Guess out of those 3 which one i've got.

If you guessed Lyme Disease you'd be correct. Should've had prizes. Sorry, didn't think of it til now.

Had a temp and felt yuck for 3 weeks before i finally went to the doc. She had a list of symptoms. If you check 20 chances are pretty good you might have Lyme. i checked off 32. (a few apply to the Parkisons & Lympedema and were not counted as a full check mark but had to be considered) Then she ordered a blood test. For most people a blood test for Lyme is inconclusive and could be read several ways, my blood test........ "no doubt you have Lyme", said the doc!!

So there are only 2 anitibiodics which fight Lyme effectively. One i'd taken before and am highly allergic to. Had never taken the other one before. Luckily i didn't react to it.

I wasn't going to post this, but somebody in chat said i should. So as it is right now i'm on my 5th week of doxycycline hyclate. The fever ended about 2 weeks ago but the rest lingers on. See doc next week and decide if antibiodic is contined past 6 weeks.

So thats my summer, bed rest, fluids, meds, taking temp and BP daily........ fun, fun, fun.

Very sorry to hear about your current bout with Lyme, TB. It's often overlooked as the culprit, especially because the trademark bullseye rash doesn't always appear. Once it's identified though...it's like a huge lightbulb going on.

Glad to hear you're on meds that are working.


And remember...thyme is on your side.

Get well quick, ((((Teddy Bear))))!
