pluggin' along

Well, I made it through another Christmas unscathed ;-)
My condition has not improved since my last post, and has in fact gotten worse over the last week. Sharp stomach pain is constant, worsening after I eat which has me postponing or skipping meals. As a result, I am weakening and have become very depressed, lacking the drive to even care about anything most days. I'm faking it a lot, using every ounce of strength I have to keep going but it is becoming more difficult. I don't know what can be done about this other than seeing an improvement in my physical health. I plan to see both my primary doctor, and lyme doctor as soon as I can to rule out the possibility of additional infection. (I discontinued my MSP, Samento, and probiotics regimen the last two days and have felt some relief from the pain....I am going back on them today as I don't' want too large a gap in treatment)

In other news, Socrates made a full recovery from his fungal infection. He was doing fine until two days ago when he stopped eating. He is still pretty active, swimming around his tank etc, but is snubbing his food. I'm keeping a close eye on him for a recurrence of infection.
