About the_beast

The Bad News: I have Lyme Disease. I have had it for 8 years now but did not get a diagnosis until 2 years ago. I am on IV antibiotics to try to go into remission. Treating Lyme disease is a lot like treating cancer, there is no cure and my best option is to get into remission and then hope not to relapse. The antibiotics are a lot like chemo, they kill the Lyme bacteria but they also kill good bacteria and that makes me very sick. I do the antibiotics in cycles often 1-2 weeks at a time and then I take 1-2 weeks off, rinse and repeat ad nauseum. I spend most of my time on the computer in bed and which is ironic because I never really sleep. I am a bat in training. <^oo^> The Good News: I like warm and fluffy things-like dinosaurs, Ice Bat, Stitch, and spending time with my dogs/bunny. I enjoy music, abstract art, walking in the rain without shoes or an umbrella, doughnut holes, believing everything has a reason and then spending time doubting this theory, research, eastern thinking and sometimes medicine, being Peter Pan-never growing up and living moment to moment. I don't like: genocide, late night commercials that make me cry, birds, unnecessary pain, those who chose not help those in need, bare feet on gravel, feeling helpless and unable to help others, seizures, falling, squash, and lost friendship. I am using dailybooth to document my progression through treatment and my daily life, so the pictures aren't always happy, most are shot in the same place, and I often look very tired. I want the pictures to be honest, they are a portrait of my daily life and it is quite an unusual life to lead. If you want to know anything else, just ask.
