I have been taking supplements for lymes disease for almost a week now and have already noticed many improvements. I have not started antibiotics which is how you begin to kill the disease but have been taking supplements to help monitor the inflammation.
Since taking the supplements I have noticed my hips hurt less which is the major joint that has caused me problems the last two months, my organs hurt less, and I have been getting great sleep! For as long as I can remember I haven't had good sleep, I would always lay in bed for an hour or two before sleeping and wake up tired and it has been like that for so long that I thought it was normal. Come to find out it's not normal but its one of the lymes symptoms. Since beginning the supplements I have had amazing sleep, I don't stay up for hours, I fall asleep right away and actually wake up before my alarm clock!
I am still having some memory problems and word confusion but my roommate has a good theory that because they were the last symptom maybe they will be the last to go, I guess we will wait and find out.
2 Corinthians 4:16-17 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison.
I was reminded of this verse today and have been thinking about how every single person dies, how every minute we live we are one minute closer to death. One day every one of our bodies will decay, our bodies will give out on us and let us down as we age but that is the process of life. It is beautiful to be reminded that although our bodies are decaying because of Christ our hearts and souls are being renewed constantly. People can look at my body and see pain, weakness, illness but when people look at my heart they can see the renewal that only Jesus can bring.
In the process of treatment I have seen many good changes in my health and am excited to see how the rest of treatment goes but it is always good for me to remember that the renewal of my soul is a much greater gift from God than the renewal of my body.
On Wednesday I am headed to Columbia Missouri for my first doctor appointment with the lymes disease specialist. Please be praying for the appointment.
*I am done with parasite medicine on monday! Please pray for endurance to the end of it
*That my memory would not be a hinderance to the gospel
*That the Lord will continue to refine me through this process
*Praise: I have lymes disease
