As many of you old timers know, I have had quite
the lyme journey with autoimmune issues mixed in.
And yet, in this season of hope, I received some
good news--I had the first clean EEG in 2 -3 years
this month, and (knock on wood, let the fairies
dance) I have not had a major seizure in four
months since being on IV doxy and other meds
for the autoimmune.

I am baking for the first time in five years and
my family is coming over my home tomorrow for the first time in five years to celebrate my mom's birthday. (For those of you who are Italian, you
know what the whole family means.)
Last year, I was basically bedridden and could
not walk 20 feet without wanting to faint.

I am not out of this lyme woods, but I will take
this, coming from the place I was in last year.
Still have the mcs, although not as prominent
and I can eat better.

I pray for continued strength and hope for 2006.
The same for all of you.
All my best.

Di

Di, that's wonderful. Last Christmas was my first in 5 yr that I was able to bake goodies and have family over. This year I'm even better and today is bake cookies day. Better get going.

It really can get better.

Take care, Pam

I am sooooo happy for you. I have been following your story from the beginning, and am pleased you are well enough to tackle the "whole family."

I can't wait to get my life back too!

Enjoy the holidays (and mom's birthday) and thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for the responses. Baked cake
number three today--cheese cake, apricot raspberry
and a chocolate tuxedo raspberry brownie torte.

Can I have any...not yet...not on your life!! Just have two excellent taste testers--my kids.

I am just going step by step, and my llmd as well
as other doc checked in with me yesterday to see
how all was. They said they "were rooting" for
me. I am just praying for 2006 to keep bringing
me hope and more wellness.

Got to run...company in a few hours and my mom
not knowing this is a surprise...sh...!

Hi Babe...Happy Holidays, girl. Been thinking of
you. Love, Di

Hey Di,

So glad things are going well. How did everything work out? Feeling better is so gratifying when you've felt bad for so long.

Here's to continued improvement,

Corgilla
