wiped out & Lyme symptoms coming back

I thought things were going pretty well. I've been back doing daily chores, feeding the critters, and it feels like my brain is getting better and better. Yes, I'd have a bartonella or babesia herx at the end of every day....but it wasn't that bad.

This past week started out ok, though I didn't get a break this past weekend. Today has been pretty bad. Lyme knee and shoulder flaring, swollen fingers are back, so is dry mouth and my favorite.....having my leg 'give out' as I'm walking. It wasn't too bad, but its a rude awakening that Lyme is still an issue.

The only real differences are I now have 2 waterers to clean and a little poo to pick up in the moms' areas (don't trust my sister on so many levels). I need to be the one doing this, so I can't delegate it. The good news is we'll have another farm helper one day a week, so I'll get a bit more of a break starting on Saturday.

I'm just really annoyed that this Lyme stuff is coming back, since its been dormant for a while. Grrrrrr.....

All things considered.....I am back to 5-7 hours a day of work/exercise (walking, feeding, etc). Which is good (I can mostly manage) and bad (herxes and fatigue). I have a bunch of computer work to do, but I'm just not up to it...and it has to get done.

I am off my adrenal supplements and herbs, which doesn't help. I get to do my saliva cortisol test this weekend, and as soon as that's done I can start back on those supplements. I think they were doing more than I realized.

Sayya and Mister Mike,

Sorry to hear your having problems. Mister Mike, I've had the shooting pains as well. As for the headaches, maybe you could try the valerian, hops, licorice, or one of the other herbs I suggested? You could also try skullcap. And don't forget fish oil and ginger tea!

Have you tried greatly reducing the C.T.?

It's so frustrating, when you have to keep trying all these different treatments, and you can't find a single one that works well.

Sayya, I wouldn't stop the adrenal herbs, if I were you.

Margaret

Hope you feel strong again soon!

Oh... so my analogy...

We are the Tortoise...
Lyme is the Hare...

We will make the finish line!

Type A and low energy?
Really? Seriously?
Are you being facetious?
I just don't trust my mind today.
