Lyme Disease
Reggie has now been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. With this comes many challenges. A series of a couple antibiotics for at least 3 months as well as a gluten free and sugar free diet. He has been told that as the antiobiotics do their job, there will be increased pain. Seeing the pain he is currently in, it is hard to imagine him in more pain. Prayer will be much appreciated. As far as the Fibromyalgia, this may be in addition to Lyme or may have actually led to Fibromyalgia. Only time will tell. Through all of this we know God is in control and we will trust Him. Amazing doctor in Kennebunk, thanks to a friend's suggestion.

Jess had lyme and a good friend has it too.. very difficult, pervasive, and painful. There are alternative things you might try, too. I don't know if you've asked about things like that, but the gluten free and white bread foods, sugars all make a difference in the joint pain. I think there is a book on a food diet for rheumatoid arthritis as well... that's something many people attempt to assist pain and swelling with - food. I'm sorry you're dealing with this Brenda and Reggie. It's a struggle...you'll come through with God's help. Claire (Patrick's Mom)
Thanks Claire. I've started researching some recipes for gluten fee meals. It will be an adjustment, but we'll do our best to make him feel better.
