Update on me

in August 2012 Moms
I was finally discharged from the hospital tonight. They are treating me for Lyme/ any other tick disease. The ct scan showed the pain in my neck was from my lymph nodes enlarging from the infection. I was preparing myself for the worst, and couldn't stop crying until i heard no mass. The antibiotic is a gray area for bfing. They say its ok for a little but prolonged use is not safe so I'm a little nervous. The lactation consultant was very helpful. Thank you for the advice to ask for one. So it's just antibiotic, rest, and fluids until I see my family dr next week. DF was awesome and stayed with me the whole time until he asked if he could go see DD so my mom and him switched for an hour. I'm sure he's exhausted after sleeping the first night sitting up in a chair! Thanks for the TPs. Watch out for ticks ladies!

    I've been wondering about you! Yikes on the Lyme disease! That's some scary shiiit! KLil had a scare with this, but she said it's often misdiagnosed. Are they sure that's what it is? I guess I just ask bc the drugs are such a PITA IV isn't it?nbsp;Thank goodness you're nbsp;ok!!nbsp;


    They actually haven't confirmed Lyme but are suspecting some type of tick born illness. The first two doses were ivs but now I take a pill twice a day. I will find out for sure Friday, but since I was feeling better after the first two doses it looks like that's what it is.

    Im so sorry you are going through this I hope you get well soon. Have you tried to call infant risk center about the antibiotics? They are amazingly helpful and have lots of research to back them up.
