Round 2

It's all in my head... at least the proof is all in my head. After IV antibiotics, 2 different oral antibiotics, and some antimicrobial medications, I'm still not feeling any better. I'm worse, actually. Lightheaded more frequently, body aches, joint pain, numb toes, a blurry spot in my left eye, and the list goes on. The specialist finally ordered a brain SPECT scan, which showed several areas of decreased blood flow to my brain, one area of no blood flow, and one area of abnormal flow. All of this is indicative of inflammation from chronic lyme.

So, today I am going in for insertion of a new PICC and tomorrow I will start round 2 of IV medication. This time will be a combination of different medications which are supposed to better cross the blood-brain barrier. I'm hoping for some better results this time. All I can do is keep fighting.
