New meds for me yippee

Well the trip up north to my LLMD went off without a hitch. Flew by myself, rented a car and drove from Ohio to PA all by my little self! And I didn't get lost. But the credit goes to God and the GPS. Told hubs we needed one for my truck. I plan on traveling up there by myself starting next year and it would make me feel tons safer. Anywho seems I tested positive on the IGG test. I think this test I actually will be counted for in my state towards person who has lyme. I could totally be mistaken but anyway this is 3rd test that says I have Lyme so pretty safe to say I really have it hahahaha. But the good news is no co infections which is really unheard of with Lyme. I am so thankful believe me!

I have been put on 250mg Azithromycin twice a day along with still being on Doxycycline at 200mg twice a day. No side effects so far. Think I am herxing from the Azith. Have rash back on stomach and horrible stomach pains. Really hope that goes away. I really need to get back to walking daily on treadmill. I have been so sick for many months that it is hard to even get up out of bed or the couch. But here is to upward and onward!

Pain is very bad

I have had neck and shoulder issues in past but they have really flared up since I have started back with the antibiotics. Was reading tonight how pain between shoulder blades and beneath shoulder blades is a typical toxin storage place. Yipee for me. But also that pain in this area can be from gall bladder. Good grief. It feels so inflamed right now. The shoulder that is. I hope that I can sleep some. I am exhausted.

Stomach pains from hell oi vey!

Good grief. Been up and down all night with horrible stomach pains. Also alternating between hot and cold sweats. Wake up still sick at stomach and eyes hurt. Eyelids are swollen. Yipee. That was something that had gone away but now is back. I expect all the weird symptoms to come back as I am herxing. It is to be expected and I am trying not to get discouraged. I have a life to live and I have things to do but all I want to do is sleep from this bone crushing fatigue. I pray to God to get me through today and protect me as I travel around town running my errands. Amen!

Looking in mirror and don't like what I see

The dark circles under my eyes are really bad. I haven't looked like this in a long time. I am exhausted and all I want to do is sleep. The doxy is really killing the bugs and making me herx. The neck and back pain are at times unbearable. But just have to push through and hope eventually it will get better. Or at least that is what I am telling myself lol

On to the next antibiotic

Well the Biaxin was a bust. Severe runs. Not fun. So now I am on 200mg 2x a day of doxy. This is day four and I have hit the herx wall. The fatigue is horrible as is pain and damn leg spasams or what they call restless leg syndome. Have had it off and on and my dad has it but it really was bad tonight. Hope to get some sleep as last couple nights haven't been too great. I know the herx is the sign that its killing bugs and all that happy horsecrap but I felt pretty good on the Biaxin now just feel like crap. I have so much to do as we are having stuff done to house and I need energy to get through the next couple of months. I guess it will all work out as it usually does. Look forward to LLMD visit this month to see what else if anything they have found from my tests.
