You know that feeling when you walk into a room, and you can’t remember why you walked in? Now imagine that feeling, but instead of a room, it’s a doctor’s office, and instead of forgetting why you walked in, you have no idea why… Continue Reading “The Great Medical Mystery: A Tale of Seven Doctors”

We enjoyed our winter break. It was a quiet Christmas with good food and good company (my mom and J). We made a pretty simple meal with a small turkey. My mom made some yummy dessert: it was like a pumpkin pie, but with… Continue Reading “A Quiet Break”

I was able to return to work today after a medical leave of 5 weeks. And while I am glad, I’ve been very anxious about it. I guess because I got so worn down and in such a chronic fatigue flare (plus reactivated EBV),… Continue Reading “Back”

It’s the end of January 2022. I haven’t been back to work this semester. It’s weird. I just cannot manage the fatigue right now. It’s been incessant. Luckily, I still had some sick leave. Not a lot, so now we’re in pay dock mode.… Continue Reading “Rainy, Winter Day”

The fatigue is back, and it is taking absolutely no prisoners. If you recall, my LLMD had me take a break from the antibiotics for about 7-8 weeks, recently. I’m really not sure why except that I could use one after 27 months on… Continue Reading “Talk About Zombies”

I hope everyone is staying cool. Temperatures here have been raging at around 105 degrees and that is the REAL temperature, not the heat index which is even higher. For the love of God, it is hot. Between noon and about 7 p.m., it… Continue Reading “On the Antibiotic Wagon”

Well, ladies and gents, it’s been a nightmare of a ride these past 10 days. Ironically, my last post was discussing the sometimes, most times, sporadic onset of symptoms. Then, tada! Totally happened to me. And the worst. I hadn’t been feeling all that… Continue Reading “Havoc! And #LymeDiseaseChallenge!”

So, at my doctor visit a few weeks ago, we decided to retest for co-infections. I was tested in March 2014, along with the test for Lyme disease. At that point no other infections were showing. Now, two years later, and I am still… Continue Reading “Mycoplasma, Anyone?”
