This Week's Update

So, I think I'm getting worse. My fatigue has been so bad I get out of breath walking from my bedroom into my kitchen, and the weakness in my arms and legs makes them feel like they weigh 50 pounds each. I think I am feeling better about all of this than I was last week, for sure. Thank goodness that that's getting better. I am trying to remember what my doctor said about my getting worse before I get better...getting really sick means that the treatments are working! Woo Hoo!! I have another doctors appointment with my specialist in Seattle on Monday, so I may have another update at that point. 

My sister-in-law discovered a tick crawling on her two-year-old's jacket last week, during an outing only a few minutes from their house. Because they are aware of what has been going on with me, they understand the danger associated with ticks. Ticks can be found anywhere there are deer, particularly areas that get a decent amount of rainfall. For more information on how to avoid a tick bite and possible exposure to Lyme, read through my previous post, "An Ounce of Prevention." I am making it one of my personal missions to help other people avoid having to deal with what I'm going through right now. Please take a moment to read through it!
