I had trouble waking up this morning. Tony (My beloved) had to take our son to school cause god forbid Kyle (my son) set his alarm and get his 14 year old lazy butt up himself for son time and I just couldn't move today. I hurt everywhere. When he got back I tried to open my eyes and it was as if someone was taking a machete through the front part of my skull when the sunlight hit my eyes! I was instantly nauseated, I hurt everywhere and the pain my head was unbearable. I started to cry, only making it worse and he ran to the kitchen to get me a pill. I didn't want it, I thought it might pass, but he made me take it anyways. I didn't even know before today that you could wake up with a migraine......it's still there now, and my body is still achey, but I rested and it's just looming now. Not as bad though and I just had to get up, even though he told me I should stay in bed and rest for a few more hours. I hate staying in bed all the time. I think if I stayed in bed, my body would hurt more so I wanted to try to move around a bit. He knows this so he said when I was ready to come back to bed in a little bit, since he just finished the night shift and had to get some sleep, he would be there to hold me when I came back to bed.

I am supposed to go with a girlfriend today to help her pick out a dress for her sons wedding today and then KK (Kailey-my daughter) has a Lacrosse game this evening. I think I will skip the shopping so I can rest until the game. I hate to do that to her, but I have to conserve my energy and my daughter is more important today. Maybe we can do the dress thing next week. The wedding isn't till late June. Btw, somewhere in the mess of this migraine morning my daughter called from school and she had left her glasses at home so my husband had to drop everything and run them to her before her math test...just one more thing, huh?

I'm a little pissed about this infiltration of my day though, I had plans today! I wanted to go get the groceries we needed, I have nothing left to make for the kids lunches for school tomorrow. I wanted to go shopping with my friend, and then come home and make dinner for my family while working on getting our pool in swimmable condition before going to KK's game and watch her kick some LAX butt......now I'll be lucky to make it to the game and probably order dinner since I doubt I'll be up to cooking. This sucks. Why can't I be normal? Why does everything always have to be so hard? Ever since I've been back on the Doxy I feel like crap all the time again....uhhgg....

Ok, I'm done with my morning whine..........thanks~

Keep truck'n, girl! You'll get through it. I'm using natural antibiotics for my Lyme - it doesn't make me sick. (Samento works pretty well!). I can tell the difference when I'm not taking it.

Hope you make it through to the game - feel better!

Anyways, I wasn't aware there there are natural antibiotics? Can you tell me more about it? I've also heard that there are special diets you can follow but no one seems to know where to get them in my circle of friends, they've just all heard of them...

Is anyone on here from the Hudson Valley?

You can go to the Lyme Disease Association web site, or contact the moderator of this group, Jaime, and she will help you find a doc. I would do that first, before asking my Chiropractor.

By the way, a painful, cramping, stiff neck is an overlapping symptom of Lyme and babesia. I should ask the government to declare my neck a disaster area, it's so bad sometimes.

There are many natural antibiotics - samento, olive leaf, colloidal silver.... etc.

I'll send you a link that might help.

As for my neck, I actually have had a lot of trouble with stiffness over the last several months from the lyme, but I also have a few herniated discs in there as well...fun stuff huh? I thought there was only one, but my latest neurologist that read my mri's said she saw three so I am not sure they were read right the first time. I do know that my right hand goes numb frequently and I was told it was from that, but I think that might be part lyme as well....

Has anyone else had problems with weight gain from this? Not from meds? But from Lyme? Also, what about Sleep apnea? I would bet all the money I have, both nickels, that my sleep apnea is caused by LYME. Anyone have any theories?
