Preparing For My Appointment

  Today I will start putting together the information I will need for next weeks apt. with my Lyme doctor. We will travel to D.C. on Sunday, have the day Monday, then head back home Tuesday after my morning appointment. It is a lot just to take the quick trip, and my good husband does all the driving. Yes, I can still drive, but in the past I have gotten so tired driving I have had to pull over and sleep. A few times I fell asleep at the wheel for a second. One time, I fell asleep while my husband was with me (after a long day at the beach, before treatment). He had to grab the wheel. Thank God he was there, because we had our two kids in the back seat. Needless to say he took over the wheel. Since then, well, let's say he is cautious, and leave it at that.
   I always prepare  by writing down my endless questions, my med list, my supplement list, and my herb list. I bring my journal to be able to report accurately the symptoms I have been experiencing. The symptoms have decreased dramatically since I first began with him in January of 2011. This is a great encouragement. Fortunately, he takes his time to answer questions and explain to us what is happening inside my body.
   So I press on.
