Hi, it's been awhile, well, about 4 years. I am kind of missing the support I had here and I also wanted to find out how everyone is that I knew. If you remember me, give me a holler.
Lots of love, always prayers

Hey guys.. it is wonderful to hear from all of you. I wish it could be somewhere else than here, of course!
So, the update:
When I first came here, undiagnosed, I was 14 and Tincup hooked me up with the wonderful Dr. Jones.
I spent 4 years with Dr. J, and then I was stable enough to move to someone a little closer to our area of the united states.
I am almost 22 now, I have been working on and off different jobs as my health allows. (cashiers, wait staff, nannying, stuff like that.)
Right now I work on my mom's ranch and I still live at home. I haven't been well enough to work full time or attend college, but I still look forward to that.
I have been training some of my own colts and riding horses quite a bit.
I also have been rock climbing, and that has been THE best physical therapy for me, hands down. Usually from the time that I climb until 30 minutes after I am done I have no pain. But I am still on heavy-duty pain medicine (a drug a bit more potent that morphine.)
My current LLMD has me on IV CLindamycin, IV Rocephin, plaquenil, biaxin, avelox (pulsing), and primaquin. I will be starting something called HH and some other bartonella/babesia naturopathic therapies as well.
He also has me on Valtrex for active viruses that have had me really tired and are making it harder for my body to beat the Lyme, and of course the Lyme is allowing the viruses to stay active.
As far as I know, I'm not crazy yet! lol. Just kidding, I try. Really.
Tomorrow I will be seeing a neurologist for some new onset symptoms (bad headaches, dropping things, blind spots in peripheral vision, streaks of light in peripheral vision, forgetfulness. As well as a random amnesiac episode following a severe headache.)
Well, wish me luck. Let me know how you all are doing! I have missed you guys
