I have been having one of those "two-fer" Lyme weeks, one where you have one symptom get better and two more crop up in its place.....
The other day my knee pain was significantly better! I just sat there and moved my legs around and stood up and sat back down and kneeled on the floor and.... it just didn't hurt so much! Very proud moment.
I flirted with the idea of a knee-bend but didn't want to go there.
But then my tongue started to hurt!
So I spent the morning looking at my tongue in the mirror, at different angles, in different lighting. I looked at my tongue in the rear-view mirror of my car. I showed my tongue to people.
Nothing.
"Doesn't look any different" they said, though I wondered how they might know what my tongue naturally looked like.
Along with the tongue-ache, my left eye (only the left one) started getting very dry and itchy, like I had something in it but there was nothing there.
Went back to the mirror, alternate angles, different lighting, eyelids checked out, lashes intact, nothing on the surface. Showed my eye to people.
Nothing.
"It looks like you might have something in it" they said.
I took pictures of my tongue and my eye in case I need to show them to my dr.
Only in LymeLand....

Lol, I know whaat you mean.
I don't know how many doctors have looked at me funny with some of my descriptions of symptoms.
Like feeling like someone is pourong ice water just underneath my scalp.
Or feeling like I have a swollen gland in my neck, but no one can feel anything.
No one can see or find anything, and they tell me I'm stressed or I have too mauch time on my hands (yeah, I have 2 preschoolers--I have all the time in the world, lol).
