Lyme Disease Support Group
Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. It is now one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the U.S. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, and is primarily transmitted to humans as well as dogs, horses and other domesticated animals by the bite of infected ticks.
Since I started my antibiotic Doxycycline 100 a week ago I have literally felt like hell. My symptoms became amplified and I was feeling devastated.
I've been meditating and reading positive affirmations.
This morning I awoke feeling not amazing but better than I have. I think I may have overdone it. I actually felt little pain and no vertigo and I had energy. So I decided to clean up around the house and invite a friend over. Was awesome to socialize in person. They left after 2 hours, they said I looked exhausted. I didn't want them to leave but agreed perhaps a nap might be a good thing. I took a hour and half nap and woke up like my feeling good was just a dream. SHUCKS what an awesome dream (although it was real). Now my head is pounding, vertigo, the numbness in my face back. the heaviness on my chest and twinges of pain everywhere have returned.
Bottom line I believe I'm getting better. I think this was just a taste of the positive getting well, I am going to experience.
Rest this evening and tonight and tomorrow is a new day full of hope.

That's what counts. They will build on one another.
For me, they don't always come all in a row. But when they do
come , they're something to be enjoyed and something to be most
grateful for.
I'm not taking doxy right now. I've read many affirmations and
many inspring books. I believe all of these things help us on our
journey to staying and feeling well.
Hang in there... Even a 1/2 of a day where you can feel normal is AWESOME!
I'm 24 or 25 days into my antibiotic treatment. Of course I can't remember without getting out a calendar but I'm sure you understand my memory problems:-)
I didn't think I was having much relief yet but I'm saying that while sitting on my sofa typing this instead of my bed so yes, there is some relief. You will get there too....
Maybe not the jump up, plant spring flowers kinda feel good energy but getting out of the bed feels good for today and I will take that over sitting in the bed in a dark room typing this.
BUT, I'm not going to lie, it would be awesome to get my hands in the dirt and plant some beautiful blooming flowers. I'm looking forward to that day.
BUT, hang in there. Let your body heal and detox out those toxins from your antibiotics:-) That is SO important while you are killing off the bacteria... SENDING YOU A HUG!
