Busy Week

Well, we've had another busy week, but I actually made it through pretty easily so it's been a nice change of pace. I'm tired at this point, but still doing well.

I really think that the new supplements are helping so I'm still anxious to start the next ones and hopefully continue to see more & more improvements, although I am still concerned about how I will respond to the abx treatments for the Lyme. A lot of people get worse before they get better, and can herx similarly to going through chemotherapy, but you never know, I may do alright since I'm in good hands with a great naturopath. I really think that when you treat the whole body, you have a better chance at making a stronger recovery. There may not be a cure, but it is possible to beat it into remission and hold it there..... that's my goal anyway.

I go back to the LLMD on Monday morning so I'll have a better update after that.

My eye appointment went well. Everything is pretty much the same so the eye pains and whatnot are most likely due to a combination between my thyroid levels being so messed up and of course the Lyme. My Rx is still the same, at least for long distance so I don't need to get new glasses for that, although he did the exact same thing again, and dilated my eyes before checking my near vision so I have to go back in to recheck that. Leave it to those KP doctors........ *rolls eyes* My optic nerves look good so we're not worried about the high-risk glaucoma category I fall into. I'm still testing high for pressure, but otherwise seem fine in that area.

Ashley had her well-checkup. I guess they still call it that even though she's 9 years old, LOL. She measured in the 25th percentiles for both height & weight. So that's come up from being in only the 5th percentile the last time she was checked. It is believed that it has everything to do with her NF. Shorter stature is common. It's been harder for her because both of her sisters have always been in the 95th percentile. Both, are a good foot taller than she is. They have been growing like weeds. I just do my best to keep her self-esteen built up and remind her how very special she is. That she's just exactly the way God made her, and some of the most wonderful things come in smaller packages. *wink*
