So...short story.

I have gotten sick a few times in the pass couple of months. I posted one of them about just having a simple sore throat. The thing is, I never get sick. At the time I was also having trouble running. I would go for a run, and around the 4 or 5 mile mark my feet would start to tingle and go numb as if I had poor circulation. It was all odd. Then I began getting really bad nigh sweats. My wife and mother were concerned and gave me orders to go to the Dr. even tho I was feeling fine at the time.

While I was at the Dr. they took blood and ran tests on my Kidneys, liver, and took xrays of my lungs. They found nothing wrong. However over easter I was at my uncles cabin in northern Wisconsin. An area where Lyme's disease is very common. The Dr. did a lymes test on me which came back positive. She took another one just to double check seeings everything else on my checked out fine. Well unfortunately that test also came back positive. So I am now on Doryx for 3 weeks.

I NEVER found a tick on myself, nor did I find the infamous bullseye bite mark on myself. My wife and myself made several thorough checks on my body looking for anything. We never found anything.

Well about an hour ago from posting this. Something was itching on my wasteband. I scratched it and pulled at something, looked between my fingers and sure enough, there was a semi-engorged tick. I am fairly sure it is a deer tick as it is very small and almond in color.

I am absolutely flabbergasted. I dont know how I missed that or if I just got ANOTHER one. I WAS out of town for the weekend. I was in Kansas and visited my inlaws who own acreage in the country. I did not venture out in the grass much. It is just weird. I feel dirty. What the heck is going on? Is it possible that this tick could have been on me since easter and it was so small at the time I just missed it? Ugh...I am going to call my nurse and tell her about it tomorrow and see what she says. At least I am already on antibiotics.

I am going to have the heebee jeebees for weeks now! I can not stop itching! Ugh. I hate ticks.

Sorry, this wasn't very short. Just needed to vent.
