Omg...i Might Be On To Something

[Rachel--24]

Donna- You have a beautiful smile (from your other avatar) so I crown thee Smiley Spice.

Yeah...Donna is totally Smiley Spice.

Does MiaMia have a Spice name yet??

I think of her as Sweet Spice....cuz thats Mia....she's just one of the sweetest people ever.

How bout Laura?? What her Spice name??

I'm still laughing about Lisa being Freddy Mercury Spice.

Amazonian Lyme Ladies of the Rachelville Paradise Cult Farm in-the-Mountains-by-the-Sea.

ROFL...

Susan...the cult farm....hysterical!!

One of these days I'll have to get together another one of those pages with excerpts from the madness of last summer.

I think you might have missed what I put together from a word search on "Spinached".

[rinne]

.......

Anyways.....YAY!!!

Now my next question is.....are you gonna show these results to any of your previous docs??

Now the first letter goes, 1 - I have Lyme disease, 2 - you are an idiot and 3 - you are a danger to your patients.

rach-

real quick---- thanks for all your sweet words

and the running joke is that i'll send the results, with a nice letter (a la rinne!), and a picture of me, holding a certain finger up. don't worry, its a joke, but i've laughed (and cried) over it a handful of times already.

Maybe not now Laura but at some point you may find it helpful, I know I felt better after my letter to Dr.Huffy and when I think of that one doctor you posted about I'd like to write him myself.

Only four minutes until a shuttle launch!

Always an amazing spectacle.

Thanks for the update.

[Rachel--24]

Oh and yes to Serendipitous Spice, that's me.

Its perfect for Rinne...but DANG....I'm gonna have a really hard time spelling that one.

[happygirl]

Ok, I laughed out loud about that. I had forgotten that!!! Seriously though, I remember not sharing for a long time because I didn't think I was "as sick" as you or someone else, so then I didn't want it to look like a pity party for me. It took me a long time to admit to myself that I was as sick as I was, and longer to admit it to others.

I know its not a competition.....but you know what I mean. And look where I ended up....96 lbs and 8 foods, with my parents taking care of me. I look back now and realize I was sicker than I could even comprehend.

let me just say that I am near giddy at this point.. i feel like such a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. i feel like i can be me again. i have a name, and have more proof to the lyme (which I am convinced now....no more "what if"). This is what I have, and I can get rid of it, and then I'll go on to do all sorts of fabulous things. And by fabulous things...I mean, not worry all the time, work a normal schedule, enjoy my time with friends and family (and one day, one of my own!), ....do normal things that have been taken away from me and changed who I was. not that it will be an easy road from today to "there"----but its a start, right?

Eric and I are going out for a bit, but I will send out an email, maybe tomorrow? I haven't shared as much lately so I'll fill in on everything. I got your PM Susie (and by the way, Eric laughed when he saw that the dingo's wished me well) and I should have everyone else's email.

I love you guys.......thank you for all the gentle pushes, and just listening....or reading, etc.

oh yeah, so what is my spice

xoxo

[Rachel--24]

Now the first letter goes, 1 - I have Lyme disease, 2 - you are an idiot and 3 - you are a danger to your patients.

ROFLMAO

I just LOVE reading that!!

There is really only ONE Dr. I want to send a letter to. The biggest idiot Dr. I'd ever seen...out of a whole sea of idiot Dr.'s...he really stands out from the rest. MORON.

He's gonna be hearing from me one of these days.

Oh....and I definately cant forget about the DENTIST that started ALL of this heinosity....he'll be hearing from me too.

We had a few discussions about all this in the very beginning (he's the one that said no harm in galvanic reaction )...but yeah....he was backing the ADA 100%. MORON.

His letter will say:

1. I have mercury poisoning, 2. You are an idiot, 3. You are a danger to your patients and to your staff.

Todays news from Laura is a wonderful example of why this thread is so precious to us.

As to the Mars/Venus thing, could be.

