Bounced Back
So I wanted to write since I'm not going to treatment next week. My "episodes" of Lyme symptoms are definitely present, but not as frequent and not as severe. I've been keeping a chart and I seem to be having equal amount of bad days and "good days". It used to be 100% bad days, then went to 75% bad days and now it seems to be 50/50. That's 5 months of weekly treatments in. I painted my nails and put makeup on recently and I am actually thinking about getting my hair done. When you are critically and chronically ill, these types of somewhat superficial things are the furthest thing from your mind. This morning was very bad but now I'm doing much better and yesterday was a pretty consistently good day. Generally I'm 30% better with moments of 50 and 60. I know I'll never be 100% and I'm fine with that. I can function and maintain a semi-normal life at a consistent 60-70% which I'm not there yet. The fact that I know now how badly my hiatal hernia is affecting me has been helping me to deal with symptoms better mentally and physically. Lyme symptoms are still near impossible to understand but at least I know when I'm herxing and when I'm not. I hope backing off on treatments is ok. I'm not 100% on the paleo diet anymore but I am definitely sugar gluten yeast soy dairy wheat free and try to always eat things that say 100% or Organic or GMO free. I eat lots of natural sugars lately from fruit and have tons of coconut milk and coconut oil all the time. I'm back and forth about eggs 'cause they have pros and cons for me. I ONLY eat free range organic eggs, though. I have not been taking any supplements but I really should. I've been so lax on them which is bad. I need too better at that. I want to start taking organic plant protein powder. I just need to find a good one.
