Offering HOPE through #lyme, #endometriosis and other chronic illnesses
If I wrote this post a month ago, my post would have started with "Happy New Year!" In the chronic illness community, are we too far into the year to still say that?

It's finally a beautiful day here in Pennsylvania, sunny and 80 degrees, which is a nice reprieve from the last week of blistering 95-98 degrees with high humidity. Weather where you wilt in 60 seconds. So, I decided to camp out on our deck to write my next post for Hope Through Chronic Illness. To … Continue reading Tug of War With God on Continued Suffering

Those symptoms are the Lyme disease reacting to the antibiotics, the disease fighting back against … Continue reading Herxing — Another Weird Part of Lyme
"Wow, that just doesn't make sense," I said to the ENT doctor. He explained how I had some structural problems in my nose that are probably the cause of some severe sinus pain I've been experiencing for the past 6 months. It didn't make sense because I've never had sinus problems in my life, and … Continue reading Lyme Disease…the Battle Begins Again
