It's both friend and foe. My doctor has me on metronidazole (Met) 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off. A couple of weeks ago I was off the Met and things were pretty good. THis past weekend I started my 2 week cycle of Met and boy, oh boy did the symptoms of Lyme Disease flare up. Flare ups suck because I was use to less pain and suddenly there is a spike in pain and symptoms. Even though I know it happens, it also always catches me by surprise when the flare up happen. Anyway since this past weekend it's been rough-ish. I have had it worst but still only a masochist is happy about it. What I am happy about is that when my symptoms are worst that means the Met is working and killing off this damn bacteria in my body that has taken so much from my life and has given nothing good in return. I am grateful that I figured out that it was Lyme and got a great doctor to treat my Lyme, now I just need to find a family doctor to follow me. I have two more appointments next month- I just might find a family doc to care for me then. I am still dumbfounded that doctors, medical professionals refusing to do their job of being doctors and treat a patient with a medical disease. The fight continues for me - good thing I am fiesty.
Until next time- stay tick free and toodles for now.
