Fighter Survivor

Yesterday, I saw my doctor to get the results of my CD57 blood test and to discuss my symptoms and medications.  I was disappointed to see my CD57 level drop again, but not destroyed!  Truthfully, I've been fighting this fight long enough that a breakdown just hasn't occurred.  I'm happy that I am handling everything, but don't think I won't cry if I need too.

Through this Disease, I really have been blessed.  I am blessed with a loving family that willingly takes care of my every need.  They bend over backward for me.  I have a wonderful support system, packed with close friend, that encourages me, prays with me, cries with me...they are just amazing!  And I am blessed to have gained and continuing to gain new Facebook friends that are better known as Lymies!  I love them all!

I won't lie, this past month has been extremely difficult.  I have been having numerous seizures, have developed ataxia, have experienced symptoms of paralysis, a really sore throat, and major pressure in both ears.  As a result, I have spent most of my days either sleeping in bed or the recliner, or even the car when going to and from appointments (don't worry I'm not driving).  I have cried a lot as Jeff (hubby) has tried to massage my feet and legs to get them out of intense cramps and paralysis. 

June has started off with numerous seizures, blurry vision to where I can hardly see what I am writing at this present moment.  But, I'm not going to allow this disease to make me a victim regardless of how much pain I am in.  Jesus Christ is with me and making me into a Fighter Survivor!

When will I see my body healed is a good question.  That is completely up to God.  He will either heal me here or when He takes me home. I trust in the Lord with all my heart!  He loves me like no other.

Thank you for your continued prayers, encouragement, love and support!

Love,
Sydni
