I thought I’d write a few things down about my current state of health affairs, prior to heading to Cyprus next week. This is partly so I can record “the before” and compare to how I feel when I get back, and partly because I want folks reading this to understand how awful Lyme is on a daily basis. This is important not because I want sympathy, but because it can’t be said enough about how this is a hidden disease. Most people suffering will be trying to hide it, not show it, so they can have some semblance of a normal life.

So what am I hiding? Well, everyone with Lyme is a bit different. There’s plenty of similarities, but I don’t think I’ve come across any two Lyme sufferers who share the exact same set of symptoms. Here’s my list, and how I’d rate the severity of each, out of 10:

I’m confident that the clinic in Cyprus will help me, based on my previous experience with Ozone. I’ll follow up with another post in a couple of days with what the clinic is going to be doing.
