nimrod4u: i have been concerned about lyme's for years...

I am from Virginia and many folks I know have contracted it, suffering from such a wide variety of symptoms (PCS-like symptoms, some, flu-like, others, some had none) and differing severities of symptoms.

I do plan on getting tested because I work outside and am exposed constantly, although currently I am in a temp job in rural Nevada where there doesn't seem to be much expertise about it (or risk).

Didn't know about the different kinds of tests, that is great info.

I really wish you luck in the success of your treatment and that you feel better soon. Lyme's is no joke.... lost a dog to it years ago as well

socks: thanks for the creative ideas, i would not have thought of either.

technology can be used for just about everything now eh? i will look for the recordings you suggested tonight.

if i gotta be alone when having these things at least i can "fake it" with a talk-down-bot sounds promising to me


feelin' much better tonight. gonna take advantage of this "sweet spot" and get some work done while it lasts!!

never thought i'd be this excited/grateful to do data entry.
