Spoon in brain!!

The last week I've wanted to update but every time I come on to do so, my mind goes blank. I have no idea what I wanted to update about. I've been having a lot of problems with my concentration, racing thoughts and just brain fog recently. I will be thinking about totally random things, having no idea why. And the next minute I have no idea what I was thinking. Mind will be completely blank. Its in these moments that all I can think is...

...."I can't think"!! 

Its is in these moments that I used to yell, "spoon in brain!!" because it simply is like having somebody stirring your brain with a spoon. But now, I can't ever think of that one saying that I want to say at that moment. Oh well. 

The only thing I can think of to update you on is that my BUN is up to 5 now. It had been 4 for about a month or more. The normal range is 8-20 so we are getting there, slowly but surely. I think I've been on the amino acids for about 3 weeks(???) now. 

Also, my CD57 is 12 now. My last testing was probably 8-10 months ago and it had been 23 then. The CD57 is your killer cell level and it is a kind of measure of your immune system. Only the Lyme spirochetes lower the CD57. The ideal range is 200-360. They won't stop treatment until you are at least 150-200-ish. So, as you might imagine, I have a long way to go. 

*And people think I'm faking this....  (sigh)
