Revisiting Lyme...

So for the past few months, my arthritis has been getting worse and my energy has been low.  My doctor ruled out every autoimmune disease known to man (well pretty much anyhow) so he wants to revisit the Lyme disease.  Chances are, apparently, very good that the infection was never gone and is reactivating. he ran another Igexex western blot and I am waiting on the results now.  The good news is, he recently went to a Lyme conference and has learned about some new treatment protocols, that may actually work. Research is showing that for long standing infections, the usual doxy/plaquenil doesn't actually work long term.  This stupid spirochete is too good at hiding from the antibiotics.

In the meantime I am continuing on with my plans and life.  I manage to keep active and in Karate class by taking Cataflam for the arthritis pain, and coffee for the lack of energy.  So far, so good.  I am working on getting more sleep too.  I am slowly losing weight, I am down about 30 lbs so far with 20-30 more to go.  Low carb is a good thing!

We've found a good church home in Southpoint Huron, whats not to love about a church where the pastor is also a Tang Soo Do 7th Dan Master!  We fit right in for the first time in, well, maybe ever.  It helps us feel like we have a family again after losing most of ours. We are getting more into the PKSA franchise research, and tonight I am helping out another school owner and teaching her kidspower classes since her usual instructor has to work.

All in all things are good.
