Healing begins....?

I have had an appointment each day this week (excluding today).  It's crazy how much being out of the house for a couple hours can take out of me.  Yesterday I had a dental appointment.  When I got home  I struggled to prepare lunch and then passed out before I finished eating it.  It doesn't help that the gluten free wraps I bought aren't all that tasty.  I managed to wake up from my nap like 5 hours later, so that's good.  It sometimes feels like a fight to get out of dream land.  Sleeping makes me all stiff and numb.  It freaks me out when I wake up and I can't feel my hands.  Especially when it's difficult to move them.  

I met with the Lyme doctor.  She does think I have Lyme, and suspects I have co infections Babesia and Bartonella as well.  She sent away for an Igenex western blot, which will come back in 3 weeks.  My follow up is April 30.  She wants me to try and get my primary care to test for other things as well, like mycoplasmic pneumonia.  I have a chronic cough that she doesn't think is Lyme - but it is on a lyme symptom list I saw.  I haven't been taking my temperature but I think I'll start.  When I was in her office I had a temp of 100.5.  She took it three times.

I started antibiotics yesterday -  Hydroxychloroquin and clarithromycin.  Dr. H also recommended that I start taking fish oil (1000mg EPA +DPA) for inflammation and curcumin phytosome for memory (of course, I'm not sure if I mentioned it but I can't remember shit right now, hoping this blog will help).  Also a 10 billion + probiotic. My friend recommended Green Vibrance powder and Saccharomyces Boulardii so I ordered those on Amazon, and purchased another probiotic at GNC for the meantime.  I just spent $200 on supplements.  *cry*

Today I managed to get up early and cook an awesome breakfast - sweet potato hash with bacon! Then I napped until 12:30.  My feet, hips and knees aren't too bad today so I'm going to attempt a hike.  Willa needs it.  It hopefully won't do me in for the day, as I'd like to see some people later.  Sanity maintenance, you understand.
