Hi Farmsisters!
Thank you all for your prayers! Good news! The test/scan I was so nervous about was late last week. My doctor called and all is good! Positive, positive news! On the right track now! Just have to go for more blood work in a few weeks to make sure I am all a-okay, but I feel great, energetic, and back to normal! I am productive, no aches, no pain, and am feeling so much better, after a year of feeling poorly! I am so happy to have found a doctor who listened to me, and recognized what was going on. One really has to be their own advocate. I wish I would have said something to you all before, but I was really frightened and not sure what was going on. Thanks again for all your love and prayers, girls! Ticks are nasty, nasty creatures!
Also, to update, my dad is sooo much better, too. :)
Big, happy, farmgirl hugs,
Nicole

Hi Girls!
Wonderful news!!! I went to my last doctor appointment yesterday. My blood work is PERFECT! I am back to normal!!!!! Yippeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a long road to get to this point...over a year and a half. Tick illness can and do mimic so many other problems. Many thanks for all your prayers and cards over this long period. Now I am back to my old self! I am so very thankful!
Lyme can "hide", so I will watch for symptoms in the future, but for now, things are a-okay.
Farmgirl Hugs,
Nicole

Ugh. I wasn't feeling well again, and had to head back to my doctor. I hate being sick, or taking things slow! Anyway, I have been treated for my Lyme illness AGAIN. Apparently, it can lie dormant and be "brought back on" by stress. With my classes I am taking, and classes I am teaching, and burning the midnight oil, I was under the weather. I remember being bitten by a tick in early December, thinking it was awfully late for the critters. Definitely the same icky symptoms as last time.
So I am now off the antibiotic, but I could use some prayers that I can get rid of this Lyme bug for good, and get my system back in balance!
Do yourself a favor...take tick bites seriously and watch yourself in brush. I never wore long sleeves and pants because I would get too hot when I was clearing the brush on my property.
I'm "mama hen" and don't like taking it easy! But I also need to learn to not burn that midnight oil too much!
Farmgirl Hugs,
Nicole

Praying for you Nicole, I have heard and read about lyme disease, and I bet you are very uncomfortable, so I am sending my prayers up for you.
Take care.

Sending prayers your way, Nicole, for regaining your health again. I know how hard it is to take it easy as I am one of those who fight being sick in any way. Hopefully, the antibiotic therapy will get you back on track soon and feeling much better!!

Nicole, prayer offered up for your peace of mind and for healing.
One thing I have learned from living with MS is that stress will trigger fatigue and other symptoms. We can't always live stress free, but when it does occur extra rest, good nutrition, and positive thinking will help us through it. Asking God for an extra helping of his grace & mercy gets me through a lot of bad times.

Oh, Nicole... I was hoping you were completely healed and whole, and would never have to worry about this again.. I know this setback must be very difficult for you. Please know I'm praying. Try not to let this get you down. I know feeling so yucky after feeling so good must be depressing, but remember - you DID get better before! That's a HUGE deal, girlfriend! You also have a great doctor who really understands this disease, and that's ANOTHER huge deal! God made things come together for your good; He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, so you can trust that He will do it again! And again, and again, if need be! He loves you and is watching over you, He will never leave nor forsake you. And this time, your farmgirl sisters are praying for you, and counting on Him to heal you - that's ANOTHER huge deal! Keep the faith - you WILL get better! Good things WILL come! :) Love you, sister. Let's talk soon, okay? Big hugs - Nini

Thank you all. I didn't want to bother anyone but a few farmgirls were emailing me wondering where I was. Yup, not feeling right again. The stronger antibiotic was tough to take, but I am so far, feeling better than I was. Hopefully I am all done with this now!
Learned at a CTNOFA (organic farmer organization) winter conference to take 16 0z water in a spray bottle with 1 oz of oil of eucalyptus, and keep it by the door to spray on pets and clothes before going outside. Course, right now we don't have ticks yet as everything is still frozen. But what a good idea.
Anyway, I will keep you all posted. Think I am on the right track again.
Farmgirl Hugs,
Nicole

Thanks, girls! I was disappointed that I started to feel poorly again, but I did have another tick bite late fall. My doctor fussed at me for not telling him! I took my round of antibiotics, and am on some good herbs, and feel better. My doctor says it can't take four months to bounce back completely, though I am doing much better.
Love my farmgirls! Thanks for praying for me!
Farmgirl Hugs,
Nicole
