Good Morning Sunshine from Butiki Teas
96

I already had my little wake up call (literally) this morning. Long story short I have Lyme Disease…not to worry first dose of meds is already on board. Anyway it was early when I got the call this morning and I wasn’t fully awake. So I dug this out of the box from the order that arrived yesterday. The lemon smell started to give me a little bit of a wake-up. But let me tell you the tea was something else. Zesty, creamy, def an easy push into my day and has kept me going without all the nasty coffee jitters! :)

Oh dear! I’m so sorry! Just what you need…tra la la la la you have lyme disease…and a Happy Holidays to you…blech!
But you are in your right mind and HERE! With a good attitude to begin this whole thing with. Don’t forget to come to this place to complain any time you want to! I for one am all ears! I have a disease that has no cure, so I get what that’s like!

Sorry to hear about the Lyme Disease but glad that you found out about it early.

@Bonnie I’m just happy I’m not nuts as it explains why I’ve been feeling poorly for a few months now. I’m not sure what’s next besides a call to my regular doc Monday. I was in the ER last Monday for massive headache/numbness on left side of face/left arm. I guess the ER doc was pretty smart to run a test for Lyme Disease! I forgot about that test until the ER called this morning. I’m sorry to hear you’ve got something that has no cure. :(

@Butiki well the nurse thinks I may have had it for a bit of time considering the symptoms. But we’ll see when they retest after the course of antibiotics. Thankfully I have a lot of your yummy tea to get me through!!

I echo Stacy’s sentiments. Hopefully you’ll start feeling better once you get through the anitbiotics.

It feels odd to “like” this post, but I’m glad that you have a diagnosis and a doctor who’s starting you on the right medication. Praying that the antibiotics do their job and you are on the mend soon.

Thanks much! I’m keeping positive too. But the hubbins keeps telling me to know my limits. Apparently he’s been googling when I wasn’t looking. My only plans for the rest of the day are: NaNoWriMo, more TEA, some TV, and chinese food that the hubbins suggested I order before he goes out with the boys. I lucked out there!

Ah yes rest. With your symptoms you must have been scared that it was your heart! What a relief that this is something that you will be able to treat! Don’t worry about me, fibromyalgia is what I have to live with. No cure. Not the worse thing though.
Your hub is right, this is something that I believe requires some rest. (and tea!)

ohmygoodness, that’s not a fun disease to have, not fun at all. SO glad you found out what it is and that it’s treatable

@Bonnie – Yes, we both thought I was having a stroke or heart attack. At the time they just sent me home with a new migraine diagnosis (as the head pain was in a new spot, back of the head into the neck with no light trouble/sound). I recall they told me they were doing a test for LD, but I forgot until they called today.

It does explain why I’ve been tired for weeks, why I got the flu so bad, and some other things. No fun. My mom has fibromyalgia, so I know what you are going through. {{hugs}} Now on to the tea and rest.

I hope the antibiotics are doing their stuff :D and that you feel better. I don’t remember much about Lyme Disease or Fibromyalgia… but I’ll send good thoughts out to both of you :D

I only have one dose in at the moment. One more at bed time tonight. Pharmacy dude said I would notice changes in maybe a week or two.

Wow, I am so sorry. Is that why you haven’t been well recently? Hope you do feel better soon.

This might be why I haven’t really felt well for a few months. But yes ER doc thinks I still had the flu, but the LD made it worse than normal.

Bio

Tea lover, wife, mother to three cats, reader, and writer. I started drinking and enjoying tea (yes, yes it was Lipton, but it got me started) when my grandmother first introduced me to tea with milk and sugar (and peanut butter and jelly on toast) and my love just grew from there.

I was brought to loose leaf through a trip to Teavana, but my taste has expanded along with my love of tea in general. Now to get my husband to drink some too! :)

I’m happy to try samples and review them if you are a tea company. PLEASE NOTE I do not want payment for tasting/reviewing your teas. Just the sample will be fine. :)

If you would like to get in touch with me I can be reached via email at thepurrfectcup@gmail.com, thank you.
