Hello there !
Like you've probably noticed on instagram and Facebook, seeing my friends 10 days ago gave me a pretty nice mental health boost :).
I was seriously starting to get depressed being alone all the time.
Of course, seeing them did not make the disease go away ( too bad!) but it did wonders anyway.
Even though I felt extreme pain on the saturday due to my problem in my right side , it didn't stop us enjoying our time together. When they suggested to help me putting on a costume and taking pictures, I really wasn't sure about it. I was exhausted, and I didn't feel like it. But then I told myself : do it ! the next time you get some help may not be that soon!
My friends :

And me eating a PIZZAAAA
I warned them that I would need time to get ready, like A LOT of time but they didn't mind. They installed my home studio and since I have artificial lightning, not being ready during day time wasn't an issue.
Pitchoune helped with the makeup as you can see:

I remember my friend Aurelien having to help me switching poses XD. Once I was sitting down I couldn't stand up by myself XD. We should have recorded the thing, it's was pretty awkward XD
------------------------------
So let me show you some of the pictures we took. Obviously I edited them on photoshop. ( or maybe I just have magical powers?)
Yes I know, I don't have the accurate scepter , but I don't have them all, it's a pretty expensive collection so I did with what I already possessed.
Oh and the costume (the dress) is a gift, I didn't even do it ! I should be ashamed but I love it too much !

The health topic now :
Well depression has been better since the past week end, I hope it's gonna last.
Every 10 days I'm going to a therapist called an Etiopath. She is working on the functional part of my body and let's say that since I have been seeing her, I see positive changes in my right side ! Like big changes !
After each session, the pain is tremendous, but then each time after a couple of days, I notice an improvement. Conventional medicine say they can't help but that women can. The only problem is that Lyme disease is screwing with her work all the time: she allows my body to function better ( my biliary tracts precisely) , but then after a while, it starts slowing down and dysfunctioning over again.
But at least I found something helping me , even if I have to go for the years to come.
I'll also start another therapy next week which is called "neurofeedback". I hope it will help my brain cope with all the anxiety and maybe more. It's not rational anxiety you know. For example, when I'm happy or just being a bit enthusiastic, my body starts having fever and panicking, my legs shake, I'm cold sweating and feel like i'm going to pass out. . I have all the physical symptoms of anxiety but my mind is : well uh? what's going on ?I'm calm, what are you doing stupid brain?
The good news : My tummy is WAY better than it was one year ago! All the treatments I went trough were not useless ! I even drank a full fresh home made carrot juice tonight, if I had done this 4 months ago, I would have ended up to the IR .
But now that my tummy is on the way of healing, why am I not taking antibiotics for lyme disease?
Well... both my doctors ( german and french) are against the long term antibiotherapy in my case and...I have to say I agree with them. I just got better from severe tummy condition due to past abusive antibiotic therapies and medications . Having to take like 6 antibiotics at the same time would ruin everything once again and probably not make me better on the Lyme subject.
I've already been taking 3 antibiotics for months now and i'm going to stick with those for a undetermined time.
Besides the antibiotics, I have started another treatment which is called" low dose naltrexone " but we don't know if it's going to help. I'm not even able to take the full dose at the moment , it makes me way too sick. Plants also make me sick so we have to find alternatives.
So for now, the major remaining symptoms of my disease are the daily muscles/articulations pain, recurrent fevers, extreme exhaustion and the irrational anxiety. I did several blood test to see how is my immune system reacting, I'll probably get the results next month .
Anyway, Tummy is almost totally pain free and my right side will probably follow that road too !

Good night :)
