The Tick Wins

So, I am going back into treatment. I had a feeling it was coming, after the last episode of swallowing,tongue and speech issues. Part of me wants to treat it like taking out the trash, or giving someone a ride to school, you know, no biggee, but deep inside, I know it means so much more, and that's what I am grappling with.
 
Why do I have to analyze every aspect of my life? 
You know, it is what it is. 

Treatment to me means:
  • My life is not my own- I will have to go along with the whimsies of the meds
  • My children and husband will have a new mommy for a while- which incidentally means a messier house, with less home-cooked meals
  • Some people won't GET it- I mean I will hear.. "I thought your were over that thingy- what did you call it...Lyme?"
  • Die-off
  • Probiotics and stomach aches
  • Bloating
  • Lots of PJ days- hmm...that might be kinda nice for a change....
  • $$$
  • Defeat- hmph... defeated by a minuscule little tick
  • Can you think of anything else? The list goes on....

That's it for now.  I will fill you in when the fun times begin.
To wellness,
