Lime and Lyme

Okay, so many friends have asked...."how are you feeling?" A slew of questions about my health recently. I didn't realize it is just past the 1 year anniversary of my diagnosis of Lyme. It was a year long battle, too.

I think the Lyme is becoming a distant memory (or is it because of the neurological damage to my short term memory?). Or maybe it is because I am 42 and um, getting not so young as I used to be.

Oh, there are residuals. Lyme does some crazy damage. I can't keep potassium in me. No wonder I was having heart and respiratory problems! So I eat a banana a day and carry a bottle of supplements. Lyme in its worst moments sucks the life out of you. And then to always remind you you had it - leaves little problems, like this. I've met others who have the exact same problem post-lyme. It helps to know that even if a doctor doesn't believe me (I'm on doctor #11), I know there are others out there experiencing the same thing = Mom is NOT crazy.

But at least I can now drink a margarita and anything else. I can eat what I want (and I have the weight gain to prove it - oh not that bad, but I need to get my butt in gear, literally).

I still love LIME. I still hate LYME.
When is happy hour? Oh, I haven't even had my coffee yet. 7:15am time to wake the kids...
