Tired Tired Tired - So Tired: Chronic Lyme

The fatigue that many Lyme suffers get diagnosed with is a misdiagnosis - of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Before I started treatment my life was work - sleep on the week days and sleep sleep on the weekends. It was not a life. I would drive myself relentlessly just to do the simplest tasks. Now I am starting to recover just a bit. I am still significantly more tired than my friends my age. But my color is coming back. I am able to blow dry my hair in the morning. I am even considering going to the salon to have my hair done. Before this would have been just too taxing. You know a girl is sick when she won't go to the salon or out to the mall to buy new clothes. I am still going home at lunch to sleep an hour. Much of my work is still unproductive. But I am hopeful. I am able to pay attention to my children and that is remarkable and worth every antibiotic that I have swallowed.

Now about blogging. If you read my blog regularly you have already noticed that I substituted words with like sounding words that mean something totally different. I loose my train of thought by the second paragraph. When I write I leave out letters or reverse them. Spelling errors abound.

So lucky for you as I progress in my treatment - I am catching these errors a little more often. I swear I do hold a higher degree beyond that of a bachelors and I used to write research papers regularly. So at some point I should start sounding intelligent again.
