I Have Lyme Disease
A Short Tale Of Infected Insects... I've had many a tickbite over the years,I often go plunging off the beaten track,so it's not surprising.but never an infection...
Then a few weeks ago I had the telltale "bullseye" rash which kept getting bigger...hello-fatigue,muddled thinking,irritability,nervous tension...I was finally persuaded to wobble into the ER (which was not an easy decision for me of the no medical coverage-I just won't get sick-fr<x>ame of mind) many hours and pokes,prods and bloodtests later it turns out I am indeed infected with the dreaded brain-eating parasites,yikes.
so I go and get all healthy just to succumb to this??? the good news is that with early detection and massive doses of strong antibiotics,I can expect to fully recover and even be more immune to future infections,whew!
I have known many many folks who have suffered immensely with this condition,it is easy to misdiagnose and can affect many of the body's systems with horiffically debilitation effects. Life's not fair,so be proactive as best you can.
this circumstance explains much of my recent mailaise and inabilty to write very well lately-I thought I was just exhausted...well,I was. that is,I am.this will pass.Be aware of ticks and other creepy crawlies in your area and eat healthy,my friends.
You do not want this illness,trust me.
