I’ve been feeling terrible so I went to the doctor to talk about how I’ve been feeling. I expected that I’d be going in for blood tests to confirm that my thyroid levels are off or I have a vitamin deficiency, which is why I’ve been experiencing fatigue. Then she asked if I’ve been in the woods recently (which I have; I went camping for Halloween) and mentioned that it could have been exposed to a tick, therefore Lyme disease could be a possibility as it matches up with my symptoms. This hit me like a shit ton of bricks. I have no words for what’s going through my mind. This is not what I want to be going through right before Christmas. I’m not going to deny that I’m scared to death, but I need to stay positive and keep my fingers crossed that my tests come back normal. Hopeful that it is what I think it is, but not what my doctor has a hunch about. I’ve been feeling bad since before then, but I have felt worse since (it could just be the Holidays that have wiped me out). Now I wait… I should find out in a few days. #BloodTests #LymeDisease #Fatigue #Migraines #Hypothyroidism #ChronicDisease #Scared #Nervous #Anxious #Worried #Confused
