Hey Everyone,
I haven't posted in a while. I've been riding the herx waves and slowly (I believe) trending upward.

That is, until I sprained my ankle last night. I'm so unsteady at times, I just lost my balance unexpectedly, going down some steps, and there you go! I wish I could say I slipped on some ice, but no.

I know it's not the worst thing, but life did seem so much simpler yesterday when I just had lyme disease, and could, you know, walk.

So, I'm continuing to rest, ice, and elevate. Such a bummer. My pain threshold is in the toilet, so it's hard to tell how my ankle is actually doing. This will just take a little more time.

Sorry to hear about the sprain.

I just wanted to warn you that it could take longer than normal to heal.

I believe because Lyme loves to hide in muscles and nibble away at the collagen,it compromises the healing process.

I ran into my bedroom wall last January and broke 3 toes,now this wasn't the first time that I had broken my toes,but it took about 3 times longer to recover than previously.

So,please be careful and try not to overuse your foot.

Hope you feel better soon.

Oh, Miss Klemenz!! I'm so sorry to hear this!! And on top of everything else! I'm really glad to hear that it wasn't worse since you were on stairs! I probably would have gone head first down the stairs as well!

I do hope that the pain comes under control soon and you are back up on your feet quickly!
