Tough Year and Now a Tick

April 26th, 2009 | Category: Uncategorized

No doubt, this has been one tough year.  Three weeks ago I was bitten by a tick and three days later came down with symptoms in line with Lyme disease.  I was very sick, and the doctor put me on antibiotics.  Unfortunately, I am still sick.  I had a period of feeling better, but was scant on here because I was so busy catching up on all the things that got dropped when I was sick.  I had to go to the ER today and they refused to give me more antibiotics, so I am still very symptomatic.  I can only concentrate on anything for a half hour at a time, and I am extremely fatigued.  A level of fatigue that is impossible to understand without experiencing it.    I expect to be in bed a lot until I get a proper diagnosis, or until this “non” lyme thing goes away.  I will post as I can, and hope to put up the most recent round up soon.

Dear readers, you have been so good sticking with me through all the various gaps.  There’s nothing I can say except that when the going gets tough, the blog seems to be the first thing I have to drop.  On top of it all, my job is in jeapordy because of the economy, so that’s fun added to the madness!

Sigh.

    Sure hope you get better soon and insist on getting what you need from your doctors. Lyme disease is dangerous and not worth messing around with. Feel better! Prayers and hugs coming your way.

    Know you are in my prayers. My daughter’s friend has lyme. I know she struggles with fatigue a lot. I hope you feel better soon.

    Hi all,

    I’m awaiting the results of a blood test which should be in today or tomorrow. So far it’s already been a medical battle which is taking my time as much as the illness. Thanks for your support and prayers.

    Fingers crossed.

    Hi all. To do anything truly worth doing, I must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as I can.
    I am from Palestinian and learning to speak English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: “Never use flea drops on newborn or young kittens because of the possibility of overdose.”

    Thank you very much :). Valdemar.

    Badly need your help. I like coincidences. They make me wonder about destiny, and whether free will is an illusion or just a matter of perspective. They let me speculate on the idea of some master plan that, from time to time, we’re allowed to see out of the corner of our eye. Help me! Looking for sites on: Dodge dealers seveirville tn. I found only this - dodge dealers in phila pa. Our davie, fl dodge dealership always has a wide selection and low prices. Our davie, fl dodge dealership always has a wide selection and low prices. Thanks for the help :o, Mervyn from Andorra.

    Greeting. O, it is excellent to have a giant’s strength; but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.
    I am from Algeria and learning to read in English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: “She not scored external in eight minutes, selling just to know of a chip, a mastercard prepaid.”
