I am very hesitant to write this. I know each time there is positive news that comes the people on this website, it brings hope to others. But what happens when we report the bad stuff? I fear it does the same.
I have been feeling better lately. Yet, yesterday my family went to a campground for Father's day. My cousins pressured me to play some basketball. Half-court, light game. I found myself out of breath and dizzy at times but I made it through the game. I had a midly active day. I ended up pretty tired last night and a wee bit achy and sore feet (something that has been common lately, and was there in the beginning of my flare up this past march)
Well, today. I have been exhausted all day. Sore all day, feet and hands were stiff, painful and sore. My head felt hot, on the verge on headache. I did fall asleep during the day, lying in bed with no energy.
Its so depressing. I know I over did it yesterday but I honestly thought I was getting better. And maybe I am. But today was a setback in my mind. I want to cry but dont have the energy to bother with the emotional release. I pray tomorrow is better. With the cloudy skies outside, its pretty dark inside my room, and inside my head.
As I said in a Twitter earlier, I was life was more like comic books and diseases came with super powers.

And how easy it is to cry when you read the first 3 lines of My Body Has Betrayed Me on http://www.lymeawarenessartproject...

Hi there. Try not to beat yourself up. There are lapses here and there on the recovery road but rarely total relapses. Hang in there! You can heal from this. When this happened to me, I just tried to push through as best I could and minimize its impact on my attitude. Pushing through surprisingly worked! Keep going. You'll come through and be stronger because of it.

Hi Matty. You are getting better. By the way, my LLMD told me not to engage in aerobic activities while in treatment for Lyme. I think you did and over did. Keep the faith. There's no such thing as a straight course. It is tough to backslide just when you're feeling better. But you can feel better and you did, and you have proof and you will again soon. Take care of yourself.
