I just found out and am in tears. First me, then my husband, now my son! How much can I take of this?! Thank God they (my son and husband) don't have Morgellons symptoms, but that really doesn't necessarily mean they don't have it also.............
Dear Lord, I pray for strength.

BB,
I'm beginning to think that more and more of the general population have lyme and don't know it. What test did he take to get a positive result?
Take it easy now. I know what it means to have sick children with no hope in sight. At least he can be treated.

BB, I can relate and so sad you are going thru this....does he have symptoms or did you just test him anyway? My two children are now 3 and 6 and have been treated for almost a year now i know how scarey this is....I also have the crawling biting stinging that goes along with Morgellons and they don't Thank God. Anyway, I wish you the best and will keep ya'll in my prayers and i am praying for healing constantly with this mess! Robin In Houston

BB
I am so sorry to hear this.
I know how you feel and cant even fathom the cost of treating a whole family.
I wonder everyday if my husband or daughter have this. They show no symptoms at all, but it seems like so many patients, where the whole family has this is happening. Our local support group many have whole familes with Lyme, so I am scared. I havent had either one of them tested. Neither showed Morgellon symptoms either. I wasnt sick my whole life like some people, as a matter of fact its my seven year anniversary.. I think I was infected June of 98. Im hoping so anyway. My daughter is 10 and maybe, hopefully I didnt pass this onto her. I was very healthy before that time.. I dont believe I had Lyme before she was born. The time will come when she has an ache, pain, some kind of problem tho and I know I will get up the nerve to have her tested. For now I am afraid of the results.
We will pray for you BB, know you have support here whenever you need it.
Much love Kerry

Dear BB (Becky)
I am so sorry. What can I say. I know that being a parent we feel guilt for whatever goes wrong with our children (its instinct to protect), yet there are things we cannot protect them against. Especially those things we cannot see. Its, not like many remember a tick bite... Curious, as to whether your family remember being bitten by ticks... I know I have read your stories before, but I'm sorry, my memory sucks........
Give yourself a pat on the back, for being one of the early ones to find out that your family are suffering with something... (you took the time to research & follow through until you found your answers).... I know its no consolation, but you gotta worry about (maybe) many others who don't even have a clue where to start looking.... You have been looking for answers for a long time, and now that you have found it, its a matter of getting better.... I am so thankful that your son & husband don't have the Morgellons symptoms.... (Can I ask what symptoms they were showing).... I hope so much, that you & your family's road to recovery is short & sweet.........
Take care, wishing you well & keep in touch....

Thank you, everyone.
I know I am so very fortunate to have found some of the answers to our health problems. Thank God for Ginger Savely! Thank God for the internet! And Thank God for all of you here!
My lyme dr uses IgeneX, and always suggests that the entire family be tested, and this time she was right for sure. My son in Virginia has been tested at the V.A. so I don't quite feel comfortable with the testing. I want to have it redone sometime when we can afford it.
My son in Texas and my husband have complained of aching joints and muscles for quite some time now. I guess that is their most obvious symptom. Both of my sons have panic attacks, seizures, depression, etc. My son in Virginia just began treatment for bi-polar disorder.
I guess what is most upsetting is...........once we happen to get rid of the lyme, it's out there for us to pick up again.............and again............right?
My husband is an exterminator and still we are not safe! My lyme dr said because of his profession she could almost guarantee his results will be positive and it was. And no one wants to go home and do what you've been doing all day, so I have a hard time getting him to spray around the house. His animals always have fleas, even with Frontline. It just feels so hopeless.
God, not my baby! He's 21 but still my baby.
