For any person with chronic Lyme disease that feels worse after taking a shower, this information is for you.

With no truth to save
For an effort has grown dim
The hurt will remain
In all that has always been

​Before I begin this blog post -- yes, I have a time machine -- I want to apologize for any grammatical errors you may come across as my head is a little off today. I know, some of you are thinking, “Well, if you have a time machine, why not just go back to when your head was clearer -- or better yet, after chronic Lyme?” Good point, except that I recently acquired the time machine this morning -- you can only go as far back in time to when the time machine was acquired. Also, as much as I’d love to be at the time in my life where I was over chronic Lyme, I’d miss out on a lot of the good experiences that would occur during chronic Lyme’s stay, or would I? Oh, I don’t have a time machine and this is all just a theory.

The deepest sleep I ever had in my entire life, or at least in a long, long time, was last night. What do I attribute it to? I would have to attribute it to the Red Borneo Kratom I took, but more importantly, the larger dose of modified citrus pectin I increased to the night before.

Sleep has never really been an issue with me while dealing with chronic Lyme disease. I've always slept deep regardless of how I felt, but as of late, the insomnia had been occurring, but not as frequent as you'd think; regardless, insomnia has been occasionally present. So how do I deal with insomnia? Well, in the beginning I would take Valerian Root, and it worked, but then its efficacy wore off. So then I upgraded to liquid melatonin and that worked amazingly! Unfortunately, I learned that taking melatonin for extended periods of time can induce unwarranted psychological symptoms and an irregular heartbeat - two symptoms Lyme had long since bestowed.
