I went to the doctor today. Things are slowing getting better. I am now able to get up and do things about 4-5 hours a day. My doctor believes it's due to the Doxycycline, So we are going to try it for another 30 days and see what happens.

So I am hoping things are still going to keep getting better. He did say today all the damage done, to heart and ect, I will not get back, but I could hopefully have a better life if the treatment keeps working. I may never work again, but if I can do something's, and be able to be up walking that's all I need! So finally, some good news.

Also I was told due to how sick I was I may be on meds and treatment for a long time. Are alot of you on long trem treatment?

Its always nice to hear when someone is feeling better. A lot of us have been on medications for years so be prepared. Good luck. Take care of yourself. Take supplements and try to eat right. I believe that keeping the immune system in the best shape possible has a lot to do with beating this disease.
