I’m beginning to wonder if I’m really going to make it without the IV antibiotics. She did agree to give me another round of Doxy today so I have enough in prescriptions to do the full 12 weeks now.

But the nausea is getting worse. I tried to eat something with wheat in it a few days ago and that did not go well at all. I asked today if there is a connection between gluten and Lyme. She said there’s not an official one but because the immune system is involved with both, it wouldn’t be surprising.

Lovely. I mean I was already staying away from gluten but when I’m this nauseous, I just want to eat something to help settle my stomach….and meat and veggies don’t really have that effect.

Good news is I’m off work right now so I’m getting in lots of rest and relaxation, just as the doctor ordered.

See you in 2013….

Oh and I can’t forget it’s the end of the month, so:

The Tally…

This doesn’t include pharmacy charges or supplements and goes back to the first doctor’s visit when I started trying to get diagnosed in August.

As of today, the total billed is $7,113.80. My insurance has covered all but $1,281.
