Oh what fun it is to still/again have Bell’s Palsy!
I talked to two doctors. The first thought that I may not have cleared the Lyme’s disease that originally caused the Bell’s Palsy and that I needed more antibiotics. The second thought that I already cleared Lyme’s but am having lingering neurological effects from it (and I could be this way forever.) My original doctor only gave me a two week supply of antibiotics whereas the usual treatment for neurological Lyme’s is three weeks. To make sure I don’t have bacteria lingering inside me they gave me another three week course of antibiotics. Yay. Now I get to have an upset stomach and a fuzzy head for the rest of January.

No I’m not mocking you. Why?

JUGSSSSSSSS
IS TO EAT LOTSSSSS F NATURAL YOGURT !! IT HELPS EASE YOUR TUMMY. IT PUTS BACK THE GOOD BACTRIA !!
THAT THE ASNTIBIOTCS TAKE OUT
HUGSSSSSSSSSSS
I can’t eat dairy, so I am making lots of sourdough! 👍
GOTCHA !! BREAD IS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE
January is overrated anyway. Stock up on soup (and yogurt!), put on some fuzzy slippers to match your head, and stream Animal Planet videos. 🤗
I like that plan! 👍
Aw. Sorry you are going through all of this now…still.
But indulge in the things that make you feel comfy, like soft blankets and pillows, wear comfy clothes, eat your fave comfort foods, ETC, and January will pass quickly.
BESTEST wishes for you getting completely well!
Okay! I must say…that photos is THE sweetest! I love it! I love THAT face! It makes me smile!
(((HUGS))) and ❤️❤️❤️
Geordie was a very photogenic guy! 😊❤️
He was! 🙂
Doctors get so worried about antibiotic abuse that they don’t give you enough to cure you! Mother had this problem in her later years.
I am sorry to hear that. ☹️ *hugs*
Take care of yourself.
well poop a pineapple! January is only eclipsed by February as my most hated month. And you get no breaks here, do you?
What’s a break? 😆
can you go to another doctor who can give you a better idea what you are facing? Sending prayers
I can speak to a neurologist, but with Bell’s Palsy, it just kind of does what it wants to do.
Hugs! At least you got the full course of antibiotics to treat Lyme disease this time. Here is some more information about long term effects of dealing with advanced stage Lyme disease https://www.envita.com/conditions/lyme-disease?msclkid%5B0%5D=fa7de33cc26615bc69508695b3989eeb&msclkid%5B1%5D=fa7de33cc26615bc69508695b3989eeb&utm_source%5B0%5D=bing&utm_source%5B1%5D=bing&utm_medium%5B0%5D=cpc&utm_medium%5B1%5D=cpc&utm_campaign%5B0%5D=Lyme%20Disease&utm_campaign%5B1%5D=bing-cpc-lymeDisease&utm_term%5B0%5D=lyme%20disease&utm_term%5B1%5D=lyme%20disease&utm_content%5B0%5D=Lyme%20Disease&utm_content%5B1%5D=lymeDisease
Stay warm and safe! I hope you feel better soon. Can you have kimchi? It has probiotics and will help your gut.
Oh, thank you for the article! I don’t know where to get kimchi around here, but I’ve been having daily sourdough and vinegar tea. (It tastes better than it sounds! 😆)
Oddly enough, most regular grocery stores are now carrying kimchi near the refrigerator pickles. Refrigerated Sauerkraut also has probiotics, so that might allow you a more varied diet.
I have some sauerkraut. Now if I could just bring myself to enjoy eating it…..
Haha! 😅
