Dearest Family and Friends,
I have decided to start this blog to make it easier to update everyone on my
health and not send out such long emails!!! Please feel free to visit at
http://rebeccaburdshealthupdates.blogspot.com. From now on I will send an
updated email along with a notice that I have posted the update email on my
blog (feel free to leave comments or questions on my blog if you like). This
way I can record all my previous emails for those who may want to read the
complete story. I will also try to record my journey, the ups and downs, in
order to hopefully help someone else down the road as I concur this illness
with God's strength and direction.
This week I am spending my time in bed researching Lyme and the Borrelia
Burgdorferi bacteria. I am already learning so much. I am more convinced
than ever that this is the bacteria that is wreaking havoc in my body. The
more I read the more I see there is an urgency to find the right Lyme doctor
and receive treatment in order to prevent permanent neurological damage.
I have located a Lyme Specialist with 18 years experience that I would like
to consult with but he lives in Missouri. Please pray that if this is the
right doctor I will be able to get a consult. My neurologist has been great
but it is time to move on to a specialist which was a recommendation he made
in the beginning however my insurance would not cover it. Well insurance or
not we need to get the right care as this bacteria is not to be messed with.
We will need to see great financial release along the way but we will trust
the Lord with each step. I will have to continue with my neurologist until I
find the right Lyme Doctor so I am praying that will happen quickly!!
I ask for your continued prayers that God would guide me in my research and
that this will lead to the proper care after 17 years of searching. If there
is one thing I have learned that I could pass on in a practical way...our
health is our own personal responsibility and we need to take it into our
own hands and become proactive in our search for answers. Ultimately it is
our life, our body, our temple!!!
I am so thankful for all the Lord is teaching me and for each new day He has
given me to continue to fight this battle with Him. Thank you again for all
your love and prayers!!
Blessings,
Rebecca
