Breaking up us hard to do!

We have been together since March 10th, I think.  My Cpni protocol and I that is.  After a year and a half of Lyme treatment, in March  Azith was added and INHi in April.

At first I felt pings and zings in the chest cavity.  Then came the INH with a major herx over a weekend.  Shoulder pain and more chest discomfort.  My nose began to run on Monday Wednesday and Friday with the Azith.  And to think I didn't believe CPn and I co-existed.  I had been shocked  when my blood test showed significant titers.  Who me???  I don't ever have respiratory symptoms.  Chest colds are foreign to me.

Two bad birds with one stone

I am surprised that my analogy, an after thought meant to be more witty than serious, was taken as if I were really worried about it.  It is interesting to think about, but perhaps only for a minute.

It is all in one's perspective.  Reading different sites on the net you will notice that some will say, "I have CFIDSi."  Lymies will reply much to the dismay of the CFID's community, "no it's really lyme that you have.  You are just fatigued because of a Borrelia infection. You should get tested"  And the dialogue and/or arguement goes on.  I heard one girl say, "I have real CFIDSi"  People get comfortable with their illness.

The chicken or the egg??

"You need to go home and rest"  For five years that is the gist of what doctors were telling me.  My immunei system must be worn out and needs time to repair.  OK, so I rested and rested and got worse and worse.  More tests were run -- even expensive heart tests for the out of breath feeling I was in all the time.  "You seem to be in good shape" Didn't anyone believe I was really sick??  My husband did.  He could see it in my eyes.
