Lyme Blog

I am feeling improvements. I feel less hard and hostile.

You know when the mirror is all steamed up in the bathroom and you wipe away a circle so you can see yourself? That is how I feel right now...like I can see an image of myself and I am getting closer to her.

The anxiety became acute this past week. I had difficulty transitioning from one situation to another. For example, I would feel safe and serene taking a walk with my sister, I would not want to literally get off the track. I would feel anxious about having to continue to the next activity for the day. Another example, I would not want to get off the Boston New York Chinatown bus as we entered NY. I would feel comfortable in the environment and I would not want to disrupt it. If there was a stop along the way, forget it...I would become fearful.

I talked to my Lyme doctor, he said it was my temporal lobe. I asked him for an anti anxiety medication which he prescribed. I have not taken it but I feel better having it with me as a precautionary measure.
