lyme disease. less fun than a barrel of monkeys

Though I have no rash, I am 99% certain that I have Lyme disease and I'm taking Doxy for it. I'm waiting for the shit to kick in. I am getting a taste of what arthritis is like and it ain't pretty. Imagine being unable to button your shirt or pull up your zipper.
Now imagine that you are sober and you can't do those things.

fuck ticks and their shitty attitudes.

My brother is fighting it as well. Beyond the physical pain the psychiatric effects can also be disabling. Stay on the drugs, my brother quit before his Dr. wanted him to and the bitch came right back. Make sure your Doc is experienced and up to date on this.

Oh, foot, sorry about this but sooooo glad you''re on the Doxy. Saw an Intervention about a chick who got alllllll messed up on pain killers due to undiagnosed Lymes. Hang tough and fuck a tick!

Ugh. I might possibly have been exposed to Lyme when I had that tick on my gentleman's area in Japan. I saw some pictures on the net and decided, no way was that happening to my plums! Off to the doctor, despite the language difficulties. I took the dox, no sign of the pox!

I am so very not happy that I cannot find a decent clip of Demetri Martin's Avengers skit. Remember, he became a superhero to avenge his father's death, then his mom finds out years later he actually died of lyme disease?

The Avenger was at his dad's gravestone and changed "Brutally Murdered by Thugs" to Brutally Murdered by Ticks, using a posty note with the word 'ticks' on it.

It's hilarious. I know it was posted before but all I can find now are crappy clips in 30 second intervals taped off the TV onto someone's smartphone.

But feet should remember it.

Fever for 5 days, no respiratory or GI symptoms, arthritis like pains that roam all over my body not staying in one place more than a day or so, skull splitting headaches, living in a big fat tick hole.
