After 4 months and 1 week, I am finally off of antibiotics. Thank God! Here's the timeline.
May 8, exposed. June 16, unconfirmed clinical diagnosis. July 6, treatment started. August, herxing stops end of month. Sept 20, doing 90% better. October, steady as she goes.... Nov 22, off meds!
So much for getting well in 4 weeks. I can assure you, I was still herxing and sick long after 4 weeks. So let's hear it for me, I'll take an attaboy!
I'm not abandoning the cause, either. I've found some other Lyme victims here in my area who have started a group. Going to get involved in activism and spreading the word.
I'll still be on Lymenet, too. No sense leaving good company! I'm going to video a Lyme dance and post it here for all to see very soon so you can laugh your butts off!
