Lyme Disease

So I'm on antibiotics and feeling so much better. The headache alone was enough to put anyone in an insane asylum. I can truly say the pain I felt last week was worse than Childbirth. I'd actually like to go through childbirth a hundred times than go through that again.

There is so much info out there about Lyme and they all contradict each other. Apparently i have acute Lyme disease and there is Chronic Lyme which comes from not treating Acute Lyme disease. So we are hoping that this round of antibiotics will cure it.

I had a scare when someone told me that Lyme can be passed through breastmilk. But my Pediatrician talked to an Infectious Disease Specialist and they agree that if by chance she was exposed to the disease through my breastmilk then we should keep nursing so she gets the antibiotics I'm on.

Even in whether or not it's passed through breastmilk is controversial. There is still so much research to be done but most of the research done has not been done soundly (according to my Pedi) some of the studies have been funded by pharmaceutical companies.

But I've given up trying to learn about this multi layered disease and I'm just trusting God that this will be over when the antibiotics are over.

IU'm feeling much better though and starting to get energy back. I was even able to go to church yesterday and felt pretty good. then kevin took rowan for a bike ride in the afternoon so I got to sleep.

I will keep you all updated, but so far things are looking good
