Well, after not feeling well for several months now I got the call today from my neurologist about my recent bloodwork and I'm showing positive for Lyme Disease! Anyone on here go through this? Should I order my coffin now or later?

I had it... took like a month of antibiotics and all was good. I had stent the day in tall grasses in Jackson NJ... ended up with like 5 ticks. 2 of them had the typical rash so I went and got tested right away.

Favorite aunt has degenerative neurological disease and is about to die and oldest son nearly drowned at the pool tonight. I'm just thankful he's ok and just a little shaken up.

I don't even recall being bitten by a tick although I did spend time in the woods last fall deer hunting. Could the symptoms take that long to show up?

I never had any symptoms outside the rash and a bit of a fever/aches... I live in an area that everyone either has/had lymes or knows someone who does.

I don't think a few months delay is unheard of... some people have tolerances to the early symptoms or they are masked by other things.

Thanks, man. If it goes down that road, it will make me a two-time loser.

Traffic violation just came in the mail from being pulled over last week.

$360 for the violation. $412 for the violation if I choose to take the traffic school option. The additional cost doesn't actually pay for the traffic school, it simply allows me to attend. School itself will be another bill.

This wasn't vehicular manslaughter. This wasn't reckless driving. This wasn't a DUI, or running down kids in a school zone. Just "driving over 65MPH" on the freeway.

I'm voting for the next politician that promises to pull cops off the streets.

I found out today I'm likely going to be needing surgery on my right eye within 6 months. Major problem is that if this happens, it'll likely write off any chance of me doing teacher training in the fall.

You likely will not have long term problems after initial treatment. Most people are OK. I have sent you a PM with some info in the event that you have continuing problems

That's where my husband and I are. Got the first appointment with the attorney this Friday. Second time for both of us. Couldn't think of anything to post in the good news thread...
