Feeling hopeful....

I feel like this week has been one little thing after the other of God just giving me glimpses of hope. Trust me, I still feel awful and exhausted...but not hopeless. I am trying to wake up each day and just thank God for all the things I am grateful for....instead of dreading the rest of my day. Because honestly, a few weeks ago...I did not want to face another day. I have always had compassion on people that get to crazy, low points in their life and want to give up...but never thought I would be there. For those of you that know anything about lyme disease, you understand that is does affect parts of your brain, memory, etc...so, I have literally been fighting a battle in my mind along with the physical affects of the disease.

I went back to the specialist this week and we had to talk through all of the new options that I have. We can't use oral antibiotics anymore because it was attacking my stomach in horrific ways. So, I had 3 options. The first was to go into the office twice a week to get antibiotics shots. The second option is the one I have been dreading hearing about since the first day I started researching....which would be wearing an IV bag of antibiotics on my arm for a long period of time. The third option is that my doctor works with another "natural" specialist who has actually gotten pretty good results with lyme patients. For right now, I am choosing option 3 (it is the cheapest of the 3 options)....and it is not as hard on my body. We will see how the next month or two goes...and then revisit what needs to happen next.

I want to thank ya'll SO MUCH for the encouragement....a few of you have donated money to me just because you care!! IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!! Thank you so much for praying and for being so generous. Again, it is God showing me that HE IS GOING TO PROVIDE...I so easily get freaked out by all of the doctor's bills. But, He knows.

Love you all,
Lindsey