Essentially you walked into a room with a group of mostly women who have formed a close friendship, some of us have been talking to eachother for over a year and most of us have been through HELL. It has been not only our illness, which is devasting enough, but with doctors who have treated us without respect and family and friends who think we're crazy.

If we are protective it is only because this is one of the few places we come to and know we are safe.

We are AMAZON.

Rinne can be our spokesperson anytime! I agree with all of this.

Donna- You have a beautiful smile (from your other avatar) so I crown thee Smiley Spice.

I like it!! although old avatar is more a guffaw than a smile...but I do smile too.

Tom (Murph)- yeah...you can go play that's great! And it could very well be the Mars/Venus thing. I think we also feel very protective of each other because we've been through so much in the 1171 pages of this thread! So, we are women hear us ROAR! Not at you, but at the thought of getting healthy!!!!

Yep, agree with this too.

We have grown very close over the last year. I'm the healthiest as far as symptoms go but I'm not taking that for granted. I'm also not sure if I have a candida problem and I'm not going there until my little guy is weaned late next year. He had enough of a problem with the tiny bit of chlorella I was taking.

...

We welcome newcomers, this is not a clique, it's a growing family.

Yep, agree with this too.

Amazonian Lyme Ladies of the Rachelville Paradise Cult Farm in-the-Mountains-by-the-Sea.

Holy guacamole how can you remember all that.

Yup...this thread is near and dear to us....our home away from home...the one place where the light is always on and everyones always welcome.

Yep, including people from both venus and mars.

[AndreaB]

I love you guys.......thank you for all the gentle pushes, and just listening....or reading, etc.

oh yeah, so what is my spice

xoxo

I'll look forward to the email....when you can get it out.

I'm not creative with names so I'll leave the spice name up to someone else.

[dlp252]

Does MiaMia have a Spice name yet??

I think of her as Sweet Spice....cuz thats Mia....she's just one of the sweetest people ever.

Yeah, sweet or sweetest spice!

Its perfect for Rinne...but DANG....I'm gonna have a really hard time spelling that one.

Or you could just type Sere Spice for short.

Or Dippy Spice.

Oh, oh, I feel myself on the verge cracking myself up again.

Eric and I are going out for a bit, but I will send out an email, maybe tomorrow? I haven't shared as much lately so I'll fill in on everything. I got your PM Susie (and by the way, Eric laughed when he saw that the dingo's wished me well) and I should have everyone else's email.

Do you still have my email? I know that was a while ago...

[dlp252]

Okay new pics...and on my personal page...pink fuzzy slippers and green toes.

[rinne]

......

His letter will say:

1. I have mercury poisoning, 2. You are an idiot, 3. You are a danger to your patients and to your staff.

Suddenly it is not funny, not funny to think of how his ignorance devasted your life and when you say he is a danger to others he is one of those others. Who convinced him?

Yet, I can't regret any of it for myself or for any of you because here we are and we wouldn't be here if not for all the rest of it.

And the very fact that we are seeing improvements says so much.

Laura, how about Happy Spice .

I am just so very glad that you have found doctors that are helping you.

So Serendipitous Spice it is even though Rachel will have a hard time spelling it. You could shorten it to Dippy I suppose.

Oh and I love Smiley Spice for you Donna.

[AndreaB]

Okay new pics...and on my personal page...pink fuzzy slippers and green toes.

Like the slippers......wouldn't work too well up here though......my feet would be cold.

One of these days I'll have to get together another one of those pages with excerpts from the madness of last summer.

I think you might have missed what I put together from a word search on "Spinached".

Rachel I did see it, it made me out of my mind with joy......would love to see it again, if you still have it.

Mia is the SWEETEST spice, is she not? and also delicate, tiny, and exotic....like a rare bird....maybe Saffron Spice....dunno yet....

Bev now I have to smell Casmir....I am obsessed with Vanilla - - - BTW best candle in the entire world, I haven't told you guys because I don't think many of you can have scented candles? but when you CAN have them You have to go to Bath and Body works and get Henri Bendel Vanilla Bean - - OMG - - - normally 26.99, they are now on sale for $10, and I bought a ton, for gifts and for me.

