I woke up a few days ago and my ribcage felt like somebody'd suckerpunched me in the middle of the night... looked in the mirror and saw a little rash around my lower lat and noticed my lymph glands were swollen around the site... I'd pulled a tick off the same spot a week earlier...  Went to the doc asap, they ran a blood test and sure as chit... LYME..... Always heard a bunch of bad rumors about this stuff... doc says 3 wks on hardcore antibiotics should be the end of it... hope he's right.... Just a heads up, if you get this and don't treat it... it can mess you up pretty bad evidentally... shut your body down permanently. From what I've gathered, it's imperative to treat early with antibiotics for best outcome... Anybody else had this? |

Buddy of mine had it,...came on just like yours. Took him 3 doctors before one would listen to him and test for Lyme's. Good luck man,.....glad you got it early....I reckon that's the key to coming out OK.

I thought I had it once was feeling pretty bad. Was swole up where I ahd pulled a tick from. Went ot the doc and they checked for lyme disease but they said no. But give me antibiotics any way. But this is the reason I always spray down with some OFF before going in the woods now. Them suckers are bad this year.

Like you, I have heard of some bad stories, probably coz they didn't go to the doc until it got real bad. Hope the antibiotics knock it out soon. Good luck, I will say a prayer for a speedy recover.

I said a prayer for you man, according to my RN wife antibiotics will help you out alot and early detection is the key. If you wait too long it can be BAD news, let this be a lesson to all of us to spray for bugs before going into the woods. I am worlds worst at not doing it but the more I hear about it the more I want to spray.

Yes my mother inlaw got lyme disease back in the day. If you have something like simple arthritis it goes X10, she is in a wheel chair now with brittle bones that break easy. It can mess with your body bad very important to get to the doctor. Any thing more than a small bit spot.

Noah that really sucks. Had a buddy get lyme and he could not hunt for a couple years. I will do you a favor and take all your hunting stuff so it does not rot. Hey, just looking out for you man. I hope laughing does not hurt. Catching it early really helps. My buddy never saw a rash at all so it was bad when it was found. So it should work better for you. But if you want to give me your stuff... |

Yall ain't right.... I'm meaner than any disease(my wife can attest to that  ) I feel fine, no headaches, lack of energy, flu symptoms, etc(symptoms of Lyme).... Spot still feels "bruised", but other than that.... hopin' these antibiotics work as well as the doc says they will.... Thanks for the well wishes and prayers fellas! |

The G/F had it here a few months ago. Went to the doctor and got the mads, and she is all good now. I Knew a guy that waited too long, and he had to go to the hospitol every morning and get an I.V. Bag of meds pumped into him for a while. Its some bad stuff if not treated quickly!

You see people wear snake boots and kill every snake in the woods.
When in reality your chances are much, much greater from the ticks and mosquitoes killing you, or giving you some nasty funk!
Good luck man. Hope you kick that crap!

Get on it quick and stay on it.
In 1976 I was leasing a bunch of land in west Texas for quail hunting. The landowners son got bit by a rattle snake in the front yard when he was 21 months old. The doctors cut him down his fingers to his wrist and then up to his shoulder so it could swell. He lived over that but the scar tissue was crippling his arm.
I got him in the Scottish Rite Crippled Childrens Hospital in Dallas so that they could fix it. I went up to visit him and the kid in the bed next to him was suffering from lyme disease. He was partially paralyzed and in real bad shape. They did not get on it in time and did not know what he had.
They said that that kid would be in the hospital for 6 months and then to rehab. I am sure that the medicine is much better today and you got on it quick. All I know is that it is nothing to fool around with.
