Hey guys...i havn't posted in a while...why you ask? Well I have been feeling so good lately that I've been living life! Ok ok, I dont want to get ahead of myself BUT...I have been symptom free (well 90%) for the past two months.
My LLMD started me on a VERY aggressive antibiotic regimen back in January. I was so sick most of Jan and Feb, but slowly started to come out of it in March...I seriously never thought I would feel normal again. I had lost all hope, and basically resigned my self to the fact that I would be sick forever. i know it sounds dramatic, but we've all been there right?
Anyhow...I had my phone appointment with my LLMD a couple weeks ago ( i live in Canada, 6 hr drive to see her ). She says I am doing remarkably well and to continue the meds until I see her in July and then she may switch me to some herbals and low dose abx.
I want everyone here to know that there is light at the end of this dark dark tunnel! I was scared to death to start all these meds everyday, praying that I would feel just a little bit better.
Please please, for all those out there that are having a rough day, week, or month...please don't give up hope. I am living proof that treatment can and does work....It's still early days for me but I have never had this much hope that I will beat this !!
I will never ever abandon this board, or the friendships I have made here. You guys kept me sane and honestly saved my life. I will pay it forward and am going to advocate for all Canadians that are going through the struggle I did to get health care for this nasty disease.
Love and healing wishes to all.
