And yes I overdid myself today and I am afraid I will pay dearly for that. Tried to do too much. My legs feel so tired and the muscles hurt. My brain is all foggy and my vision is blurry. Really did way too much today. Keebler I know you are right about the resting part. It is so important and I just pushed too hard. The fatigue came down at me all at once like it always does when I overdo it. And believe me it's not like I really did all that much. But too much for me to be on the run all day.

I have been doing without sugar for months now and try to avoid it the best I can. Stevia is good you say? Your other suggestions sound yummy.

- PACE yourself, PLAN it out in advance. Check in with your body and listen.
Rather than see rest as a prison sentence for having done too much, try to visualize being in a nice place, doing what you love. See rest as a gift to your body. It's a requirement.
I would rather not even have to sleep, I'd rather be experiencing life. I have to watch myself with that tendency.
I know that I will never get to really experience life if I do not give my body the "down time" during which it actually works very hard for me.
This is when the liver does its magic.

Be sure your diet has none of this and getting off sugar will also be easier: -------

You are right. I used to call it 'budgeting my energy' when I was hit bad with the Lyme last time. Yes I need to listen to my body. Usually pushing the limits only sets me back.
I just hope the dr finds a treatment that will work for me. I don't know why I keep developing new allergies.

I have had a rash on my face on both cheeks further back by the ears since last May when I got home from the hospital the dermatologist said it was rosacea but I don't know. Looking at this new rash on the rest of my face now, it looks very similar to what was already there on my cheeks. Only this is much angrier looking and itches and stings. But I'm wondering if this is an allergic reaction or did the rocephin bring something else out?

Did the rash on your face improve when you took a dose of Benedryl?

I was tempted to try this for my hip pain. After reading the shots were not good for people with Lyme, I passed on the idea. Stretching and holding a position for a good few minutes has helped with the pain. Good luck.

Carol in PA - I did not use the benadryl because I thought that one would only use it if the allergic reaction became worse initially. Would it help now even though the rash started Friday night?

You won't know unless you try it.
And then you'll be able to tell your doctor if it helped.
