Just a quick check in with you all. I continue to thank you for your support and concerns. I have now been gluten free for a month as of today. It has gotten easier for me than it has my husband I think. In some ways he has been forced to convert too. He still gets to enjoy the double cheese burger while I have my salad, but he is very supportive in making sure that wherever he gets that burger that they have healthier and gluten free options. I haven't even missed it like I thought I would. Except donuts. I barely even ate the things before, now I can't get them off my mind. My heartburn is gone as well. I have also shed 10 lbs total.
After enjoying a few weeks of no pain, I am here to report that it has slowly started to come back. Mainly in the joints. I had chest spasms so bad yesterday that it still hurts to breath. My skin feels burned to the touch and the only comfort I can get is to lay on my stomach. I will talk to my doc next week about increasing my Neurontin. Next week is when the real fun begins. This past month has been the prepping period and now we get down to the nitty gritty. Yes, the week before Thanksgiving. I just hope it's not another Thanksgiving in bed like last year. I also have an appointment with a Neurologist in the Dallas area as well that specializes in Lyme. My doc referred me to her and wants to rule out the beginnings of MS. I probably mentioned that in a previous post. We repeat ourselves a lot or just flat out forget so this may be a pattern you will see in the future so I apologize in advance. We repeat ourselves a lot or just flat out.....Now THAT was funny. A little?
To all the deer hunters remember to have your loved ones check you for ticks.
I also want to send a huge thank you to the guys that work with my husband at the Texas City Police Department. Every year they give to the United Way and they designate what organization they want to give to. This year my husband had the United Way add Texas Lyme Disease Association (TxLDA) to the list. He was informed that at least 15 of his fellow co-workers designated TxLDA as their choice for their donation. It is anonymous, so I have no way of know who, but it warms my heart greatly to know this was done. So, with that I send a thank you and a good night.
