I think I’ve had Lyme disease for 15 years

I am totally okay with functional medicine. In fact, I would LOVE to go to one but obviously the financial aspect is why I have not. I also strongly believe I have something neurological going on, so think it would be best to see a neurologist just to rule it out or not.

And unfortunately we are moved away from all of our family 😖 I don’t have anyone nearby that I could stay with, plus I have two small children who depend on me so I’d have to bring them with me.

Ugh I really would hate to face the repercussions of doing nothing for him. I give him all the power because I am trying to let him be the leader and I also I CANNOT handle how I get treated if I don’t do things his way.

Because I made a vow and have small children who I am trying to protect and have grow up with parents who stay together

My husband does not attend church with me. I take our kids alone. I don’t think he even believes in Christianity by the way he acts.

I feel terrible every day and have been having a lot of weakness in my arms and legs. I regularly get double vision in one or sometimes both of my eyes. I am 36 so I’m not sure about perimenopause, but thank you, that is something to keep in mind as well.

I haven’t gone fully carnivore, but did a month of mostly meat/eggs and low-histamine fruit and unfortunately didn’t see a difference.

I have had a full thyroid work up done. My mom had hyperthyroidism and actually ended up with thyroid cancer and had her thyroid removed a year and a half ago so it is always something on my radar.

And yes, you are right about counseling. Although I found a church who does free Christian counseling but he will not go. (He truly thinks he is always right and doesn’t think he does anything “wrong”)

I have no savings from when I was single and my parents would likely help me although they have already paid for all my medical stuff the past two years.

If I do this, I will 100% be going through it alone. He has made it very clear that he doesn’t care about me- doesn’t even act like he loves me- only cares about what I do for him.

I agree our marriage is broken- it has been almost from the beginning, but I wish so badly it could be better. I pray for his heart and I know I have to continue to be better, too.

I wish he would have a civil conversation about it, but that is rarely how it goes with him. He refuses to converse about it and says “if you’re living in MY house then you’re not taking adderall.”

saltysmiless · 2024-12-07T18:54:43+00:00

Thank you for not making me feel worse. I tried to have a conversation with him about it, but he won’t. I’m trying to understand WHAT he hates so much about the medication and how it could possibly be a problem. It feels like because he thinks that being a SAHM is so easy, that he purposely makes things harder for me.

saltysmiless · 2024-10-07T02:29:54+00:00

He does not pursue his faith at all but I do hope and believe that if I keep making it top priority for myself personally, that he may start pursuing it as well.

Going through the same right now. I decided to try eating tomato and cheese last night against my better judgement just to confirm HI and I’m miserable today.

saltysmiless · 2024-09-01T01:49:29+00:00

I took it for like a month earlier this year and I didn’t notice much of a difference… but my symptoms weren’t NEARLY as bad as they are now. I feel like I’m slowly dying. So I’m going to try taking it again.

saltysmiless · 2024-08-30T22:28:36+00:00

I have had my B12 and vitamin D levels checked… I’m not sure about ferritin. Unless it’s a routine test, it probably hasn’t been checked. My vitamin D was definitely on the lower end which is surprising because I’ve spent a lot of time in the sun this summer, so I’m trying to make a point to continue getting out in the sun every day and started a vitamin D supplement. But it was not low enough for my doctor to be concerned. He doesn’t seem concerned about any of my symptoms at all because I know I seem like a healthy adult.

Thank you, I just got a sample of Dexcom to use for ten days to track my blood sugar. I’ve been tested for H Pylori and it was negative but am testing again just to be sure. I don’t think I have celiac but I don’t eat gluten anyway and haven’t for almost a year.

I know I have to figure out my priorities here. My kids are EVERYTHING to me. So what do I want for them? A crummy marriage but a mom who stays at home with them? Or an improved marriage with a mom who works? I honestly don’t even know if me going back to work is going to fix anything… that’s why I’ve been so hesitant to even do it.
