Keep On Keepin' On

Just a quick health update: I'm still taking all my meds for my Lyme disease treatments. The biggest thing I've noticed in the last couple of months is that my hair is falling out! Luckily, I've always had tons of hair, but I was teasing Bryan the other day that we both have receding hair lines. This clump of hair came out as I washed and styled my hair the other day. It's a little scary that this amount has been the norm lately.
I still take medications eight different times throughout the day, and two of those doses are antibiotics. Those always make me sick with severe nausea, but usually only for about an hour after I've taken them. Then it passes and usually I'm fine.

We're looking into various options for continuing my treatment, since it's extremely expensive, and I haven't been working for quite awhile now. Still, Heavenly Father has continued to provide for us and open doors whenever we feel like we're at a dead end. I'm still having problems with severe fatigue, swelling & joint pain on my bad days, but all in all I am feeling pretty good and looking forward to the future!
