One thing about Lyme disease I can't push myself through is the fatigue. I have been so tired all week! It seems no matter what I do, or what I eat (keeping my limited choices in mind) I can't seem to perk up. Naps are no help either.
On the plus side, I've only had a little pain, mostly in my head.
We brought Jeffrey to a doctor who has lots of experience with pediatric lyme. We're waiting for the test results, it will be a couple of weeks. I'm praying that the tests are 100% negative... but I don't think that will happen.
Life's never easy. Mine has been completely changed by my battle with chronic Lyme disease and all the challenges that go along with it. In addition, I am doing my best to follow God's call on my life to be a Deacon who educates around and acts for social justice in a church that doesn't always understand what that means. Join me on my journey.

I hate Lyme Disease! I want my life back!
I've started on my "summer meds", so my whole body is going wacko again. I spent yesterday having a major depressive episode, I apparently cried for hours on end, yelled at my family, and I don't even know what else. All I remember was being curled up in a ball wishing I was dead, I felt so awful.
So, I didn't take my meds yesterday. I called the Dr. today and he said it's probably not the Rx but something else (maybe I over did it on Saturday)... but told me to reduce the amount I take anyway, at least for now.
This comes after a month of feeling good and getting my hopes up again that I was actually getting better. Obviously not. I obviously have a long way to go. DAMN!
