Hello <<<<< Lyme family >>>>>,
AS some of y'all know, TxC' put up a prayer request for me when I fell, Wed. Oct.26th,[ I marked it on the calander.].
I am still sprained up,but I don't think leg,ankle,knees, wrists, tendinitis issues etc. was the only thing I hurt.
TxC' heard me falling,and turned his chair to help me, I hit that w/ left side of face [thank goodness I didn't hurt him as well].
As I fell and my right leg twisted under me,I hit the back of my head right side,on a wooden tray table,and small TV shelf.
I tho't by now I'd be doing a bit better, but my vision still is blurry in right eye, constant headache,and joint pains.
Also my words are getting mixed up,really annoying...try to laugh but am really frustrated.
Example trying to say 'example' is liable to come out 'estamxle', " Don't slam the door please..." would come out "Don'd dam the sloor prease...". That sort of thing.
If I leave off of a topic and seem to forget it,I was asking questions on,or don't finish something I was doing here,please be patient and forgiving.
This seems to have made the Lyme,Bart',Babs, and etc. worse...and messed with my blood sugars too.
trying to pull out of it...but it has brought back most of my symptoms and added more.
So If I seem to not be myself that is what's up... I try to read here every couple days to keep up...and the darn tinnitus /hyperacusis is worse too...I hate headaches...
Jus' Silverwolfi in Shadow [PS. I know...yeah... I'm phasing in and out...right?! [for all the sci-fi folk}, I do wish I could find some semblance of 'normal' for me again.

Silverwolf,
Sorry you are suffering. I don't want to alarm you, but it sounds like you are having symptoms of a head injury. such as skull fx, concusion, or blood clot.
You need to go to the E R ASAP and have someone examine you and do head films. Please don't ignore this. Keep us posted.

I had the same feeling as Gael on this one, Silverwolf.
Sometimes, unfortunately, you need to have to go to the ER and this is a time that warrants that.
You should of been better by now...not worse off.
Not everything is LD and co-infection related and this sounds like an underlying situation.
Be safe.

I have a co-worker who fe at work and was doing the
same thing. She ended up having a head concussion.
Don't mess with this, it can be very dangerous.
Take care.

Pretty sure it is a concussion, had a rough one about 10 yrs back, a post was knocked onto my head,neck area,by a mischevous rather large cat.
I am way past time to find a Dr. very difficult here w/o insurance. Free clinic agreed to give me a check up, but it will later this next week.
If the on call Dr. doesn't like the looks of the situation,they can get me to the hopsital. I am trying to be careful...just really frustrated,as I can't get the headache to go away.
I talked to TxC' about the whole thing, because he has been noticing,my speech issues,and disorientation etc. Even w/ the close caption words up,if we are watching a program.
It'll be a few days til we can get in to clinic... so I have to take it real easy until then.
Will keep y'all informed,and if it worsens at all, I'll go to Urgent Care or ER. It is aggravating,as we are trying to be so careful financially.
Sometimes I think I must need to be rolled in cotton batting, and kept in a cocoon or something...so I don't get injured.
It seems like when I finally get a little improvement,something else occurs... sigh... all prayers for healing and safety are greatly apprecaited,and gratefully accepted!

I don't cry but my eyes sometimes leak ... noticed this happening as I pray for you. That's nothing compared to how much the Father cares.
Be healed Silverwolfi in the Light! ....take care of you.
Psalm 17:6-8 I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you....
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings

I will keep you close in prayer, too, both you and TXC.
So sorry for your troubles.

My sister is a head trauma victim from a drunk driver. Head injuries can come out usually weeks sometimes months later. Please get checked... prayers for you.

<<<<< DKat, momindeep, lpkayak, sk8ter, each replier >>>>>,
Thanks for prayers,scripture verses,info' and advice. We have a clinic appt. this coming week.
Will update as soon as we get any info'. Eye is still blurring.
I'm pretty well certain it is a concussion,have had the misfortune to have a couple of concussions before.
Last time,they put me on pain meds,and muscle relaxer,as I couldn't move my neck [ Our cat 'Ten pound Ted' knocked a post over on me , we had to give him away a few years back when we had moved].
Back is also really tender,lower back burns/aches, I suspicion a compression concussion type issue...will see what the Doc says,soon as I can get in.
So soonest after I get in to Doc' and get back from the checkup this week,will update.
I greatly appreciate the prayers and the concern. I know this all has set me back Lyme and co's wise... Making pre-existent symptoms worse too.
Jus' Silverwolfi, being slow and cautious.

Hmm, <<<<< Hi Lyme family >>>>> got a phone call,the Dr. cannot be there at clinic the day I was to have appt. to check injuries from falling [ head/eye/joints ].
They are going to try to get me in a day earlier,if there's any cancellations!!
We'll see what happens, that would be a good birthday present...to get this headache and blurred vision to clear up!!!
Maybe we can get the top of my right foot to stop feeling like it is on fire too. Painful, happens suddenly.
I'll let y'all know as soon as TxC' and I find out what's up!
jus' that Silverwolfi
