It's not quite a week, since I restarted antibiotics. I'm understanding what a "debilitating" disease is....the symptoms interfer with everyday functionality.
I need only take a couple steps, feel how heavy and sluggish my legs are, to determine my state of unwell being. Walking is challenging. Legs are stiff, heavy really is the best word, and somewhat uncoordinated.
I figure there are times when I should "push through" the discomfort for functionalities sake, but it's a small, thin line. Mostly, I rest as much as possible...until the heaviness abates. Everyday is a constant monitoring of where my physical body is at, what I can reasonably do and what I can let go, not do.

I've been reading about more home treatments. I soak my feet in apple cider vinegar, drink copious amounts of lemon water, engage in simple yoga exercises for my root chakra, employ various positive thinking mantras and utilize visualizations to help heal. I'm not helpless, just a bit limited in what I can do. I do as much as I can.
I noticed the intense itching only starts an hour or two after antibiotics. Could be a sign my body's working on eliminating the bacteria.
My head's a little clearer. No headaches today. Had a nice, happy power nap for a couple hours. I was able to spend a couple hours with my LittleGuy and time with Eldest. I enjoyed more of Partners leftover barbecue ribs. I even ventured out for Dairy Queen. I haven't had ice cream in a couple weeks.
I continue to pay attention to what I ingest. Keeping gluten free pretty darn good, these days.
Overall, I can't complain. It's just my physical health slowing me down. I'll continue to improve.
Sharing some more pics from the garden. I hope I've got Mr. Bumble in the Gallardia, Blanket Flower pic...the red, orange, yellow flowers:)
Be well. Thanks for reading
