I've been feeling very weak the last few days.....all I want to do is sleep....constantly feel like I've just run a marathon....sore muscles, fatigue etc. I think it is a reaction to increasing my meds on friday and again last night. I up the dose a tiny bit every other day. I may stay at this dosage for a few more days to give my body a chance to adjust before increasing it again.
The intense exhaustion has taken a toll on my emotions. I broke down last night and cried for about an hour.....was one of those "I feel yucky and wanna be held" moments. Luckily I had a friend on the phone to talk me through it.
Well, I'm off to prep my dinner meds. Ciao for now! :-)
About Me
- Jess
- Arizona, United States
- My name is Jessica and I am 35 yrs old. 9 years ago I contracted Lyme Disease. Fluctuating heart rate,intermittent rheumatoid arthritis pain, extreme muscle weakness, tremors and memory loss followed. I lost my job, apartment, ability to care for myself, and spent a year bouncing between homeless shelters, friends houses and the hospital. 5 years ago I moved into my dad's spare room and for the last 3 have required a motorized wheelchair to maneuver outside the house. Without cash benefits from the government, my focus is on raising funds to meet my daily needs and pay for treatment. Throughout this ordeal there have been moments when I have considered giving up, but I refuse to let this illness win. I am writing this blog in hopes that others will gain some inspiration from my story and know that they are not alone on their journey.
