Hi everyone,

Quick update for you...I officially started treatment March 7th and I am feeling much much better. I have been on doxy for 3 months while waiting to see LLMD and am now on 100mg doxy 2x/day, 500 mgs ceftin 2x/day +homeopathics +herbs + supplements.

As many of you know my primary symptoms have been neuro and heart (pooooo). Especially this past week I kind of feel like I've woken up from a coma that I've been in the past few years...remembering dreams. when I smell something or see something it will trigger a childhood memory that I forgot about. Its odd. I still have neuro issues that I worry about. When I take a hot bath I still 'feel' my knees but it doesn't appear to be as bad as it was in february.

I also think I need spackle for walls to put on my wavy jacked up toe nails. Seriously it seems like the ridges in my nails are getting worse which I don't really understand but hopefully that will change soon! Is that from nutrient deficiency or lyme??

Anywho, bought a hula hoop today. Next on my list is a skip it. Do they even make those anymore???
Hula hooping got hard!!!

Hi Beth!!!! I think I saw a skip it in ToysRUs! Go for it. My goal tomorrow is walk around the track once. My neighbor is coming with me. Gotta get the body moving more.

Do you have a neurologist? I have one but about to see another that specializes in Lyme.

Not sure about the toe nails. I had fungus under one toe and it started clearing up. I hope the same for you.

Keep us posted! Use that skip it to get your foot ready to kick Lyme and its buddies to the curb! :-)

turn WOO HOO!!! Opugirl is feeling better!! smilewinkgrin I [i[knew it would happen!!!
Congratulations!!!! Happy dance time for sure!!!! yeah

LOL!! I haven't even heard of one in ages!! I'd be flat on my face in no time at all!!! LOL!!! I'm afraid hoola hooping would be pretty hard on me as well right now! LOL! I fell while holding two baby goats - and of course I protected them while I fell, so my lower back is pretty mad at me right now.

The toe nail ridges are a buggar! Mine are still there, but not not very noticeable any more. Hopefully yours will only be a faded memory soon!!

about the toenail fungus - apply tee tree oil every night for about a month or 6 weeks. I did and my 'fungal toe' (as I called it) is back to normal!! :-)

Hey opugirl,

Do you have problems with our adrenals or thyroid? Nail consistency (including toes) can change if the thyroid or adrenals are not functioning correctly.

Congrats on feeling better!! My daughter has that skip it somewhere in the attic!! lol.

Not that I know of. I had my thyroid checked a few weeks ago and it was fine.

Sweeeet. I picked mine up unexpectedly at Target on my Lunch break and I loved it...The girl at the counter was like...what have they done to the skip it....where is the ball??? and the counter??? She was probably a good 7 yrs younger than me but I appreciated that she had the same rxn I did. I'm going to try it out tonight crazy lights and all if I have the energy.

opugirl,

I am so happy for you that you are feeling so much better! I knew when i first started reading your posts that you were too feisty to let this illness beat you. Dance the sick away! It helps detoxing, body temperature, and blood flow as well.
