Oh my Nelly, that was quite a story!! I'm glad to hear both you and your mom are keeping a good sense of humor!!
My mom also has Lymes diease. And fibro AND IBS!! Her lymes is really bad. She had it a long time before she got a proper diagnosis and she can't take the anti-biotics for it. Its basically destroying her. She is one of the rare people that they can't "cure" it or even get it back into remission. How is your bf handling it? Is he taking any medications for it? I don't believe my mom has ever had days of throwing up like you mentioned bf did.
