Winter is always worse for me. I am less motivated, more tired and feel overwhelming feelings of panic and stress. This spring I had a period where I felt amazing and did so many projects and was in a good mood most the time. It carried through the summer and that's a pretty normal cycle for me. I think seasonal depression is something I have from Lyme. The week school started back up for the boys was the worst I'd felt in months.
Yesterday I took the first nap I've taken in I don't know how long. At least a year? And it was the sleep of the dead for a couple hours. The exhaustion was overwhelming. It was discouraging to take that nap, because that's such a tangible sign I'm sick.
My red, dry, itchy eyes are back, too. Those had been much better for a long time. And it's not allergies, it's Lyme. It's like Sjogren's. I have had it for several years, but it had started to get much better. Love Opcon A eyedrops. I have them stashed everywhere around the house, in my purse and my car.
There have been a couple mornings I have been really nauseous, this morning included. The only explanation is that I read on the Lyme-N website that supplements are supposed to be taken separate from the Lyme-N treatment. I forgot and took them last night right after I nebulized. The other couple mornings I felt nauseous, I took my supplements right after my treatment at night and was up early. .....Or it could be that I hate getting up so early that it makes me physically ill :) I didn't experience it at all over the weekend when I was able to sleep until my body decided it was ready to wake up.
I forgot to mention that the first time I started to nebulize properly, my eyes and nose were both running like a faucet. It was so much stronger and burned my throat more than the times before. I had removed the filter from the compressor as the Lyme-N website says to do, so I'm sure this was the reason.
