Ode To Lyme

                                    Ode To Lyme

          "I'm tired"

          "Oh, I get tired too "

         My neck hurts

         oh, I know how that is, I hurt my neck last year.

        My joints hurt

        I have arthritis in my knee

        I get heart palpitations

        I get them too

        I keep having low grade fevers.

        My kid has a fever

        I feel like I have the flu.

        I had that a little while ago.

        I can't remember

        I forget things all the time

        At the same time I feel like I just want to sit and stare, can't get up to get a drink for
        45 minutes; have shoulder, arm, finger, and leg spasms. I hit the wall of fatigue and
       sleep.

        I don't

        I know.

Flu with a twist of Lyme

I've been out sick for the past week. I still don't feel like it's gone completely. It is true that symptoms of Lyme become more obvious at times of stress. The flu is stress. So I ended up with some kind of misery for three days and the rest of the time not having the stamina to do much of anything. When I questioned my doctor at my apt. last week about how stress brings out symptoms I haven't felt in a long time. Basically he reminded me we are still dealing with bio-films.  I'm assuming they are the same bio-films I'll be dealing with for a long time.
