Just got diagnosed with it over the weekend. Has anyone else here had to deal with this? I feel like garbage. Not sick per se, but I just don't feel "right". You know?

In Florida?  I thought that was unique to the Northeast.

I live in Boston. Sorry. Medway now. I'm used to telling people that I live in Boston because I did for my entire life.

I believe that one of our TDMMCs regular who doesn't really come around any more dealt with this.  I'll reach out to him.

Ticks exist in Florida.  Therefore you can get Lyme Disease.

I had Lyme disease for almost 10 years undiagnosed!  It really fucked me up.  I also had 2 other tick borne illnesses...make sure you get tested for all of those as well.  Babesiosis, micoplasma, bartonella, etc.  Ask me anything!  I've been dealing with it for most of my life

Thanks Tony. Can I send you a message later? I'm just trying to wrap up my day.

May I suggest rather than trying to get medical advice from random strangers on a forum for football you speak to actual medical professionals.

I know what you mean Hoodie. But I’m married to a an RN and I’ve already been prescribed meds and am taking them. Just looking for anyone who has dealt with it to hear their stories, and maybe what to expect and how they’ve dealt or are dealing with it etc...

Hoodie never has anything actually worthwhile to add, it's either lame jokes or smarmy comments.  If he's been diagnosed with it, of course he's talked to medical professionals.

While I certainly understand and agree that you should listen to your doctors, I don't think there's anything wrong with asking someone with a long history of a disease about their personal tips.

Also, Tony isn't a random stranger.  He's someone this forum (and many of us in person) have known for decades and he's been a consistent and trustworthy voice about his experiences.

How has it fucked you up?   Is it curable?   Life threatening?  How do they treat it?

I've got two weeks worth of Doxy to take. Hopefully that will make it all go away. I've been taking it for almost a week now, which I guess isn't that long, but Id have hoped to be feeling better than worse by now. Today is a bad day.
