Linda S!!! Good morning to you. So sorry that you have been up so early. I see lots of coffee in tour future! :tea:
Your weekend sounds perfect!! I hope that nothing pops up unexpectedly and you and Shaun can stay in pj's until Monday morning
How awesome to be able to go to Nice and maybe see our Dumpty! Thank goodness that something good came out of that awful trip home. I wish I was in HI with Terry and all of you too.
So the dr's appt... *sigh* I just never know what to do. Or how to feel.
She wants Gary back on IV abx. He really doesn't want to do that, and I can't say that I blame him. He did see some improvement on it bit not so much that he feels that having a tube running through his vein to his heart is worth it. I can see that. It is a health risk too. Then I think of the cost :faint: I mean, we will do whatever we have to do. I hear of Lyme patients who are tens of thousand of dollars in medical debt. We are still under $10,000 so maybe thats good? ha.
I don't know, just so crazy.....I should NOT have to consider cost on trying to get my family healthy. Dr also wants Gary methylchelation protocal which is another $100/month, and when he told her he couldn't afford the extra, I looked at him and said, "This visit alone is $700, what's another $100??"
The good news is that he is showing more bands on his blood work every time we go and that means his immune system is now recognizing the bacteria as bad and is beginning to be capable of fighting them.
As for me, she is adding meds to help me sleep. Since my lyme seems to be more neurological, I have a lot of nerves misfiring. The sleep issues are that the nerves in my brain are overactive. I started taking neurontin at bedtime and this morning I still feel a bit foggy. I slept really good but I think I might need to take a lower dose. Do you know that feeling when you ut on a pair of glasses that are the wrong prescription, that is how I feel right now. Very odd. But at least I am not super-exhausted.Guess that is good. She is alo trying a med for my inflammatory response, Imy ANA/rheumatoid factors are coming down, but are still high. She doesn;t want to start treating me for Rheum Arthritis yet, but if the numbers/symptoms don't come down we might have to. They are immuno-suppressors which is bad for lyme.
Eek, enough of the med stuff. I just told you all more than I told my mom when she asked. LOL
Today is going to be a really busy day. I have to babysit this morning, off to clean. Then we have to get Scott from school early and bring him to the county courthouse. The trial is most likely going to start on Tuesday so they want to have him prepped and ready to go today. For those who don't know, Scott is a witness in a trial for a friend who was being molested by her stepfather. Been a little worrisome and but also very proud of him.
After that, we are picking up his GF and then going to my mom's lake house for the weekend. Cait's BFF was also supposed to go but she is sick. It should be a lot of fun. I know I could use a little bit of my mom's pampering.
I ams so late and fuzzy that I can't promise to get to everyone's posts from yesterday. But know that I love you all!!!
ound: I would adopt you and your kitties in a heartbeat.
