Last night my RIGHT leg wasn't working properly so when I tried to walk I just looked funny. It wasn't a limp....it was almost like my right leg didn't want to bend very much so I looked plain silly to my husband and brother. I also veered a lot - trying to WALK straight but veering one way or another (which means walking into walls or falling into them). It's why I walk terribly slow when I feel like that; going too fast has resulted in some bruises.
Anyway -- I don't always shake or tremor. It usually happens when the antibiotics have packed a punch and that seemed evident on the second day of taking antibiotics. Then hit Thursday and Friday which are days I take a "cyst-buster" drug and there's a whole other world of debilitating symptoms to explore. Not cool.
I just keep thinking back to every new round of treatment that I've done -- the beginning is the hardest (for me). As each week of treatment goes on, the less and less my symptoms are there. So feeling THIS bad right now I know is temporary.....and ultimately for my good.
I took this video at some point a bit ago when my arm was particularly shaky but I still had to feed my little ones. Just to show you an example of the "shakes" :)
Heather, I think this is a very informative blog. If I were just diagnosed with Lyme or going through treatment, I would want these videos and health diaries just like you've posted. Thank you for chronicling your journey. It will be a blessing to all those who come after you!
