Update and stuff

I had my 6 month office follow up visit with Dr. McShane. I am progessing...slowly but I am progressing just the same. Still trying to get a dr to refill my scripts locally but no luck. I did have a bit of luck for 4 months via an internet doctor here in Montreal but he said he can't refill them for me any longer. I have two other appointment with 2 more doctors within the next few days. I can certainly use a miracle right about now with these scripts and refills. My lyme dr said that CLSC's tend to be more helpfull with lyme patients but I might need to go to a few before I get a doctor that is understanding. If the family doctors' I will be seeing in the next few days do not come through for me then off to my CLSC rounds I go.
It's the frustration of it all. All this running around for something that is a legitimate and diagnosed disease. It feels pretty isolating for us patients try to help ourselves with endless dr. visits that lead to nowhere. It is also upsetting when every doctor I go and see, I am so hopefull that they will be the one to help me and they don't. There are moments of frustration, panick that I will never find a doctor to treat me locally with my Lyme dr, exhaustion because making the doctor rounds is tiring and finally after all the dead ends the last emotion is that of being demoralized but I am not dropping my head in defeat - too easy to do that and my health is worth the effort required. My life is worth the effort required.
My food cheating has come to an end. Dr. McShane reiterated why it's so important to stick to the diet. It scared me back to fidelity with this diet. Sometimes a gentle reality check given by my caring and amazing doctor like Dr. McShane is all that is required.
I discovered a couple of great products for dry skin/hands. Lyme has made my skin and my hands and feet very dry. I discovered Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Concentrated Cream also the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula jar with Vitamin E. It also comes in a soap bar. Awesome. Those products help me a lot- only downside- my hands smell like yummy homemade cookies which I can't have due to the YFSF diet I am on. It's a conundrum. :(
Until next time- stay tick free and toodles for now.
