Pillows, big stacks of them

I'm thrilled to say I'm still in a good stretch. Days in a row where I feel as close to normal as I am ever able to, well, for the past several years. Yet strangely, the last couple of nights, my face has been turning sunburnt-red around 8 pm or so. I haven't changed anything in my routine, my supplements, my meds... What is going on???

Typical lyme... Sometimes I can guess why odd symptoms show up, other times I'm pretty darn near 100% sure why, and yet there are too many days where I don't have even the tiniest of clues. Oh well.

I'm loving the big pile of pillows on my bed through this. Supporting my burning head and pitch red face... The weary, inflamed body. Do you ever wonder what must be going on to the tissues inside when your skin is burning up on the outside too? Yikes. I haven't tried to look but I can feel the skin on my back radiating heat like hot summer pavement too.

I won't take a pic of my face. (The mirror is even too much!). But here is the stack of glorious pillows. :)

Ah ha! After writing all of this (which of course isn't much, but I'm on an iPad in bed and have not mastered typing on it with any efficiency so it feels like a tonne!), I realize I HAVE added a new supplement. I started taking NT Factor again yesterday. Ooooo, coincides with the change in symptoms too! I was on it before - months ago - and didn't notice any physical change. And it's pricey, so I stopped taking it. But suddenly felt an inkling to try again. (My latest strategy in regards to meds, supplements, therapies, etc. is not to stress but to simply go with my gut while listening as best I can to my body). The promises of NT Factor are incredible - fatigue reduction, energy increases, cells working up to 45% better - check it out here. I have heard of other lyme patients it has helped, and my doctor claimed it's great for chronic fatigue. There are a few bottles left in my cupboard so I thought it was worth another shot.

I don't really want to stop it again.... But am seriously wondering about the intense hot red skin I've got going on. I guess I'll give myself until morning to decide. Back to the pillows....
