Hmmmm?

During my latest appointment with the physicians assistant of the doctor treating my Lyme, I was quizzed on a few things that seemed odd to me. I get the feeling that they were expecting a... marked improvement, after 2 months on antibiotics.

My hands and feet are still tingling away, however, and I've had plenty of those odd shooting pains in the last day, week, and month.

I am left wondering about a number of things. I think I may have "given up" trying to understand, at this point. Either the antibiotics will help, or they will not. Either I do in fact have Lyme, or my troublesome symptoms have another root. For now I can only focus on summoning up my meager scraps of energy for what work I might get done on a given day.



This doctor also asked me to do a heavy metal test. I am quite full of Mercury. Really. It's... appalling. No more tuna from pick-n-save.

You know, I've seen a few stories on the news about mercury in fish. I did assume that, given eating 2-3 cans of tuna per week, maybe I'd have a bit more mercury in me than I ought to.

But after seeing the test result on just how full of mercury I am... I am shocked and appalled.
