can't sleep

I can't sleep. My heart keeps skipping and I have a crampy feeling in my chest. The last few days were good until now. I'll just lay down for awhile I guess.

I forgot

I had this really good idea for a blog post. But guess what? I forgot! Five minutes ago I was thinking about it, now I have no clue. Hmm. Looks like my short term memory is going. Hopefully this is just a fluke. When I remember what I was going to say, I'll make another post.

Heart problems

A few nights ago I was trying to fall asleep. Once in awhile my heart feels like its skipping. But usually it's only one skip. Anyway, as I was trying to fall asleep my heart skips/ beats really hard for a good 5 seconds. It was really scary and hard to breathe. Painful too. That was probably the worse one that has ever happend. I am going to talk to my doctor about that one.

Other than that, things have stayed the same. Just the usual joint pain. Some headaches too. My pain meds aren't really doing the trick anymore. So that kinda sucks too.

Last night Blizzard defeated Iron 86- 42. It was an amazing game and I had a lot of fun with my friends!

Some pain

So it's been awhile. I've been living with my mom for the summer, thats going well. I finally have my own car so I won't need to worry about someone having to take me places. My natural treatment is going well. Although lately my bones hurt. Also, I think I am starting to lose my short term memory again. Heres some examples:

I couldn't remember what scent I bought my mom from bath and body when she asked me what I got her. (This was a few days ago)

And today I didn't remember that I won the game Horse (b-ball) against my sister.

Maybe it's a fluke. I am not sure. I like the natural treatment better because I don't have stomach problems with it.

Also my car is missing a hub cap. Lame. It must have fell of or something. I'm going to get a new one because I think it looks funny.

I was also very surprised to find out that I am on my College's Dean list. First semester I got a 2.4, second semester I got a 3.5. I'm pretty happy about that.

I've been taking walks every day. I like that. I just don't like getting bit by mosquitos (sp?) Teddy likes it too. :)

I'll be updating more now that it's summer.

blah blah!

Ah! Okay so this week I've been feeling pretty good. Almost "normal". I had energy, I got a lot of work done at the barn, a whole bunch of stuff. But now, I am in pain! Bad pain! My bones in my right arm hurt! Bad! It feels like someone is smashing my arm with a large pointy object. Now that I am not working, I am going to amp up my Lyme treatment. Ugh.

Not much new

Not to much is new right now. I am feeling decent some days. Recently at work I got bit by a rat. Not only did it hurt, I had to get a shot and go on antiboditics for 10 days! I work in the pet dept, it wasn't just a random rat. While on the antiboditics I feel kinda crappy, but it isn't for long.

I finished up school. I did WAY better this semester than last semester. I finished with a 3.5 and now I have a 3.0 average. I am happy with this, I just have to keep it up the next two semesters before I transfer.

Right now I have been working, but in a few weeks I will be moved in with my mom for the summer. When I am moved in there I am gonna amp all my Lyme meds. Then it will be okay to Herx because I am not in school or working. Thats the plan so far!

appointment

My appointment went alright. First I met with one doctor and had Electrodermal Testing. That's sort of hard to explain what it is.

Scroll about half way down and it starts talking about how it works and such.

Anyway, so with that test it can measure different levels in your body. One of the levels I had tested was to see if antibodics was a good idea or not. Antibodics are a bad idea for me. Because of that, I will be doing a natural Lyme treatment for two months. The exact term for it I can't recall. After that two months I will go back to my Lyme doctors and see how I am doing. If my symptoms are gone and I pass the CD57 blood treatment I will be done with my Lyme treatment. If I don't pass the blood test then we will have to go in a different direction.

I guess this will be a interesting two months. I am gonna start out slow on the medications because my doctor was saying I will probably herx on them. I am in finals week right now and also have to cover for one on my co-workers. Once that is all done I am going to live with my mom this summer. There I will amp everything up because I wont have to worry about getting sick for work or anything like that.

Other than that, not to much going on with me. I am having a good week pain wise so I am happy about that. :)

I am running out of Lyme facts, I will have to look more up in my book.
