The title of this essay was supposed to be ‘REMISSION.’ Yep, I had my 3:30 Lyme doctor appointment where I found out the results of my third blood test for the Protomyzoa Rheumatica. Yep, one test away from REMISSION. Good news: the Protomyzoa Rheumatica is gone. Bad news: I now have a variant of the PR. Another protozoic son of a bitch.

No one could figure out what was causing all my ailments. My latest diagnosis was ‘Lupus’. Three years ago, I was six months into treatment with my very first hope that I might ‘get better.’ At that point, getting better meant not being bed ridden. Two years ago, my nephew committed suicide and I had a setback (for obvious reasons). But I was no longer bedridden. I could do more than one activity on some weekends. I was well enough to travel to Colorado. A year ago, I was a month into the new protocol and felt better than I had in five years. I am...
