Bobby's headaches continue. He has been to a naturopath, an acupuncturist, a chiropractor, a masseuse, and maybe others. He thinks he might have Lyme disease. Symptoms of Lyme include swollen lymph nodes, headaches and fatigue. He has those symptoms. Doctors don't think it is lymes. He has blood tests. It's not lymes. I say "'maybe it's celiac disease" that's what my doctor and her entire staff say no matter what the sympton. I say "wouldn't that be great if you could just change your diet and the headaches would go away". He agrees that it would be great. Said he would give it a try. It's not celiac.
I remember the summer he graduated from high school. He got sick. He tried to push through. He didn't want dad to be upset or think he was faking it. He got really sick. I took him to the "doc in the box". Said it wasn't strep. They were wrong. He got worse. I took him to the "real" doctor. It was strep and pharahangitis and an inflamation of the lining around his heart. He was really sick. Antibiotics and rest. He got better.
He works. He loves his work. It takes his mind away from the pain. Work is more difficult because of the pain. He pushes through.
More tests. We wait to hear.
