Welcome!

Those of us with chronic/sero-negative/neurological lyme are struggling to get our voices heard! Talking to eachother is the only way to know we aren't alone. Hopefully that will change in the VERY near future. Living with lyme is a daily struggle that makes the simplest tasks nearly impossible some days. Follow along with me on my journey and please share your journey in return.

Feeling neglected?

So I've been neglecting this blog.  Right after the holidays I visited my lyme doctor and he changed my meds which means I'm hexing, flaring, having a reaction....whatever you would like to call it.  For the last couple weeks I've neglected everything so it's no surprise.  My to-do list is getting rather long.

The one thing I've been trying to NOT neglect is my health.  I've been trying to eat right, lose some weight and exercise whenever possible.  The exercise thing is a challenge since when I do feel well enough to do it, I usually pay for it later by not being able to walk, but it gets done.  I don't know if it's better to push myself or continue to just lay on the couch....there is no happy medium.  Laying on the couch seems like a bad idea.  I'm afraid I will just get worse and worse and weaker and weaker.

I've been watching what I eat since the middle of December and I'm down 15lbs so that is looking up!  Gaining all the weight after getting sick can't possibly be helping especially having diabetes and early onset heart disease runs in my family (my dad had his first angioplasty at 38 and I'm currently 32).

However, last Wednesday I did happen to feel well and decided in celebration of my birthday I would get a tattoo.  It says "Believe" and is a reminder to believe in myself and believe I will get better!  Hopefully I can truly take that message to heart!
