Sunday we went for a bike ride as a family. My husband loves mountain biking and really wants me to start doing it with him. It was a bit crazy - the two of us, my husband pulling a trailer with our youngest, two boys on bikes with training wheels and our oldest on her own bike. But we had fun. I forgot how much I enjoy biking. I went down a hill and got a little too confident and decided to try to go down a steep, narrow embankment (made entirely of loose dirt) because I'm so cool I can't just follow the trail. Needless to say, I ate it good. I landed on my side and woke up Monday with two large bruises and pain over the entire right side of my body. It was still fun, though, even though our oldest daughter was grumpy and scowling in the above picture. (She's a bit dramatic!)
Last night I felt well enough to go to Pound class at the gym. My joint pain has been more minimal, which is always a welcome relief. I don't know how long it will last but I'll take it. I miss working out. I used to go 4 days a week, but I've had to slow it down. I've been aiming for twice a week but sometimes only make it once. It's hard to gauge whether the workout will make me feel worse or better, so if I'm feeling pretty crummy I usually just stay home. Thankfully, the last two times I've gone I've felt great afterward.
My feet have still been taking a beating thanks to Bart and my eyes are still twitching, but it seems to be happening less. Today I had a killer headache but because my stomach issues have gotten better, I've been able to take OTC pain meds again. I'm scoping out some ideas for adding in herbals to my treatment. Right now I'm checking out Samsara's Lyme herbal powder formula. I think the antibiotics are working, I mean they must be. It's only been (almost) 11 weeks, most people treat for 6 months or more. I don't want to rush things, but it's hard to be patient during treatment.
I'm hoping this streak of feeling better continues!
