Lyme disease

[treemandan]

What, you tested negative? Screw the stupid test! You need to get your ass on meds like NOW! I'll give you a phone number if you want. I'm not kiddin' the clock is ticking! Read that link I just posted. Everything you just described is on there. I have no patience with my kids. I've yelled at them more last week then I have in the last two years.

DOXYCYCLINE is what they gave me today. I went to the ER yesterday but it was so crowded I would have chose to die than to sit there all day when I have work to do. I saw my doc this morning. This medicine is for malaria as well.
If I was only wearing a bikini I would look like the girls who get painted up and dance on Rowan and Martins Laugh In. I got bullseye rashes all over, the doctor was quite taken back when I took off my shirt. I did get a full day in today though.
Tell you what, you supply the bikini and the beer and I will do the dancing. I have been feeling very delirious, eyes feel like they are popping out of my head.
At least my worries of getting Lymes is finally over.

Thank God dude! You should start feeling better in 2 or 3 days. The dizziness and lack of energy is subsiding for me and it's been 7 days since I started taking the pills. The thing is remembering if you've taken one or not. I have a headache this morning but I feel pretty good otherwise. I was out and about yesterday. I went to the lumber yard and then to Tractor Supply. I rolled out 300' of 1" poly pipe, attached a few fittings and then had to lay down and take a nap. I really want to get up on my shop roof but I'm afraid I'll fall off. Also, the Doxycycline strips your skin of its defenses against UV. As long as your on it, use SPF 50 and a hat.

Edit: Doxycycline is used against Anthrax and Bubonic Plague also!

Thanks to everyone and all the info. I think my case was dormant and just now reared up. I was checked out before by the same doc last year BUT yes, its a tricky ailment.
I don't know what is worse the cure or disease. I yak up the pills within minutes of taking them AND now I can't remember how many I have taken BUT they seem to be making a difference allready.
I usually have a few long sleeve shirts for the sun but I still feel funny. I have been going 'animal' on severe storm damage since the 10th of June. I breeezed through an uprooted walnut that was laying in another walnut. I had it strung up with ropes at 1,6 and 9 o'clock from the ground, spiked up the leaner and sliced off the top so it fell through the top of the other walnut them winched it outta the crotch it was in, cut a sideways notch and pulled it over to one side. It could have went better cause my head was spinning but all in all I lowered the the trunk so it came down like a leaf, right in front of my feet and just short of the wires. YeeFN Haa! Jamie was holding it back with the tag line all comfy, I hooked up the come along with the direction of the drop and my truck winch pulled it up and helped control her. Hinge broke when the top off the trunk was 6 feet above the ground. I had the rear of the truck tied to locust behind it... just in case.
By the way, when I say I breezed through it I mean I worked like a SOB. I am happy to have it off my list.
That was the second job today. It went well as the leaner was uprooted from a stream bank and there were very old wires servicing the house. I hope to be done with this storm crap soon but I like the money. I can spend it on long strong ropes and things like that.

Today, I stopped over the farm to see what everyone was doing. Then I ran the mason dump and 9 ton over to Florida to pick up a 4 post oil change rack. I loaded it with a forklift by my self. I strapped it down, got it home. Then I returned a trash pump and picked up some BBQ for the fam. That was it....Had to take a nap. Better then yesterday though.

18 days and feeling much better. I don't think it's the antibiotic that was making me foggy. I dug up a septic tank, graded a side yard, dozed a level pad for a patio and delivered a load of screened top soil and dropped my 9 ton and PC50 at the next job today. Now THAT'S more like it!

Still on the doxycycline twice a day.

Good. I was sick of your complaining, is that ALL you got done?
I still feel kinda funny in the head myself and I took about half the 21 day supply of medicine. I feel this sort of apathy along with some kind of frustration I usually don't experience.
I was on a little vaca all week but my stuff is all gassed and ready for Monday and I hope to rage all week.
I read all the info that came with the medecine, it doesn't say you can't drink. I am not a heavy drinker but what do you think?

I've had a :censored: relapse!
I felt like #### friday, saturday I did a farmers market and felt like a total fool. First customer of the day I got the change wrong. It went down hill from there. I wanted to put new strut cartridges in my car today but I couldn't get out of bed. Slept half the day. I don't know about the drinking but I'm halfway through my second gin and tonic. I have a tree removal tomorrow afternoon. I'm screwed.

Yes, me no feely so great either. Maybe just the medicine as they said it might bring on nausea. Still sleepy and my neck aches. Boy do I feel like a complainer. Stop listening to me and don't give me any ideas... gin and tonic. Do they make that in a snow cone or a slushy?

Yes, my vagina is itchy but it always is anyway.
I did notice my urine looking really dark a few weeks ago but I attributed that to my old saddle. I guess I had all those symptoms during the last few weeks.

I got lyme in 98.. treated with the wrong anti-biotic.. liver damage. highly sensitive to MSG for years.. dealt with it for years... still might have a touch of some infectious disease to fight off... anyhow... i have a friend that went from being a tri-athlete, benching over 300 lbs, to bedridden on a matter of days... He was sick for years... I knew it was lyme after our first conversation... He kept going from one specialist to another getting a slew of different diagnosises... really bad for him.. hard to breath and swallow as it attacked the autonomic nervous system...

Once he realized he had it, he became a bit of an expert on the subject... lyme is a very intelligent bug, very unique, in that it can trick the human immune system... That's because it was genetically engineered at Plum island, a US military biological weapons research facility in the Long Isalnd sound... So was West Nile virus, most likely... Your tax dollars at work...

The ruling elites want a sick poppulation.. much easier to control. Over 50% of the population born after the year 2000 will develop diabetes in theie lives. That is no accident.. It is modern eugenics.. Get the masses sick, get them on drugs for the rest of their lives... Sad but true... May come as a shock to many flag wavers here... Sorry folks, all those stories you heard in second grade about "liberty and justice for all" was just part of the Big Lie... We've all been brainwashed... and the more pissed off you get from reading this post... the more brain-washed you are...

And the rabbit hole goes much deper than this... but I wouldn't want to scare ya... There is good news too... We all get to do our part to make this world a better place.. healing is always available and as human beings we have the ability to generate an infinite amount of love. There is a Higher plan behind all this seeming outer chaos...

It's the black helicopters that you cant hear, seeding the trees at night with deer ticks that have government created strains of lyme disease created at Fort Detrick..........
oh oh....
I hear them coming up the frontwalk I gotta run now or th
