Today I Feel Exceptionally....: stalled
http://todayifeelexceptionally.blogspot.com/2015/02/stalled.html
Today I Feel Exceptionally. Wednesday, February 11, 2015. It's been a while. But the good news is, I'm no longer on IV antibiotics! I've graduated to orals. I've still got my trusty line in, though and I'm using it for Lactated Ringer's solution to help flush out and detoxify. I already have a month of oral antibiotics under my belt and I'm underway with my second month. And like a stalled car just trying to start I feel like I'm screaming at my immune system to please kick in and start! I'm thankful my ...

Today I Feel Exceptionally....: stunned
http://todayifeelexceptionally.blogspot.com/2014/11/stunned.html
Today I Feel Exceptionally. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. I'm not there yet. Not there, almost there, but - NOT there. In fact, I'm so-close-but-not-quite-there. That I have to do ANOTHER month of IV. Dr. J misinformed us last appointment that I was done. OH how sad I am. THAT is why I feel a bit sucker-punched. More time to infuse are in my future. I might still be grieving a bit). But will the Lord sustain us through this and however much longer we have to go through IV antibiotics? I prayerfully hope th...

Today I Feel Exceptionally....: My Lyme Story
http://todayifeelexceptionally.blogspot.com/p/my-lyme-story.html
Today I Feel Exceptionally. If you want to get to the diagnosis part without the history just scroll down to. Make a point of meeting there for a weekend each summer to camp, hike, and enjoy God's creation. Well, a few years or so passed. I had some tummy troubles (but what kid doesn't? And I wasn't really deterred from kidlife much by it. So she tried not to worry about it. And from what she knew about Lyme disease back then, the time frame had passed on which to worry about it being the cause. In June ...

Today I Feel Exceptionally....: April 2015
http://todayifeelexceptionally.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Today I Feel Exceptionally. Monday, April 20, 2015. Like it's coming out. This is the week that Lord willing my PowerLine will be coming out. Just a couple more Lactated Ringer's solution drips through the line and then it'll be bye-bye. It's been about a year since it's been in and it did help me a lot. Of course I'm still working hard to get well, but going through IV was a big push in the right direction. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). How do you feel today? To get the full introduction :). Bring by some...

Today I Feel Exceptionally....: Like the end
http://todayifeelexceptionally.blogspot.com/2014/11/like-end.html
Today I Feel Exceptionally. Friday, November 14, 2014. But paid the price in my poor body's energy reserve. Got my meds, spent, utterly exhausted - and it hit me - I had ONE more infusion to go. ONE more antibiotic infusion to go. I teared up and decided I deserved a celebration drink - Starbucks was on the way out of the store so I stopped for my favorite drink - a decaf Americano. I could hardly get my order out through the lump in my throat. I sat in the car for a minute and sipped my drink and cried ...

Today I Feel Exceptionally....: wiped out
http://todayifeelexceptionally.blogspot.com/2012/01/wiped-out.html
Today I Feel Exceptionally. Friday, January 6, 2012. So some of you know that just two days ago I was admitted to the hospital. I hate going to the hospital, probably like many of you. Lymies hate going because a lot of the time we know better what our bodies are doing than the doctors do. I usually wait and wait until I think it's a serious enough problem to be seen. Well, this time I didn't want to mess around. While waiting to be taken for an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart), I had a "seizure"...

Today I Feel Exceptionally....: like a dog is more important than me
http://todayifeelexceptionally.blogspot.com/2011/10/like-dog-is-more-important-than-me.html
Today I Feel Exceptionally. Monday, October 17, 2011. Like a dog is more important than me. Here's the CDC's map of where the Deer Tick can be found. They basically say that if you're not from around those areas, there's NO way you could have Lyme disease. Even this map is quite generous in my experience with doctors. (BTW, I was bit in Northern California and so were other dear ones I know who are very ill). So you know, I've been praying for you fellow Lymies a lot! October 17, 2011 at 1:16 PM. I feel ...

Today I Feel Exceptionally....: ice-picked
http://todayifeelexceptionally.blogspot.com/2012/10/ice-picked.html
Today I Feel Exceptionally. Tuesday, October 23, 2012. So treatment is plugging along. My Lyme doctor pulses antibiotics and each "cycle" targets certain co-infections of Lyme. We trudge on. Recently, I started some Bartonella treatment. Remember those red spots. I started treatment and I got about 100 more of those spots as I dealt with killing the bacteria. But it comes and goes and is awful! Rapid relapse off abx. Immediate illness following tick bite. No response to previous abx. I feel like one of t...

Today I Feel Exceptionally....: August 2014
http://todayifeelexceptionally.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Today I Feel Exceptionally. Friday, August 29, 2014. Wiped to the bone. Chemotherapy" they said. "You're not experiencing a breakthrough because IV antibiotics for Lyme is exactly like chemotherapy. It tears you down and wipes you out. You won't feel better until AFTER when we build you back up.". To feel this way. My body is supposed. To be feeling this way. No way. Does it suck? Yes sir and ma'am! Because of how bad I'm doing, I am to take a two week break from antibiotics and just focus on detoxing an...

Today I Feel Exceptionally....: lumpy
http://todayifeelexceptionally.blogspot.com/2011/09/lumpy.html
Today I Feel Exceptionally. Thursday, September 15, 2011. This is a PSA :) Well, you know.a bloggy service announcement. So I've had this small pea sized lump at the base of my skull for about a year. I don't remember exactly when I noticed it but it's been there for a year. And it changes in size. Up and down. Almond to pea, pea to almond. It doesn't hurt. And when I get lymph massages, it doesn't react. I don't feel scared. All this year I just attributed it to Lyme. They say it might be Lyme, but go g...
