About this Blog
~Hi, my name is Courtney. I was a full time college student, starting to be a dancer, and used to work with kids part time, living on my own until my illness disabled me.
~I became sick in 2005. I created this blog in the summer of 2006 to record my "headache" diary and to see if anyone finds it interesting.
~12/2006 I lost my job then after, failed a year of college.
~2/2007 Dx Lyme Disease with Bartonella: prescribed 8 months of oral antibiotics. I'm not even sure if I ever had the Lyme Disease.

I have been told it is a sign of infection in immunocompromised people...
how lame. my previous doctor said that your body does what it can to fight an infection but my bio teacher said that its a reaction to having a fever. glad i'm not the only one. i'm begining to think i have POTS. I looked it up and there were a few symptoms on there that i have that explains a little more than CFS. i'm trying some salt more to see if it helps. im not gonna go crazy or anything. i see the doctor thursday. does anyone find that a good doctor who understands fibro wont understand another invisible disease? the doctor is a fibro expert with an outpatient fibro clinic and everything. and hes a rheumy and a gp. another doc in the same office is a rheumy and an internist
have you guys been checked for hypothyroidism? it causes low temperatures at night.
yes. my levels are fine. i've had blood work and a cat scan and thyroid test. all basic but everything is fine. i usually have low blood pressure but not too low cuz i guess they would say something.
