Perpetual Ruminations

Saturday

Once again, it's late and I have no time to sit and write. I was home early enough, but I ate a little and then took me a nap. I have been so tired out lately, and so miserable feeling. I'm kind of feeling a little better now, but still not feeling good.

I would have to describe it as flu-like. Body aches, hot one minute cold the next. I get rapid heartbeats and feel a bit dizzy sometimes. Headaches, upset stomach, stiff neck and acid re-flux, not to mention having diarrhea and just feeling tired.

I hate to think what I would feel like if I had not started taking the antibiotics when I did. I know they are helping a lot, and I expect one of these first mornings I will wake up and be feeling more like my old self again soon. But for now, it's kind of tough going, and on top of the rest of it, Rhonda and I may have gotten a touch of food poisoning a few days ago.

I should research Lyme's Disease further, then I would know what to expect and how long it will go on for. But, from what I did read, the symptoms are flu-like and it depends on how long I had it, how fast I respond to the antibiotics, and how much rest I get. That's the difficult part, getting enough rest; that is why I let myself take a nap again today.

Anyway, it's getting better, and hopefully soon I can get a day or two off.
