Living Like Me, Lymie

Keep On Keepin' On

April 29

Oh diary. It's been getting slightly worse as the days keep going. Since we're waiting until summer for the actual antibiotics, we're trying some Chinese (or Japanese...not sure) herbs to try a gentler approach, as well as meds to attack the symptoms instead of the lyme to prevent a reaction. It should be feeling better. But sometimes it's not. My joint pain in my legs is the worst recently. It used to be naseau, but now its joint pain. My mom accused me of having it all be in my head. I nearly flipped out. I know she didn't mean it like that. She had said "you've been getting worse since the diagnosis. don't let the research make you think you feel that" or something like that. Memory's a bit fuzzy, if you understand. I was very angry, and since we were in the car I couldn't just walk off and punch a wall or something. But honestly, it's a bit insulting when your dear mother thinks that of you. On the other hand, my teachers were very supportive when they all recieved a delightful email. It's been very inspiring, to see many caring teachers rally. Quite touching.

Night.
