twice in three years is a bit of a bummer. Hope you get well soon.

after 26 years that the local ticks have done me in.
First time was the infamous deer tick and Lyme Disease that was treated with antibiotic shot after the third day of the bite after it started to act like a flesh-eating bacteria. "cured"......
Now after finding a common 'dog tick' in my scalp line last Thursday (no telling how long it was there before I found it at the nape of my neck), I'm now being treated for the next 21 days with Prednisone and Vibramycin for the human form of Erlichia that normally is found in dogs. Stiff neck, headache, nausea, fatigue, and light headedness.
After two doses now of the Prednisone I can move my neck again and the headache and most of the joint pain is gone....it'll take a few days for my stomach to hopefully go back to normal again. Not sure about the fatigue. Figures this would all come on the second day of pretty decent weather where I was able to actually get some work done around the yard....and now am too sore and weak to do anything but act like it's winter again and watch tv or crochet or read while I play the 'waiting' game.
Crap........
