anyone ever had lyme disease?[views:6660][posts:42]________________________________________ [Jun 23,2010 5:06pm - lyme diseased ""] I've been taking antibiotics for two days. I got symptoms about 3 or 4 days ago. Got a nice big bullseye rash. I don't feel any better yet. Has anyone ever had this. I'm wondering if I might have something else. |

| ______________________________________ [Jun 23,2010 6:01pm - SkinSandwich ""] My brother has it thankfully. He is a dick. Anyway, he has horrendous joint pain and flu like symptoms all the time thankfully. He was bit four years ago. Thankfully. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jun 23,2010 6:04pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] at least he has supportive family members to help him through the situation |
| ______________________________ [Jun 23,2010 6:07pm - Slag ""] thankfully. |

| ___________________________________ [Jun 23,2010 9:21pm - LPCustom ""] I'm almost starting to think I have this, but I never got the rash. So I'm not positive but every other symptom is legit (especially fucking knee pain!!!). Good luck though, man. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 23,2010 10:28pm - the_reverend ""] go to the drs NOW |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 23,2010 10:47pm - LPCustom ""] Are you being serious Rev? |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 23,2010 11:12pm - the_reverend ""] if you think you have it, go to the DRs now and be safe. otherwise, you risk permanent neurological issues. |

I have had friends that had it, they were not happy campers. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 24,2010 9:59am - the_reverend ""] the poster aaron(ex-tnc)'s son had it and he didn't think about himself. the kid got better right away. 4 months later, he was all f'd up and it took him a long time to get better. |
| _____________________________________________________________ [Jun 24,2010 11:05am - MaskedGuitarist of Bristol County ""] i had it at age 11. symptoms i remember: felt like someone was slowly moving a red hot steel spike thru the center of my spine/vertebrae, hot and cold spells that would drastically change within matters of minutes (i was in the waiting room, in summertime, wearing a sweatshirt&jacket one minute, and then ripping them off and suffering extreme heat w/just my t-shirt on the next minute), joint pain, the beginning of my severe depression that has still not subsided til this day (~14 years later), and the bullseye rashes only came 2 months into it. ***THE FUCKED UP THING: when I finally got the rashes, the biggest was around my belly button. where was the ONE SINGLE PLACE i nor my parents/doctors looked for a tick? yup, tucked inside the upper part of my belly button :*( FUCKING BASTARD WAS STILL ATTACHED. lol, Lyme Disease was the beginning of my true knowledge of suffering. a giant FUCK YOU to the town of LYME, CONNECTICUT!!!!!! (and nature in general) |

| ________________________________________ [Jun 10,2011 8:01pm - lyme diseased ""] it's no big deal. goes away in a few days after taking antibiotics, but still finish the bottle! if you're not feeling like shit yet it'll be a breeze. if you've been feeling like shit for a day or two you'll be in hell for another day or two then it will go away. |

| ________________________________ [Jun 11,2011 10:18am - Arist ""] Was it? fuck |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 11,2011 2:14pm - Randy_Marsh ""] there is a possibility it will become permanent. |
