[QUOTE="tinamarie1, post: 72897, member: 255"] SRL, its true in Louisiana with what you said about the doctors always nearly missing it! Get this, one weekend a few years ago we went to a lake that is around a very heavily wooded area, we had to scoot on our behinds down hill to get to the water, and we only had swim suits and t-shirts on. I got bit so many times, I lost count, but broke out the hydrocortizone that night when we got home. I was putting it on when I noticed this huge red circle on the inside of my thigh and it had what looked like a mosquito bite in the center. I showed husband and said, look at this it must be a horsefly bite...and he said no that is def not a horsefly bite tina! I got on the internet and started searching for pics of bug bites and came across the exact image on my thigh....sure nuff, it was what they showed for lyme disease, or the beginnings of it from the tick. I was on my doctors doorstep at her office at 8 am sharp that next day. She didn't believe me even when she saw the bullseye! I said, do you have a medical book with a picture of what is supposedly looks like? She said, I'll be right back. She comes back with the medical book in tow and holds it up to my thigh and she said, that is definitely the same thing! shesh! medical school mean anything to ya? She put me on the medications immediately and they made me very queezy, but I was able to finish them all and am ok today I think. I have alot of nerve related issues though, and I can't help but wonder if that is what its from. Facial twitching, I have had bells palsy twice, and I get numbness and tingling in my hands and feet, even when I am walking or doing housework. I dunno... [/QUOTE]
