On Ash Wednesday I began a juice fast as a part of my Lent observance. Also began reading Purpose Driven Life, which takes 40 days, just like Lent; you don't count the Sundays in your countdown to Easter of 40 days, I stopped believeing in coincidence several years ago, like soon after I became ill. I was Treated for MS for 6 years, can you believe it, before finally being diagnosed with lyme on Sept, 8 07. I have taken the amoxicillan/doxy regeime for 4 months. Now i just began a different anti, cant remember the name. Doc in Pittsburg says I should see some improvement by the end of March. I'm also taking samento, burbur,cumanda and several other supps. FOr the last several days, the fatigue has been overwhelming. The joint pain and stiffness is starting to worry me because if there is one thing I still enjoy doing is playing the piano, and other instruments; violin, guitar etc. I sure hope my hands and fingers don't get to the point that I can't play, that would be devastating. Also, I am going to try to give up smoking during Lent. Smoking is one of the worse things I could possible do since lyme loves an oxygen deprived environment. I have to quit. I will not improve unless I stop. The addiction to nicotine is tremendous. I'm hoping the juicing will help since I'm really trying to detox. I know of whom I must rely and call upon for help, help me not to forget to look unto the hills from whence cometh my help. Pje sat evening

Yesterday I did not make any fresh juice and this morning I woke up at 6 am with some of the worse pain I have had in my legs and knees in a long time. I am unsure if there is any correlation or not but I don't think I'll forget to juice today. It's 11 am and the pain is still hanging on. I'm discouraged, especially since it's V day and I feel so rotten. I've got to get back on track with Lentage, my reading and prayer were slack yesterday, and my fasting was horrible. Maybe today, Maybe this day I will practice more self-discipline and humility. Maybe today I will "Draw nigh" as I must if I am to make it through this trial. I'm also reading Purpose Driven Life, and the author mentions, trials, trusts, and temporary assignment. Seems like lyme really fits the trial category, everyday, practically every hour and minute. The author says I am to use this trial time to figure out what my PURPOSE really is; I have a lot of ideas as to what I think my purpose is but I feel so bad I don't have the energy, strength, or painfree time to pursue some of the things I believe I am supposed to be doing? I know this is not correct, maybe, but , I keep thinking, if I were only well, or at least had some relief from the fatigue and pain, I could at least get started, I never thought my life would turn out like this. It's confusing, it's downheartening, but I know there are millions of people in much worse shape than I am, I just wish I felt like trying to help others, is that so bad?? OK, I've stopped venting, it's a beautiful snow covered day outside with the sun shining. I am thankful for the blessings I have. I miss my girls.