Donna - - a lunatic. saw your toes and slippers.

Oh, oh, I feel myself on the verge cracking myself up again.

and us too. as in, you are cracking us up, also.

is there an actual shuttle launch? there's that wondrous testosterone in our Amazonian thread.

how would I know, I am a little bit interested in the psychological drama of Paris Spice going to jail

never gave her a thought in my life, but now, this is sending a strong message.....I was a little irate that she got to be on HOUSE ARREST after serving just 3 days of her sentence- - damn, I"d like to be on house arrest in her house.......but now she's back in jail for the FULL sentence - it was reduced to half before - - - and I am actually concerned, I think she's going to have a nervous breakdown.

have many projects to tend to, must try and stay...away.......and DON"T shout at me to come back! I can hear you when you do that!

(well I used to hear Cecile when she would do that)

p.s. LOVE those letters to the evil doctors

Omg- that is exactly how I feel tonight. Optimistic. I was just talking to my dad and said "Yeah so WHEN I get pregnant I'll be on amoxicillin." If was the first time in a LONG time that I didn't say IF I get pregnant.

Once I'm better I am going to:

1. Surf again (I'm terrible but I love it)

2. Ski my ever loving brains out.

3. eat Reese's peanut butter cups

4. Do yoga

5. Travel every chance I get

6. Finish my doctorate

7. And keep in touch with all of you

Oh oh looks like I'm in charge of the Spice names so let's see:

Andrea- Mama spice

Rinne- Serendipitous Spice

Patti- Angel Spice

Susie- Silly Spice

Mia- Casmir, Shalimar Saffron or Sweet Spice (no decision made)

Jin- Slayer Spice

Me- Farts like Machine Gun Spice (good gosh!)

Laura--Happy spice

Rachel-I know we said candida spice but was there something else? Hope about SCIENTIFIC SPICE?

Donna--Smiley spice

Julie- WE NEED A GOOD ONE

Carla----babs spice? SHE NEEDS A MUCH BETTER NAME! How about Persuasive Spice (you know

[dlp252]

Um, I could be newbie spice?

Yes, but probably not very appropriate after another couple of pages in this thread...no one is a newbie for long here.

is there an actual shuttle launch? there's that wondrous testosterone in our Amazonian thread.

Yes, where is Vincent...he would have loved updates on the shuttle launch!

how would I know, I am a little bit interested in the psychological drama of Paris Spice going to jail

never gave her a thought in my life, but now, this is sending a strong message.....I was a little irate that she got to be on HOUSE ARREST after serving just 3 days of her sentence- - damn, I"d like to be on house arrest in her house.......but now she's back in jail for the FULL sentence - it was reduced to half before - - - and I am actually concerned, I think she's going to have a nervous breakdown.

Me too. I am actually worried for her. I think she might have a breakdown for sure! My ex was arrested a few times for DUI (one of the reasons why he's ex by the way) and he didn't spent much time in jail either. Not saying that's right, just saying what happened to her is not so unusual.

[Rachel--24]

Rachel-I know we said candida spice but was there something else?

Yeah...somehow I was "Candy Spice" (dont recall how that came about though ). I think Bev came up with it.....sounds about right....she's pretty NUTTY like that.

It sounded kinda "stripperish" ....so I became "Candida Spice" instead.

I think Susan said I'm Scientific Spice....so I'll go with that since like Bev....I dont want to be named after one of the "bugs".

Rachel I did see it, it made me out of my mind with joy......would love to see it again, if you still have it.

I dont have it saved but I'm sure I could find it again.

I'll look for it later.

how would I know, I am a little bit interested in the psychological drama of Paris Spice going to jail

Oh gaaaaaaaaawd!!!

Yes...I was THRILLED that she got sent back today......could not BELIEVE that they would allow her to stay in her luxurious home for a month and call that punishment. HELLO....parties every night at Paris's house.

