Awwwwww! He’s so cute! And it’s good that you’re doing better, as well! 😊🎈 

Best wishes on your recovery. It looks like you have a great companion in Rex. 

Happy for your recovery and glad you are here. Rex looks like a true oversized lap dog. 

Welcome back!  

You look terrific! And your pup is adorable... What a sweet face! I am so sorry for the rotten struggles you have been though. What a victory that you are managing so well now!!!😁 😁  

I'm glad you're recovering well and hope that continues. Nice looking pup, good luck on your journey. 

I have chronic Lyme too.  

I'm glad to hear you are recovering from Lyme disease. 

That’s great to hear you’re recovering well! A friend of mine has had Lyme forever, ok sharing your secret? 

I hope your recovery goes smoothly and Rex nurses you back to health. Binky puppy is sending warm wishes to you and Rex. Keep up the calorie deficit, but keep up your strength! :) 

I originally contracted Lyme in 2009. It was a year of really bad stuff. Close to organ failure. We finally knocked it out and it took a year of coaxing my body into any kind exercise at all. I got up to 260. The following year which I started on FatSecret and lost a lot of weight, making it down to 216. Then in the winter of 2017 I started feeling bad. By spring I knew something was really wrong and went to my doctor. Lyme isn't supposed to be a reoccurring disease. It's a bacteria not a virus. It's been shown in rare cases that the bacteria somehow goes dormant and then in stressful conditions reactivates. I tested positive for the antibodies May 2018 and fought it with doxycycline for 3 months. It worked. I've been riding my bike again all this summer. I'm averaging 17 miles a day since the 1st week of May.  

OH my!!! Those red circles around a tick bite are nothing to mess with. Sorry you have been through all this. Good that you are back getting exercise and doing better.  

Wishing you good health and a good journey. 🌈🌈🌈
