Glad that you made it through yesturdays battles and that the yucky taste is gone for you.
i'm real tired today - again - pain is a bit worse too - (I didnt get my 12 hrs of sleep)but yesturday was a better day for me - so I guess i shouldn't complain.
Actually I couldn't sleep for awhile - who'd a thought you could be totally exhausted and insomnia at the same dang time....
I have had this disease quite a while and I still think it has some wacky symptoms.

Hi Rob,
I did an ambitious thing yesterday. I moved to a new home. My husband and I have just begun a new business on 3/1/06 and it is going well but we can't both be off from work at the same time. So, it was decided I would stay home and work with the movers.
I was feeling great. My hands and feet were working very well until about 11:30am. By then, my ankles were starting to protest. But, you know what, when you are moving a house, you don't get to stop. First of all, there is no furniture to sit on. Second, movers need me directing them all the way and they aren't staying in one place.
I carried a plastic side table around with me and sat everytime we stopped, but that amounted more to a rise-sit exercise than to any actual rest.
The movers began at 8am and finished at 5pm. I broke down and took Advil at noon (which I really try to avoid because I have Leaky Gut), but by 5pm, the pain had way overridden the Advil.
I couldn't sleep last night because of stabbing pains in my ankles, right knee was very swollen and hurt whenever I changed position. Hands swelled and shoulders became slightly affected.
Getting up for bathroom breaks was just murder and all this in the middle of boxes to the ceiling. Where is the toilet paper???
I did not want to go to work today, but I had no choice. Can't walk well at all, but my job is mostly sitting in front of a computer. We still have much left at the old house and of course, cleaning the old house. New house needs mowing as it was vacant before we bought it.
I told hubby, the only thing I could do to help this evening would be the mowing. We have 3 acres and a riding mower. I figure I can sit on it as well as I can sit anywhere else.
I felt nearly normal when my day began yesterday and am bummed to be so affected today. I just have to keep telling myself that was extrordinary work and it is a sign of improvement that I was able to do it at all.

I woke up at 5am again this morning--guess that's better than 4am! Lucky me! Well, you are definitely lucky that you no longer have that metal taste. I don't mind it too much, though. The tremors and twitches are back, and those I do mind. Ugh!
Did you read that the producer of the TV show "The Shield" died yesterday, from ALS and COMPLICATIONS FROM LYME DISEASE!? He was only 50 years old! I hope and pray we all get better soon. This is a terrible disease.

Wow that's great news Rob, the bad taste is already gone. It gives me hope since I'll be back on P&B real soon. Last time the taste never went away.
The first time I did 6 months of tetra it made coffee taste like turpentine & I quit coffee within a few days. This time around it had no effect on taste. Maybe I'll get lucky with Biaxin this time.
I remember getting up really early the first weeks of P&B. Hoping you keep making progress. hats
