| horrid.... and it goes back and forth. One day I'll feel ok, the next two days I can barely drag myself out of bed (I actually don't - I let the kids do it on those days)  I go back for my followup in a couple of weeks and will hopefully get the green light for IV antibiotics. My stomach turns even thinking about dealing with that again (this is my second time 'round the block with lyme and picc lines) but on the other hand, I know I have to go there in order to get well again - and this time I have a coinfection to go with it. Of course, last time I didn't have a husband and kiddos to worry about - and I am terrified of the herx days with the coinfection thrown into the mix. Hotcoffee, where do you have your line at? Arm or chest? I am worried about the chest, simply because my youngest is a little hug monster - and I'm afraid she would do something to the line there. Then again, I've had the arm line and that was tough for many other reasons. This is one of those things that I really just wish I could go to sleep and wake up, realizing that it was all a bad dream...  BTW - I was at CVS in California today and saw a car that had a green 'lyme' ribbon on the back. They also had a bumper sticker about lyme disease (but I can't remember what it said... ironic I suppose coming from a lymie) I hope everyone is doing ok - this cold weather is rough on the joints  |

| I've had my PICC for a little over 4 months now. Right now it's somewhat clogged and very sluggish  Nurse is coming out this evening to try and flush it with cathflo (this will be the 3rd time it's been clogged). I'm probably looking at having to have it taken out and replace. But at least I've been feeling pretty damn good lately.

My husband gets his PICC out tomorrow. I am so glad. He has been on it for 9 months. He is going to continue treating with naturals and suppliments. I am doing good. Had a rough January. Over did at the holidays and my symptoms kicked in. Then caught a cold. It was a bad month. I am finally feeling better. The symptoms are very mild and I only have a couple of days that I even notice anything durring the week. | |
