The Great Medical Mystery: A Tale of Seven Doctors

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”

A Quiet Break

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”

Back

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”

Havoc! And #LymeDiseaseChallenge!

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!”

Mycoplasma, Anyone?

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?”
