I just wanted to post this to give everybody encouragement.
I have been sick for 14 months and treated by an LLMD for about 8 months. I have had a lot of pretty good days off and on, and some very gradual improvement, but I've never had ANY days where I could say I was without symptoms. Some days I'm still pretty sick, and now I'm battling candida too, and the nausea from doxy. I've been waiting for 2-3 months symptom-free, but it seemed like it would never come.
This weekend I felt wonderful for 3 days. I had so much energy that I spent many hours shopping at different stores, packing up boxes and taking them to Goodwill, and cleaning, and reorganized half of my kitchen. It's beautiful now, and I can actually cook in it. And I didn't get sick from the exertion like I often do when I try any small thing.
I haven't been able to do that much stuff since I got sick. As of yesterday, my Lyme pain was back, but I am now certain that I am on the road to recovery, and that one day I will get there. I had forgotten what it felt like to be me again. That was fun.
I still have the other half of the kitchen to do, but I'll have to wait for my next good spell to tackle that.
