I just found a freaking tick in my upper thigh. Pulled that fucker out and I have a small red bump.

Fellow TMMACers: it would be nice if you would all pay your final respects to me in this thread, since I am soon to die from Lyme’s. Thank you and God bless.

I would post a pic of this rash but God knows what the reaction would be to a picture of close to my ass.

I’m getting goddamned dizzy. By pure coincidence, I have a yearly physical scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8:30. If I can just hold on until then.

I asked my GF OP here's what she said. If you had the tick on you less then 24 hours she wouldn't do anything. Longer she would treat it with doxy. She said there's a blood test but she would just start a course and not even bother with the test if you had the tick longer then 24 hours. Splinty @Splinty may treat it differently and she's a derm so she may not be up on the latest and greatest. Doxycycline: Side Effects, Dosages, Treatment, Interactions, Warnings

She says it can cause all kinds of symptoms. She said if within a week you would have early disease which is very treatable. It's the chronic type that's a problem. She also said the doxy will probably make you puke too :). I told her you were seeing a doc in the next day or two as that was her suggestion.

She also said for your BF to use condoms.

I think I have liver damage from before I quit drinking apparently I could suddenly turn yellow and start puking blood even though I quit drinking. I had no idea how important the liver was until it is too late. I have to go get checked for that.

I just tried to get up and walk but I’m too weak. I did a Flair flop and crawled back to my chair to post some more.
