Have been diagnosed with borreliosis (lyme disease)

[Randi]

So sorry to hear this Kirsten. I hope you can get it under control. Get better!

[Medusa]

Oh dear, Kirsten, that is too bad. You're fortunate to have gotten a diagnosis, though. From what I've read and seen on TV, Lyme disease is difficult to diagnose and people can go for years being told that they've tested negative for it. You'll probably have some ups and downs for a while but, hopefully, you're already on the road to recovery.

Can you feel all the beakie kisses and feathers gently brushing your face? The flock and I are sending much love and healing to you, Kirsten.

Get well soon Kirsten. It is very good it was diagnosed early. My dad had it for about 3 years before he had it diagnosed. Its the reason I check myself over 3 times when I come back from the woods.

I hope it goes well for you.

That must be scary but it sounds like you have caught it in time. I know it is not easy, but try not to dwell on it. Keep your spirits up and think happy thoughts. You are tough and you will beat this! Prayers!!!!!

I'm so glad it was caught so early! A man I know had it for over 20 years before it was properly diagnosed and by then it had done a real number on him. I hope you feel better soon.

Add me to the list of well-wishers! I would imagine you are on a strong course of antibiotics, and that, alone, can give you digestive tract "issues".

Get well, get lots of rest, and snuggle with the girls.
