It's Been a Good Day - A little hope for everyone

So, it's my birthday. I decided to treat myself to a manicure and pedicure. Now, just for clarification, I used to ALWAYS get / have my nails done before I got sick. I haven't had them done since October, when I really started going downhill. I have had good days and weeks at times but have been afraid to go because I am so sensitive to EVERYTHING. I was afraid I'd react to the lotions and such. I found an organic salon to be safe (although nail polish isn't organic). And I am fine. I actually feel better than I have in months.

I know this may not last. (I am adding Tinidazole next week and am well aware that it may kick my a**). But for now, I feel pretty good. I truly believe that my life will get back to "normal" again eventually. I finally have hope. I even have hope that maybe, just maybe, the worst is behind me.

For all of you who are struggling today, hang in there. Know that there WILL be good days ahead.

Happy Birthday and so glad you enjoyed your day!!!

Thanks for the positive outlook, I just got home from a stressful day at work ,which caused an increase in symptoms. Your post changed my mood , yes there is a reason for all of us to be hopeful.
Thanks so much and I wish you the best of healing
Take care, Jo

Good days are something to appreciate, as you have, especially on your birthday. Have a great day, and keep looking forward to more. And thanks for the bit of good news.

Thanks, guys. I had a couple really bad weeks last month. Worst I've have in a long time. It was really defeating. I am a teacher, and back in October I had to stop working for the rest of the school year. Last week, I had to tell my boss that I wouldn't be back for next school year either. I am just not stable enough to make that commitment. And it's not fair to the school or kids if I have to leave mid-year again. That was really hard because I love my job, and I love the school where I work. But I finally feel like I've turned a corner.
