Lymes/Bells Palsy Update:
"Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient" ~ Steve Maraboli
#1: Thank you everyone for all your kindness and support during this time. My family and I appreciate every thought, prayer, and donation you all have givenโค
#2: Health update is positive, not as fast as this anxious lady ideally wants, but is slowly improving.
While utilizing numerous avenues of treatment, my acute lymes symptoms are much better. Blood work shows improvement of liver function and lower inflammation, yet elevated white blood count remains. I now am mainly dealing with fatigue, short term memory loss, brain fog, and the Bell's Palsy symptoms of ear, neck, head pain, Facial paralysis, and vision loss in left eye.
And more emotional toll than I would have thought. We all have vanity, but am humbled to have my face that I have seen in the mirror so...altered...
And opening my eyes and not able to see normally... is harder mentally than I would like to admit...
Prognosis: Ophthalmologist is waiting 3 more weeks. If not mostly improved in 3 weeks, he believes I will probably be in the 6 month club of healing. If so, he would recommend surgery to keep eye closed due to my unique eye history.
I will continue treatments in all areas as possibly...it's what I can control...what I can DO about this. The rest is...time...
What a strange fall... How very quickly things can change...be grateful for everything...Again, thank you very much community for all your support. I am blessed to be surrounded by good people In gratitude ~Amy
