Is That You, Mr. H? I am always amazed when I experience God in the minor details of life. It was the first of three nights that I would be home alone. I was hoping to see Phelps win one of his gold medals, but it was getting late. I decided to spend the night on the couch so I wouldn’t have to get up and go to bed when it was done. My stomach was feeling a little growly, but didn’t think much of it until around 2 AM. I awoke with the shaking chills, headache, severe muscle and stomach pain, fever, and weakness. For the first time since taking my Lyme’s protocol, I was really sick. The doctors tell me that this is good news, but it sure doesn’t feel like it. Knowing that I’ve acted weirdly when I’ve had the shaking chills in the past, it didn’t take long for me to call Crysten. I didn’t think it was wise to be alone. Bless her, she grabbed her flashlight and walked right over. Good thing I was on the couch because I wouldn’t have been able to make my way downstairs to unlock the door. But, I could manage to unlock the door right above my head as I lay on the couch. Thank you, Lord, for working out that detail for me. Crysten stayed until she had to go to work at noon. I knew I was well enough to stay alone, but still dealing with severe sweats, pain, headache, fatigue and weakness. I slept all day, went upstairs to bed at 8 PM and slept until 6 AM this morning. The symptoms keep retreating and by tomorrow, I hope to be resuming life. I’m always thankful that my life allows me to just drop everything and rest – which is the key to healing. Not that I have any choice… even though I try to convince myself that I probably could get up off the couch if I really wanted to – I’m kidding myself. I did a little more web surfing about the Babesia strain that I have… and discovered that there are 100 species. To have even one is so rare, that by 1995 there were only 500 cases on record.
And another tidbit that I discovered was that this condition is probably one of the plagues of Egypt. Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain. Exodus 9:3 The record of its onset immediately after the plague of flies makes it probable that these germs were carried by these insects. Cattle don’t experience malaria like humans do, but they do get tick borne illnesses which mimic malaria (implied in the word murrain, making it probable that it could be the Babesia form of Lyme’s disease. Interesting, don’t you think? |
These buggers invade red blood cells, replicate and then destroy the red cells to the point of anemia.Comments
