To my wonderful support group and prayer warriors...
I was at my nutrionalist on Tuesday. The sad report was... my Lyme is back! I am back on a few more "drops" and pills again in hopes of sending that Lyme away quickly! It appears I got a bite from an insect that carried Lyme and passed it to me. The happy part is... the bite only happened within the last two weeks which means we are on it pretty quick and hoping it will leave sooner too!
For some reason this time around it seems to be hitting harder. The neck pain and pulling don't help anything. I feel more sick with it and I am just totally ZAPPED in no time at all.
For example:
Thursday night I slept pretty much solid for 12 hours. It was pretty late when I got up so I ate lunch and got myself ready and went for a muscle treatment at 2:00 Friday afternoon. I got back around 3:30 and felt up to do some work so I busied myself with a project that took no more than half an hour. I was so tired when I finished so was resting a bit. At about 4:00 I decided to shower and take a nap before going to the youth activity. I had a good 30 minute nap and felt well enough to go. I had an enjoyable evening, played a game of v-ball then sat around and yakked for a while. Got home a little after 11:00 and by the I felt I would have thought I just came home from a 10 hour work day!!!
Please continue to pray... my patience seems to be getting rather thin as I wait for better times. I find it very hard to happily sit back as I watch my friends and sister party, have fun, go away, etc. I must often remind myself, I've done this for a little over a year, I can do it for a few more months yet,(LW) my party time is coming. I plan to talk to my nurse in Philly on Monday and am hoping to get an appointment there next week.
Thanks for caring! Your prayers, support, and encouragement are just what I need to keep fighting.
