Happy New Year! I know- it has been a LONG time since I have written on my blog and I apologize for that. Good news- I am still in remission! I still do see my Intergrative Medicine Dr about every 6-8 weeks for check ups but all is good! Here is a quick update on me:)
February 16th we welcomed a HEALTHY beautiful baby girl named Madeline into our lives- she is our true little blessing! I did nurse her until about July when I wasn't feeling so well.. I felt Lymey ( as some of us call it) again. I did go to my Dr and I was right- it was back! Not bad bad like before but it was picked up. I stopped breastfeeding to go on medicine and also because some research has shown that the Lyme can be in the Breastmilk- is that true? I don't know at all.. But just to be safe, I stopped. After some light treatment from my Intergrative Medicine Dr I felt great again by October and am still in remission! My daughter is now 22 months old and we are expecting our 2nd baby this June 2016!! I hope that this can bring positive news to all going through this battle with Lyme. 2011& 2012 I fought to get my life back by being very aggressive on medicine, support of family and friends, staying positive and of course having faith. I am now going to be a mommy of 2 and I am a full time teacher. I say all of this to help those fighting to not give up- your dreams will come true and just show this Lyme who is boss!! You got this!!
I can not access my FB page for some reason because I had my name under Samantha Lymelife and they now want identification ( well obviously that is not my real name so I do not have identification) so I will hopefully figure this out. Again, I'm sorry to getting back to all the emails and comments SO late! Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2016!
