Farewell tonsils!

I have a cold and my throat has been so sore that I can only swallow fluids. Therefore, my diet has consisted of tea, smoothies, fruit and cold applesauce for the last few days. I had an appointment yesterday at the hospital to see if I can have my tonsils removed. Fortunately the doctor approved, and my tonsils will be removed in the first week of June. Some good news, which I desperately needed after two weeks which were totally controlled by Lyme. Back to bed for now, to give my body some energy to get rid of the cold and sore throat!

Update

It has been two weeks after I have had my last intravenous antibiotic treatment. All the antibiotics should have left my body by now. Sadly enough, I´m starting to feel worse again. Some symptoms which where less obvious during the antibiotic treatment have come back. My memory has become ‘lazy’ again, which I find one of the scariest things about lyme as it makes me feel as if I have lost control. This means writing lot of things down, and making to-do lists. I also feel very panicky and scared, without any reason. My appetite has completely vanished, yet again (this seemed to be better during the antibiotic treatment). And on top of all that I still have all my usual lyme symptoms. Not a good week, but still staying positive that this treatment is going to work!! To end on a positive note, my favorite smoothie recipe:
 



Recipe

1 Sliced mango
1 sliced Banana 
1 glass freshly squeezed orange juice
3 Sliced carrots
 
Combine everything in a blender/juicer and enjoy!