Anyways...saw the whole story.....she's screaming for her mom...all disheveled and hysterical. Tears galore...I think she could totally break down from this.

I'm torn from feeling sorry for her....but then knowing if she would have gotten to serve out the remainder under MANSION ARREST.....she would continue to never take anything seriously. She's a bit spoiled...to say the least.

So I dunno...I'm torn.

[dlp252]

OK....have a question for you all that I am a bit scared to ask but I'm gonna throw it out there. Narcotic painkillers with Lyme? Anyone? I know my SIL"S sister took viocodin and it helped her function tremendously. Not a big fan, but some days really are unbearable (today was one of them.

We also need spice names for Charlie and Grump.

Pain killers...don't do well with them so I really don't have any input. Vicodin never seems to do anything for me...they gave them to me after both of my surgeries and last year before my root canal, but they didn't really touch the pain. I had better luck with tylenol. Weird I know, but that's me.

[DingoGirl]

OMG - - I don't know the answer to this is for you, except you have to be quite careful as to which narcotic you take- you don't EVER want to see Silly Spice on VICODIN - - - it's like crank for me - - like I had 10 pots of coffee - - took one of my niece's a few weeks ago when back was thrown out - - worse reaction than when I had one 15 years ago - - I had to remove myself from family dinner, had to be alone in a cool, quiet, darkened room with fan blowing on me - - until it passed - not kidding -

Now DARVOCET susie likes!!!! Darvocet takes me to my magic place. made the appendectomy recovery quite fun.

Me too. I am actually worried for her. I think she might have a breakdown for sure! My ex was arrested a few times for DUI (one of the reasons why he's ex by the way) and he didn't spent much time in jail either. Not saying that's right, just saying what happened to her is not so unusual.

Well, she actually was sent to jail for breaking parole, or something? ignoring the DUI(s)?

Good thing you kicked that drunkard to the curb, lovely Lyme-toed Donna!

[rinne]

Um, I could be newbie spice?

Thanks for thinking of me, Andrea!

You could be Baby Spice until we find you a name.

Oh oh looks like I'm in charge of the Spice names so let's see:

Andrea- Mama spice

Rinne- Serendipitous Spice

Patti- Angel Spice

Susie- Silly Spice

Mia- Casmir, Shalimar Saffron or Sweet Spice (no decision made)

Jin- Slayer Spice

Me- Farts like Machine Gun Spice (good gosh!)

Laura--Happy spice

Wasn't it for driving with a suspended license? Not sure my ex had a license either.

[DingoGirl]

I'm torn from feeling sorry for her....but then knowing if she would have gotten to serve out the remainder under MANSION ARREST.....she would continue to never take anything seriously. She's a bit spoiled...to say the least.

So I dunno...I'm torn.

Lots of young girls look up to these Hollywood dingbats....and it was unfair to NORMAL people who have to serve time, that Paris got to leave. MANSION ARREST indeed! Sheesh.

But you are right, I think she is truly unraveling, and not a strong girl at all. Money has been able to fix everything in her life....she's never dealt with any kind of trauma like this.....I am worried...she needs to be able to buck up and do it.

Can't really believe I"m discussing Paris Hilton.....

BUT LOOK HOW FUN!!!!!!!!! IT'S A PAJAMA PARTY!!! WE'RE ALL HERE, EVEN JUDY IS BACK ON (i DON'T THINK OUR DEAR JUDY HAD A VERY GOOD DAY TODAY......) AND SHE HATES DOCTORS MORE THAN EVER....THAT'S ALL I KNOW......

[jmengert]

Okay, let's see then...I teach English...English spice? Or does that sound too much like an icky cologne?

[Judyin Philly]

Yes--and to give you a big old group hug!

Laura..iI must have gone off line to get dinner when you posted your lyme results..

I'm so happy you FINALLY HAVE ANSWERS

GROUP HUG FOR SURE...

IT'S GOT A NAME NOW...

DO THE HAPPY DANCE !

HUGS

JUDY

I have to go back now and finish reading 6 pages behind.

just popped up the give you a high 5.
