Hello everyone! 

So as you can see i haven't written anything in a while here. Honestly i forget people even read my blog. I originally started this as an online journal to catalog my experiences in figuring out what the hell is wrong with me. Over the course of this blog and my journey through my Lyme disease i have made many good friends from all over the globe. In which you were all successful in reminding me how bad i am at updating my blog as of late.. so thank you for the emails to kick me in the ass :)

So good news, bad news..

Recently i left my last job managing a physical therapy clinic to move to a larger,  integrative and function healthcare facility. This move was strategically made in order to fit my needs as of this moment. I needed to move to a company where taking a day off because i was sick wasn't such a big deal, i needed better benefits and as a bonus i actually see a few doctors in my new facility now. Staff perks include free treatments (yoga therapy, craniosacral massage, energy re-alignment, IV therapy etc), reduced copay and out of pocket expenses and more. Although this is now a solid 45-60 minutes to drive to work now, i think this was a great move for myself now and for the future. 

OKAY enough about me gloating about my new job (currently on week 2). Other things… Since starting my new job, i'm not sure if it was random timing or if its the mercury retrograde or the actual job itself but something is taking a huge tole on me. My energy is way down, my barriers are down making it difficult to not be empathic and take on others negative emotions, the amount of foods that are "safe" has decreased significantly, body aches and pains are becoming increasingly difficult, and my headaches and light sensitivity along with VERY difficult body weakness has returned. Oh did i mention nausea too? I am now seeing a lyme specialist once every week for a laser treatment and every other for a full treatment. I have an appointment for a few weeks out to have a consult with the head MD at my facility to talk about alternative treatments since i find I'm not doing so well just with my one doctor. And then next week i meet with a NP at my work to get orders signed off to start a magnesium IV as per orders from my other lyme doctor. I do notice when my magnesium levels are really low i do have low energy and extreme weakness, so i truly hope this will make a difference.

This past weekend i got certified as a Reiki level 1 practitioner!! I am super excited to be on my journey in my health and wellness fields. I am looking into getting my RYT to become a yoga teacher as well. Although that probably wouldn't happen for another semester or two. 


Anywhos i'm ranting and this will be edited and have fancy photos and whatnot added in later.

Just so everyone knows i am alive and doing relatively okay. Just keep taking it day by day… one day at a time.
