Relapse


Bad news report. :( 

I've been feeling slowly worse and worse the last few weeks. Today, I finally decided this isn't the normal waxing and waning of my energy and health. It was always wishful thinking this is "just a bad day" and not a turn for the worse, I suppose. So, this afternoon Jim took me to the doctor.  

Doc confirmed I have Bartonella again. I'll be on new prescription medications (2), an herbal protocol and IV's for it. It's a frustrating thing because I have treated this countless times over 5 years. I mean countless times too. Nonstop meds for years. It really reared up and knocked me down fast this time. 

Jim missed half of yesterday and all day at work today to help me since I wasn't able to drive. So, we are now preparing to throw everything we possibly can at Bartonella this time and we hope it helps without killing me first. Doc encouraged me saying that the patient he knows with the worst Bartonella he has ever seen did the scripts + herbs and has finally become victorious over it. He said to do as much as I can tolerate. We picked up the prescriptions just now, herbs were shipped from the Oregon doc today and IV meds are on their way too. The battle begins...

Keep the ticks off folks. Be cautious. Protect your health. 

Thanks for praying for us. Thanks for the blessings (whoever you are) that have helped pay for my medicine as well. God is always good. Always.
