life with lyme

well...right now...i have lyme's disease...ill start back at the beginning...
the last day we were in baltimore in august i woke up with a red sore bug bite...i thought it was a spider bite...over the next 5 days it got bigger and the redness spread until it was about 3 inches in diameter...it was so tender that even having my t-shirt touch it was painful...it started to get a white ring around where the bite mark was...
dominic suggested that i have a dr. look at it...so i went with him to the er to have his stitches out (long wiffle ball story)...i showed the dr. my bite and without hesitation he says 'yep, you're got lyme disease' dom and i just stood there shocked...we had no idea what that meant other then the fact that i would start an antibiotic treatment that would last 21 days...
needless to say we went home and started doing research...i will post the article that dominic found that seems to be the best we have seen out there...
it has been a rough road for both of us...i am not and have not felt like myself for about a month and a half...dominic is so amazing and patient with me and all the symptoms that i have been experiencing...
the latest is that after 21 days on meds i was still not feeling well so went to the lyme specialist in vermont...he is great and thinks that the meds didn't work for one of two reasons...1. i have a strain of lyme that didn't react to the first medication or more likely 2. that i have a co-infection...meaning that the tick gave me lyme and another bacteria which didn't allow the first round of meds to do their job.....so all that said...i am on 2 meds now for 25 days...one for the lyme and one for the co-infection...
feel free to send me questions about it or if you find any information out there about it please send my way...
