right next to it. It is a good place to be.
There is a beautiful view into our backyard, where squirrels, rabbits, robins, cardinals, finches, morning doves, goldfinches, and sparrows gather. Quite often a deer or two will cut a path through our connecting yards for us to enjoy. Trees, flowers, and bushes brighten the landscape. I have watched this view change from season to season, and never tire of its beauty. Even though at times I get tired of living life mostly from my living room, how safe and cozy I feel in my sanctuary. I am blessed.

Nice to see you in a great frame of mind! Keep it up.
:) hee hee
We've all experienced something similar -- Lyme does crazy things to the brain and the treatments are just as bad!
Oh, I laugh almost every day, rummuser. Laughter is teh best medicine after all.
It really does cause a few brain slips doesn't it. Joel and I have had a chuckle or two over who needs the most reminders in a day due to brain fog...
i do experience brain fog sometimes. i stare at the paper or the computer screen in front of me or at the job i need to do. my thoughts are swirling in my head and so unorganized. i hate it when that happens. i guess that's the reason why i got into the habit of listing things-to-do. that way i get things done.
Sounds like a good plan for you Pia. I write lists all the time too.
Wow, I hadn't read that about Flagyl. My body was not a happy camper while on that medication. I wouldn't want to stagger or feel drunk, but it would be fun to have an antibiotic that made us laugh while on it. Happy Lymers. :-D
Hi Lisa
It is hard for me to not feel discouraged in not being able to take Flagyl longer...BUT I stayed on it long enough to kill off the stomach bacteria we believe.
Did you find it helped you alot? Kara said it helped her. I am seriously thinking of herbs. The die off from treating yeast problems now is no fun either...challenging being a Lymie isn't it!
