September Lyme Check-up

We had our Lyme check-up yesterday. Here's how it went.

Christopher: Doing well, but got some excercised for his knees. They're already helping.

Andrew: His thyroid was enlarged, so the doc ordered bloodwork.

Matthew: Suffering from major allergies! He gave him some meds in hopes it will help his little body deal with it better. Matthew never naps, but he's been doing nothing but laying around and sometimes napping when he gets home from school.

Garrison: He's been complaining with sudden pains with no obvious cause. His appetite, sleeping, bowel, energy patterns are still very irregular. Doc says its not good. All sure signs of Lyme. He wants me to start giving him Silverbiotics and probiotics everyday for now.

Me: I'm still so sick. The antibiotic I started taking for the strep caused my sinuses to start a water-fall into my respiratory system, creating major havoc. He listened to every inch of my lungs and said everything is reactive to this recent illness. He wants me to rest as much as possible. I think he'd keep me home from work if he had a way to do it. Told me to rest during the day as much as possible. My chest hurts. He gave me tussionex for night (cough), and an inhaler for the daytime. I also got in trouble for stopping my Armour thyroid and hydrocortisone. I can't help but wonder if the Armour is causing my headaches. I think they are, but I'm going back on it for now.

I have to admit that I'm pretty discouraged and a bit depressed. It seems like such a never-ending thing. My house is a mess and driving me nuts, I'm behind on my writing, I wish I had more energy to do more family stuff, and I'm just so tired. I know the depression will lift when I get over this hump, but I just really feel alone and have no help at the present. I'm wishing my mom lived next door.

Ok...enough babbling on and complaining. I know God will get me through once again...I just needed to get this out so it will quit rolling around in my head. TTFN!
