still dealing with symptoms

This week has been mixed. I lived with a low grade fever for two weeks prior and it finally broke a couple of days ago. It is hard to imagine, I know, that a 1-2 degree temp. can slow you down to a crawl, but it is true. I have been 'on holiday' for the past two weeks from my Lyme meds, so my immune system has been getting a work out. I believe it handled things pretty well this time around, although obviously I still have an infection to deal with. It's like your mom or doctor used to say: a fever is your own body's way of fighting an infection by itself. Let it run it's course so it can do it's job. I did, and it did eventually go away. I remember with way too much clarity the YEARS I spent with fevers that lasted 6-10 weeks at a time, and no one took it seriously. I rarely had a fever break. It was awful. At that time I was full of pain in all my joints and could hardly walk, or eat, at all. So, in retrospect, I guess a two week fever, on holiday, in not all that bad. I go see my D.C. doc soon.
