Still no lymes. Always started popping steroids as soon as I found the bullseye . My cabin was in the heart of MN dear tic countery . Every one's dogs around my place had it . I never let mine out of the yard and I would spread that flee and tic shit every 2 weeks in the yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Well, yesterday was pretty good. I was able to get through the day with only 2 advils. Today is starting out the opposite. Seems like I find a different joint pain spot every day currently, but the Doc said that can happen for the first month until the antibiotics take care of it. Miserable shit. I feel for you guys that have had it for many years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) We have black widows and scorpions here in AZ and I'll take those any day over deer ticks. My uncle just spent a week in the hospital with a 104 fever and such lethargy he slept for 37 hours straight. When he'd wake, he was super delirious. He had anaplasmosis from a deer tick bite. It took the docs several rounds of testing to work out what was wrong with him. We thought he was a goner at 67 years old. He's not exactly the picture of health so the disease progressed pretty far with him. https://www.cdc.gov/anaplasmosis/symptoms/index.html Edited June 29, 2022 by Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still taking 4 advils a day, 2 antibiotics and now benadryl tonight as the antibiotics make my skin really itchy. Still getting joint pain, but I have heard horror stories about some people with heart issues and hospitalization and I haven't had to deal with that.

It was fine up until about 2 days ago and now the area is getting agitated and has the bullseye. Did says at minimum it’s infected and possibly lymes so taking antibiotics at this point it’s not much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy of mine has been fighting it for at least 2 years.

I made sure that they were testing for EVERYTHING. I had to specifically say lymes testing as well. Not sure why they don't automatically want to test for that.

The doctor I got in emergency seemed to have no problem acknowledging it. He just said it’s showing some signs of lymes but it’s at least infected so either way the antibiotics should snuff it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand whether lymes disease even existed was a contentious issue in the medical community for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
