THANK YOU ALL FOR THINKING ABOUT ME...

Melissa is going to post for me and give you all an update...things are super duper rough.

I am finding it hard to believe we are back to me feeling as bad and as sick as I was after surgery a year ago. It's like really bad re-runs....:)

I am overwhelmed and humbled by your love and kindness in thinking about me and noticing my absence. I haven't even been able to log on and that makes me so very sad.

You are all, as always, in my thoughts and I miss you.

Okay....falling back over now...

Love, Em

hi all -

sorry it took me a bit to chime in. i wanted to check with em first to see if she wanted me to post an update (as we'd emailed not long before this post started) & then i've been a bit boggled down the past few days. but...here goes.

most importantly, i know, em checked in herself to let you all know that she's hanging in....however tough it's been.

but to fill you in a bit more...Emily/Dancinglight has been having a super rough time, likely related to the fact that she did start on antibiotics for lyme treatment. she REALLY tried to stick it out but after consult with her POTS doc & Lyme doc & a day at the ER due to dehydration :) she had to stop them earlier this week in hopes that she can at least get back to being able to stay better hydrated. the home IV folks haven't been able to get access so likely there will be more ER trips to try and get things settled down.

even before trying the antibiotics she and her POTS doc have been (understandibly!) frustrated with the lack of help that various treatments have been. while he's used to the challenges of dysautonomia he is also used to most of his patients having at least some improvement from something that he & em have tried.

so....bottom line for now is that the try on the antibiotics didn't go so well. em's limited energy/upright time/ computer time became even more limited than her recent "normal"...more and more so...which is why she hasn't been around on the forum. she has been able to brouse occassionally on the forum or check/write an email here or there but not much at all.

in terms of where to go from here treatment-wiseplans for going forward are a bit unknown at this point but for now things just have to get more stabilized.

WE LOVE YOU EM!

keep on keepin on...somehow things are going to take a turn for the better one of these days....

:D melissa

p.s. if anyone is super confused or has other questions feel free to PM/email me & i can fill in/ clarify as best as i can...

Em, I kept looking for you on the forum. I am so so sorry that you are not doing well with the lyme treatment. Were you taking Roceptin? I tried that at home but we could never keep the access vein open. Have you tried doxiciclan? That may be easier on your system.

I miss you. Hugs of support and hope!
