The Rocks in the Road get Sharper

Well, the specialist for my health has been a huge blessing. He has spent his time with me and done many alterations. With the Lord's guidance the Dr tested for Lyme Disease because of the location of my home and just as a safety step. So the tests came back and they are positive. Just another medical test that has come back baring bad news. It is times like these I start to get down and turn to the Lord in question, then I am filled with His peace and remember the Lord has the problem within His hands.

The Lyme disease is chronic or in other words level 3. This means I will have to disease for life and the cell wall of the bacteria throughout my body have mutated. The antibiotic has a hard time killing the bacteria. Once the bacteria is killed off as a defence mechanisms it spreads a toxin throughout my body. This makes me even weaker. Although the more toxin in my body the better because it means the bacteria is dying. So this summer I will be on 2 potent antibiotics and if necessary a third antibiotic will be added. Because of the health changes again I am having to step out of work for a bit try and regain energy and finish school in the fall.

Along with the Lyme disease I still have Fibromyalgia, and a thyroid issue, so combining all three there are many adjustments to every day life. The focus each morning is to find the great things in life and enjoy the stuff I do have available to me. These changes have allowed me to grow in the Lord which means the Lord is strengthening within me. Don't get me wrong there are times when I am feeling weak and want to give into the defeat but for the most part I am blessed with the Lord's peace.

Now I just hope every time I have an appointment something new does not come up and soon things will shift and good news will finally get back to me. Thank you all for your support, love, and prayers!
