Day Three and Pox-Free!



Well folks, here we are at full day number three of the Doxycycline and I'm happy to report that, aside from some lingering hip pain (the bacteria is known to attack large joints for some reason), all the rashes are gone or diminishing,

the lymph nodes are back to their mostly normal size,

neck is no longer stiff,

fever/chills have FINALLY abated--I can actually sleep the whole night through for the first time in a month and a half--and, most importantly,

my muscles have stopped shrinking. Do you have any idea how much time and money I've spent getting them to their pre-Lyme size?

Funny to think that one bacterial infection and BOOM you're back to having the arms of a Japanese schoolgirl.

So yes. The Lyme disease, the pox, whatever it was, appears to be withering away thanks to a ten dollar bottle of aqua-colored antibiotics. It looks like I'm cured!




At least until the sequel. When they discover that...something survived...

Don't forget to take ALL of your antibiotics, otherwise you'll contribute to the super-infection! Did you ever hear back from Nicholle? Or did she kick the bucket?

School Girl eh? I'll show you school girl. Go look at your roommate's biceps. Then you'll know what Star Trektrophy looks like.
