The India Story, Lyme Disease

Today I got excellent test results: normal. Although these tests are not searching for Lyme, but merely checking basic bodily functions, I still found myself sad, even if for only a few seconds. I think it's a common residual side-effect for Lymies.

The India Story

People ask me all the time how my life has changed since I got my stem cell treatment. I always reply with “it’s just normal and boring now.” Wonderfully normal and boring though it always feels so anticlimactic, like I should have gotten my life back and run with it. I should have moved to Greece, or gone back to school to be a doctor, or something really dramatic like that. But those were not the things I longed for. I wanted the little things back - the ones that when you don't have, are anything but small. To laugh without hurting, and eat without being sick, and walk without falling.
