JOURNAL ENTRY THREE
This week had its share of challenges. I completely rebelled, Lyme won the arm wrestle. Caution: For those who did not read last week. Lyme is prevalent in America, Canada, Germany and many other countries are seeing an increase. Lyme Disease can take one to three years out of your life. I know many of you don’t care to use DEET, neither do I. DEET is the only product protecting you from ticks. Any area where there are trees, tall grass or any other shrubbery is where ticks hang out other than pets. You can think it’s perfectly safe, your pets can bring them right to you. Use a spray DEET or sunscreen with DEET. If out enjoying mother nature dress accordingly, tall socks, long pants and long sleeve shirts. If the temperatures are smoldering, cover yourself in DEET spray or sunscreen.
* I’m sick of taking supplements. I haven’t taken them all week. The numbers of Rx meds taken daily is enough without extra supplement pills.
* The neuropathy was worse this week. My legs experienced more needle stabs. Hands, legs and feet went numb if sitting for more than a few minutes.
* Lab took 24 vials of blood Saturday.
* I was scheduled Wednesday for a day of testing, to ill to keep appointment.
* Experienced a strange eye issue. The peripheral vision was cloudy, the cloud created a small hole allowing me to see looking forward.
* The nausea is an ongoing issue, carrying a bag of cereal is my defense.
* I was very tired this week, which brings on more symptoms. I was very cranky. :(
* The edema is back in my feet up to the shin. The skin is tight and red. The pain is magnified when I hit my feet on something.
* Seizures are happening during the day, not bad as nighttime seizures.
* I broke out in hives for a day due to stress.
* Massive headaches come and go daily. A step under Migraines.
I’m looking forward with a positive attitude knowing the doctors orders are the way to healthiness. I will fake it until I make it. Thank you for the outpouring of love and support last week. Every comment lifts my spirit. Have a Blessed weekend.

I didn’t know it was that bad! You are incredibly strong… When you visit me, I’ll serve scotch, the wine it’s too light for you :)
I hope you get better soon. Sending good energy your way!

Hello my crazy beautiful friend,
I tried to reply to your post and comments Saturday, my mind was out of it. Somehow I kept hitting the delete button on my comment. Each time it took about 5 minutes to write, after three I decided to try another day. It’s the IPad’s fault, I can’t stand typing on them. I have to tell you…..I hate the smell of scotch, no way I could drink it. I’ll just have to drink extra glasses of wine. I quit drinking so long ago, I’d be a cheap date. Good entertainment though. Some days a much worse than others. Mondays are tough because I tend to do to much on weekends. All the things, like laundry get done in two days. My husband helps. As you can imagine, he needs time to run all the other errands. We would get in so much trouble, there would be a trail behind us!!!!!!!

Don’t worry about replying on time :) (I lack of it lately!).
I’m a cheap date too. I drink really seldom. I guess that with one bottle we’ll be dancing on the table :)
I’m sorry your Mondays are tough. Try not to do much (follow my example :)))).

Keep fighting this! I can see the edema in my mind…sending love and light…all of this is painful-and with meds and supplements, well, I would probably need a reward chart to motivate me to take them! I am a med rebel…and I can hear the voice of my doctor saying”brush teeth-take pills”.

Sending light and love, I’ve pulled two ticks off the cats this spring/summer already. Nasty buggers. Be brave, be strong and know that were there with you to give support or a simple smile;)

Thank you for the kind words. Your smile lights up my afternoon. I’m so glad you looked on your cats, many would not think to check a cat. You are very smart. Nasty buggers they are! Have a great weekend. :)

If you catch it early the treatment is a couple of days maybe a week of antibiotics. Glad she found it in time. It’s not fun, it’s my new life now. I survive the pain or die, I’ll take alive for 15 points. HaHaHa! :)
