I'm Back!

[Lucyboo2]

I just got word from my Dr. today (finally) that what has been ailing me is actually Lyme disease!  I have been having headaches, really severe ones for twelve days straight.  I woke up Sunday morning to half my face paralyzed.  Thinking it was a stroke, my husband and I drove to the hospital where we learned that I had bells palsy.  Because patients with Lyme disease also seem to get bells palsy, they decided to test me for it and I have stage 2 Lyme disease.  That really stinks, but at least now I have an answer.  Very scary time for us, but I think we might be on the right track now!

 

Turns out it wasn't Lyme disease after all.  The second test to confirm it came back negative.  After a trip to a neurologist up in Chicago I learned that it was actually caused by stress.  Go figure!?  I'm seven weeks into this now and things aren't too much better, but I do notice little changes (very little) every week.  We'll see what happens.
