Basically what I wrote was that I was feeling really great and had good energy all day long well into the evening. I am still taking my full dose of Adderall and that is a huge factor, I'm sure. However, I am not having a crash in the evening like normal. I just keep right on going and can continue to do work and get dinner and laundry done without wishing a crack would open up in the earth and swallow me whole. So, that is a positive change.
The treatment itself still causes the brain freeze headache, mild burning in my throat, stuffy nose afterwords, and makes me very sleepy. It has caused mild hoarseness for a short time afterward, too. When I first went on it, for several days ( maybe a week) I felt like I had to pee all the time. There was an uncomfortable burning feeling constantly. That has pretty much gone away now (thank goodness!). I can't say for sure it was from the Lyme Cure treatment, but I think it was. One of my normal symptoms from Lyme is bladder spasms, particularly when I drink caffeine. They can feel a bit like this did, but this felt more like a UTI. So, I wonder if anyone else has or will experience this symptom.
Now I am on day 21 of my Lyme cure treatment. So far the biggest changes are all from not being on my Azithromycin for 21 days and my PMDD symptoms. I really didn't expect to see positive changes this early from the Lyme cure treatment, so that is not a surprise. It's just too soon. My Lyme has caused me to have Adrenal exhaustion, which causes a chain reaction of hormone imbalances involving the thyroid and pituitary. This has lead to my PMDD (Premenstrual Disphoric Disorder). PMDD is like PMS on steroids. My life revolves around my cycle, and I write certain days of my cycle on the calendar. Day 23 is D- Day and beginning then, I can't plan any appointments or functions for a week or two. That's when the real hell starts over again and I have a whole slew of symptoms that bombard me and basically make my life a living hell. If you are a man reading this, imagine having the flu, being hit by a train, then shot with a tranquilizer dart and left for dead. It's not about the stereotypical PMS that most people joke about, it's primarily debilitating physical symptoms.
Today my combination of both LD, AE and no Azith have caught up to me. The roof of my mouth is sore and swollen, my teeth hurt, I can feel my bells palsy pain and swelling on my left side. It swells my nostril closed on that side. I woke up with a sore throat the past 3 days.... basically, all the reasons that I did not want to go off Azith are exactly what is happening. However, for me to really know when and how the Lyme Cure treatment is working, I have to stay off it.
