Things you never thought you'd say. Me: I hope it's Lyme Disease |
|
I worked this summer in a flood canal in Puerto Rico where the bugs had attitude. I also cleared some brush before that back home and we're crawling with deer ticks.
For the past 3-4 months I'm presenting with Lyme or some other bacterial infection (swollen joints, fatigue...) The good news is the (fish, thank you DU) antibiotics seem to have started to knock out the infection...and have hit me with a good fever, as is customary.
This is not a Medical Post, but I'm so glad to finally (only) feel like shit.
Good vibes requested in the upcoming days, weeks, months(?) as I cannot afford medical testing, being a lowly contract Marine Endangered Species Observer.
Just putting it out there, thanks for clicking.

4. oh, take care of yourself... |

I just got the hospital bill (just under $600) for going into the ER (it was Sunday) two weeks ago and having them dig out a deertick that had been embedded in my hip for days (I couldn't reach it and my partner couldn't get him out...ugh!)
I am sending good vibes your way... Lyme's Disease is nothing to sneeze at!
