Janet is sick

[Jim]

Janet has been diagnosed with Lyme Carditis (Myocardial Lyme's desease). She was bitten by a tick last year and contracted Lyme's. She got treated for it, but the bug survived and has been there all this time unbeknownst to us or the doctor.

She is now on a heavy dose of antibiotics that treats the illness, but it beats the h311 out of her. Damned if ya' do an' damned if ya' don't.

She has applied to her employer for Family Medical Emergency Leave and expects it to go through in the next two weeks. This will enable her to work when she's up to it and rest when she needs to.

For the past two weeks, she's been running on two to three cylinders and dragging badly. She's been having heart palpatations and shortness of breath. Needless to say, this has me strung up pretty tight.

Just wanted y'all to know.

Thanks for the update Jim. Will keep Janet in prayer. You too, for strength.

[oneokie]

Both of you will be in my prayers.

That's no good Jim. I have never heard of the disorder. Nasty little ticks. Keep her relaxed and let the meds do their work. Time for her to lay back and rest. Hugs from NZ.

May God bless her and heal her and give you the strength to face this trial.

Lyme can take a long time to go away. My friend Jessica back east has been dealing with it for two years now, and is still having problems. Roll up your pant legs, play nurse, and give her my best.

[DLCTEX]

I was down with it for months a number of years ago. Terrible disease. I will pray for you both.
The strange thing about it is that ticks don't like me and the infecting tick was only the second one I ever had attach to me. I have lived in places where they are abundant. Chiggers don't like me either, but that doesn't hurt my feelings.

[Wayne Smith]

Lyme disease is not fun. It destroys organ systems, or damages them, if not caught early. Right now it's working on Janet's heart.

We will be praying for both of you, for healing for Janet and for energy and patience for you.

[MrWolf]

Will keep you both in our prayers

Prayers for Janet.

Lyme is awful. I have had chronic Lyme disease for some years. It has ruined me! Make sure you use a Lyme literate Dr. (LLD)
