I finished my antibiotic treatment for this month. It seemed like a tough one. I have felt too much like a chemo patient to do much of anything. Fatigue reared its ugly head, as did the 'sit and stare' episodes. I felt weak and dropped a lot of things. I have lost a number of casserole dishes during these times.
Dr. J also changed a pain medicine and that took a while to titrate up to a useful amount. This made a me little nauseous at times.
I took a lot of naps. I always felt a little more energetic after my nap. I had been able to be active until about 3-4 in the afternoon, and went to napping by 1:00. I haven't experienced that kind of fatigue in a long time. Sometime during the IV treatment it stopped.
I still feel good in an important way. I feel overall better than than in a very long time. I know I am down to fighting biofilms. Other bacteria and parasites have been cleared for the most part. I can have a break out of symptoms when the spirochetes exit the biofilms and party in my body. I still need to watch when symptoms flare. I'd love to get to the point where I treat myself just at times when I am experiencing symptoms.
Now I am on vacation, or 'holiday' from treatment for the next 2 weeks. During this time I will be sure to detox and use my supplements so my own immune system can get stronger. The less symptoms during holiday the better. It means your body is holding up on it's own. I just need that to be happening all the time.
I am getting there, and I know that.
