Lyme disease

[petmoosie]

I am officially being treated for Lyme disease. I am taking pills as big as my little finger twice a day for 3 to 4 weeks, leaning on the side of 4 weeks.

My daughter is insisting on tick checks after she is outside. I need to insist for myself also. Our house may look like a zoo where the apes are grooming each other, but that's better than a tick getting by our scrutiny.

I do believe that time outdoors is important for children, and cvirtue 's latest post just adds to that. Ticks are a hazard, but one that we can deal with.

I mean, that you caught the disease in good time so you could treat it -- not that you caught the disease. That's bad. :-)

Yep, I'm glad I caught it in time to treat it easily. I have a family friend with the chronic form and it's a nightmare for her.
