Drug Free

As a preliminary to my next anointment with my LLMD, he asked me to go off all drugs for two weeks. One of the difficult things to know about Lyme is simply "are you cured?" Are your symptoms permanent damage done by the disease or a result of an ongoing infection? Getting of the drugs for two weeks is part of the diagnosis. I have therefore tried to pay close attention to my symptoms these past two weeks and my appointment is tomorrow.

Two days off drugs and I felt awful, as bad as I had ever been, however soon afterward (a day or two) I felt quite better and as good as I had since the start of my dizziness 9 months ago. that continued for the majority of the time. I was hopeful that I was at least disease free and could focus on repairing some of the damage done. 

Now, I am not sure. The past few days have not been good, Heart palpitations, increased ear ringing, nausea have all been returning. 

I believe I have a longer road to travel to a cure. I will post an update after my appointment tomorrow.

Please keep me and our family in your prayers.
