Stepping into the Light

I've never been one to keep a steady journal, or blog regularly, though I've always had a passion for writing since I was a child. I would go months and months without writing in my diary or post a new blog but in the end never continue on with it. This I'm hoping will change or at least will be different as I'm going through this stage in my life. In August of 2010, after 11 months of suffering through sickness, pain, doctors, tests, insomnia, anxiety, exhaustion and feeling like I was going crazy, I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. The relief that flooded into me after hearing the initial diagnosis was overwhelming, but I finally had an answer. One day I'll or maybe it will take several, I'll write about those 11 months and these past 7 months of waiting until I was able to start treatment. It came down to this; I was done, I couldn't wait any longer on my doctor and I needed to stop putting my life on hold for this disease that has been slowly and painfully taking over my mind and body the past 18 months. So now I'm on antibiotics, large doses, and I'm not really sure where or when this will end. I'm hoping only a couple of months. We'll see. Until that time, I'll be here, writing, putting down my thoughts as I struggle to overcome this disease that has taken so much of my time.
