Re: Spring!

Can you get Lyme repeatedly, or does the antibiotic not knock it out completely? 

Doctors - pfff! My PA is better than a doctor. She listens!

Oh, no, I've been treated several times, but grudgingly each time I've
been told they didn't believe I had Lyme - the fact that I improved with
doxycycline was just a placebo effect.  No one has ever proposed
another diagnosis. On a couple of occasions I persuaded another
specialist - my eye doctor - to give me the antibiotic for an eye
infection.

You've gone all this time without treatment? Yikes!

I've been blaming my seeming inability to accomplish much in the garden
this season on the strange weather - generally cool and gloomy though
with a couple of spikes to uncomfortably hot. It was very dry, though the 
sun seemed reluctant to shine, until the last few days, when we have had
about five inches of rain - enough to bring the pond back to its normal
level.
Well, now I have another excuse.  I have been diagnosed with Lyme
Disease.  The remarkable thing about this is that I have struggled with
Lyme
for about 20 years, and usually have been unable to get a doctor to admit
that I had it, even when it was indicated by the blood tests. They didn't 
offer any other diagnosis - just said they didn't believe I had Lyme.  In
other
words they thought I was malingering.  I went in this time with another
complaint, and the doctor declared that I had full-blown Lyme.  OK, maybe
this time they will finally do something about it.  It's a relief to have
it finally
acknowledged that it is not just all in my head.
Maybe I will still get the garden together before the end of summer.
