And So the Journey Continues

My last blog was all about the discovery that I have Lyme and my plan to document the journey, wherever it leads me.  So, here I am today, feeling frustrated with the level of pain and general malaise in my body and my complete inability to do a thing about it.  I am still anxiously waiting for the herbs and herbal tinctures that I've ordered to arrive and  I'm taking my antibiotic religiously. (Which, now that I am in the third week, is causing a rather annoying fungal infection - oh, JOY!)

My Journey With Lyme

My journey with Lyme began a little over a month ago - quite recent compared to some horror stories which I've heard about.  It all began with a tick, as Lyme journeys are wont to do, which is ironic when you consider the fact that I am a serious creepy-crawlyphobe.  I'd give it a real scientific name, but it's not as simple as arachnophobia or insectophobia, so let's just leave that at that.

At any rate, the irony is, I was dressed to fend off the unwanted beasties.  My socks were long and tight on my calves; my pants were elastic at the ankles. I had my shirt tucked into my pants, and long sleeves on.

Product Testing - iQ Derm SmartLash

I've never had long, luscious lashes.  I have to layer on the mascara to even get them to show up.  Same goes for my eyebrows, but that's another story.  I've gotten so used to not seeing them (they're very fair) that if I do try to pencil them in, even with the lightest shade of eyebrow pencil, I look like some kind of clown.

As I said, the eyebrows are another story.  Let's get back to the lashes.  So, I got this tube of eyelash enhancer called iQ Derma SMARTLASH Eyelash Enhancer.  The manufacturer claims that it is completely free from the harsh side effects of other lash enhancement products, and is ophthalmologist-approved for wearers of contact lenses and sensitive eyes. Results may be seen in as little as seven days.  Well,  I'm game! Let's see what happens.
