[at-l] Lyme Disease

["kauzlar" <kauzlar@madison.main.nc.us>]

Where might you live?  Here in NC the doctor I went to claimed that I did
not need the Lymex injections because Lyme disease was not prevelant here. 
You must be in the New England States or Wisconsin?

I just got some bad news yesterday and thought I'd better share it with the

list.  I have Lyme disease.  They called it "borderline", whatever that 
means.  So now I'm on Doxycycline 4 x a day for two weeks, then nothing for
a 
week, then they check my Titer levels,? or counts?  The worst part of all 
this is that my sister, Betty Sue and I are starting in 25 days at Gorham
to 
finish the last 300 miles!!!   Anyway, only because I was paranoid about a 
tick bite on my right foot, did I have it checked.  That's important,
because 
if you wait until you have symptoms, you're in deep trouble.  The bite 
happened about 3 or 4 weeks ago.   So, don't disregard those tick bites!!  
And if you have any advice for me, it would be appreciated.  No horror 
stories, please!  B.J. Blister
