This is depressing.

According to my doctor, I've most likely got Lyme disease. I got bit by a tick about 2 weeks ago, and I've got all the symptoms of it. Took 26 ticks to get it.
If you don't know what Lyme disease is, wiki it. I'm being put on some antibiotics to try and treat it.

Anyone else here have something like this happen to them?

My dog bit me and I had to get the puss pumped out with a needle.

  Last year I think I had strep-throte(Sp?)

And they thought I had a heart murmur. :(
It turns out I wasnt eating enough breakfast. :D

Ouch, talk about unlucky.  How'd you manage to encounter ticks anyway?  Thankfully, since "you've most likely got Lyme disease", it must not be at a mature stage, so as long as you have antibiotics, you should be fine.

I can't say anything like that has happened to me though.

For all you peapole too lazy to go to wikipedia:

"Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. The bacteria are transmitted to humans by the bite of infected hard ticks belonging to several species of the genus Ixodes. Early manifestations of infection may include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. Left untreated, late manifestations involving the joints, heart, and nervous system can occur. In a majority of cases, symptoms can be eliminated with antibiotics, especially if diagnosis and treatment begins early in the course of illness. Late, delayed, or inadequate treatment can lead to "late stage" or "chronic" Lyme disease that can be disabling and difficult to treat. Controversy over diagnosis, testing and treatment has led to two different standards of care."

I'm in the woods a lot.

D:
Is it still paralyzed?

[Silverhawk79]

Well, at least Lyme Disease isn't fatal. Anyways, um, I got a weird infection when I was like 11...because I accidentally stapled my finger. D:

My finger hurt for like 3 weeks afterwards, and the staple point thing was purple. >_>

I once had a procedure to get a wart done, and not only did it do absolutely nothing, it gave me blood poisoning.  :|
