First, I want to say that I am still in full remission! Yay!! I am feeling so blessed that I have not had to take any Lyme medications for a while now! I was on supplements but currently am on nothing!! It crazy to think back how many different things I was on before and now am on nothing! I see my integrative medicine Dr. every 4-6 weeks... he monitors me and all is well! Sometimes I look at my old videos and pictures and just can not believe how sick I was... Lyme stinks!!
So what is new with me now. Well, I am back to teaching my preschool disabled class! I was out of this classroom for 2 years and am so grateful that I was about to go back! I love the class that I teach.. the best part is I am able to keep up and feel like "me" again! I will say I have SI joint instability now and degenerative disc disease in my lower back all from the Lyme and how I "walked" for that year.. but I will take that over everything else!!
So the best news of all..... I am expecting a little bundle of joy!!! The baby's due date is February 14, 2014- Valentine's Day- How sweet is that! Picture above is me 11 weeks pregnant! All I can do is thank God for giving me this blessing!! I really never thought this would happen for me after have Chronic Lyme- but it did! No, I am not on antibiotics. I figured since I am in remission why would I? I would go on them if Lyme is active. Baby is healthy and all is good.. I do take prenatal vitamins daily- but that is it!!! So there really is joy and light at the end of the tunnel after this terrible battle! Stay strong and positive you will get through this too!!! God is good and will bless us! Keep fighting and Let's Raise Awareness!!
