Lyme Is Like a Rollercoaster Ride

Lyme is like a rollercoaster- always going up and down.

The past few weeks have been trying for us. I started having more frequent seizures and they can be hard not only physically but emotionally and mentally. They drain you and make you feel like you aren't yourself, like you are out of your body. Most of the time I get confused after and tend to ask some silly question that has to do with nothing 😂

Through it all I've had a solid support system including my sweet husband, family, friends and the Lord who are all so caring and involved. One thing that every Lyme patient needs is someone who will really listen and just be there for them! It can be a lonely disease at times but it can be fought with multiple hands. Never feel like you are alone.

My doctor recently prescribed me an anti-seizure medication called Topamax. We decided to start on an anti-seizure medication to help aid in our fight against the seizures. Anti-seizure medications have side effects too so it is important to weigh the pros and cons of each one. We felt this was right for me at this point in the fight. Since starting them last week I haven't had anymore seizures! One major side effect that I have had with this medication is drowsiness! But Dr J. has me taking it at night so it just helps me to have a great night sleep 😉

Overall we are hanging in there! Taking it day by day and making the best out of it. Each day is an adventure. We are so blessed with amazing support systems! Please help those around you have support systems they can count on. Multiple hands makes the burden lighter.

Love,

Maddie & Landon

P.S.- We love hearing from you! We have gotten to know so many new friends because of this and we hope to keep making many more! Please feel free to email us.
