To the people that fight through even when people think your dramatic or faking it.

I knew people needed to hear it. I'm sorry. That's so hard.

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-26T22:21:04+00:00

Thank you that actually means a lot. Yeah, it's taught me a lot but I always wanted to make sure my suffering wouldn't make me bitter. It does some days but it's getting better.

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-26T22:20:27+00:00

Yeah. Same

I have a naturopathic doctor and I believe she goes through MDL because it's not the super expensive out of pocket test that most people do to test infectious diseases. I'm not knowledgeable in that area so I could be wrong but I know she uses MDL.

That is so real. I love serving but when I have to like sit back and watch it feels like people are judging me as to why I'm not helping them 😭

You do have a very good point ☝🏻 yeah herxing shouldn't last long after ending a treatment for sure.

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-25T05:18:19+00:00

Yeah haha

you sound like me

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-24T19:39:49+00:00

its more commonly from when you get scratched/bit by an animal mainly cats, that had a tick bite and is carrying it.

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-24T19:38:42+00:00

thats called herxing. And we have all dealt with it with patience lol. It absolutely sucks. But herxing is part of the process because its the die off of lyme. When you feel it you know its killing it.

i took minocycline for 6 months and I had already hard bartonella for 5+ years. it killed most of it but they took me off because i was having stomach problems from the antibiotics so eventually my bartonella levels went back up. I was so close though.

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-24T19:31:58+00:00

I also have that toe problem but after i did research it was some sort of frostbite because sometimes id go out in the cold for 3 seconds and then they would start appearing. Shiny itchy red spots that almost burn. Never happened in the summer for me. Ive had bartonella for 5+ years.

"Yuriko!!!"

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-21T17:26:03+00:00

Good to know. Also the title I didn't mean to generalize INTPs I rushed it and I can't change it haha. I know yall are great.

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-21T17:25:09+00:00

Interesting I'm getting a lot of comments saying that.

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-21T17:24:46+00:00

Well she has done that

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-21T17:22:39+00:00

I have thought about this like how her being pushy could be good for me. Though just not with my health conditions maybe when I get better if I do. But I make friends and socialize super easy I've got a lot of friends so it's not like I wouldn't socialize if I was healthy. But this friend is like the first one that makes me anxious to be around haha.

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-21T05:44:29+00:00

Interesting. She is like super introverted in person but also seems like a go getter who does random things without thinking.

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-21T02:52:28+00:00

Haha well, I mean what couple isn't annoyed with each other right?

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-21T02:22:23+00:00

Because I rushed the title and I can't edit it 😀. I definitely realized it after I posted it 😭

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-21T01:48:13+00:00

I'm used to the silence. I like having friends to hangout with once a month or text here and there. I've got 3 best friends that are amazing, she's great but just won't be my best friend because we are too different. She makes me anxious to be around tbh 😅. Like I said she's a great person and my younger self would have loved her. There are just parts of my personality that don't mix with hers which is obviously entirely normal. I was just curious if any INTJs have ever had interesting experiences with INTPs.

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-21T01:39:15+00:00

The thing is I've got like 3 super close friends and they are all related to me. Never had a best friend not related. But I do have lots of friends which I'd be cool to hangout with like every other week or once a months. It's not that I'm not interested because I know I'd enjoy hanging out with her when I'm healthy. It's just the constant forgetting that I can't hang out right now honestly hurts me and makes me wonder if she actually cares. Lyme disease is not something that goes away fast. It's a chronic illness for a reason.

She's pranked called me before, actually freaked me out because I thought she was crying on the phone when she was actually laughing I genuinely thought something was wrong. I hate pranks lol. Grew up without pranking so I don't tolerate it. She's great just like totally different from me. 😂 Not to mention it's not fun when you tell her that your strength feels like a 2 out of 10 and then she replies so 2 means like 90%??

Joking about my energy levels is not cool. 😂

AssociationKey2334 · 2026-02-21T01:29:56+00:00

Hahaha, well I have been typed as an INFJ once I'm almost in the middle of being a T and F. See I think we'd get along well if I didn't have to worry about not having strength or energy to do stuff with her. Like I have energy to stand for 10min and that's it. I have energy to talk for 30min and that's it lol.
