It is difficult when not in remission. Lyme is a painful, debilitating reality, and 33% of those with late stage Lyme will attempt suicide. Care should be taken to support mental health (support of friends/family, counselling etc) but at the same time not allowing the medical profession to classify one's illness as psychological in nature. We must live in the moment, and enjoy what is good, and the times we feel healthier, while working at treatment in the hope of remission.
