Hi LC ,

Here's another place where you could post some links, like Franky's detailing tick behavior and other things tick-ish ...you know, like
Franky's good news for pet owners
Personal testimonial about Lymes

He and others have a ton of information about ticks, so listing your favorites (or most enlightening) would probably be a great approach. It gives the newbies somewhere to start, right?

Thanks for the added links Bad_Boy you are always most helpful to me. I am just thinking about the coinfections too. I am in alot of pain right now saw doctor aq blister turned into lesion alsmost went down to bone, i could not get thayt one healed, so my doc had to shoot my finger with a needle to dull felling (the needle hurt yep and excise the hard crust with a scalpel. I also got an RX for Silver Sulphadiazone cream, which was a mere 15 dollars. I had to put the cream on just tiny amount to fill the hole then bandaid. We will see how it goes. You have to apply it with a qtip, so as to not contaminate tube. Please feel free to add whatevver links you like and continue to help me. Thanks, (LC).

LC,

So sorry you're having such a tough time. I was really hoping the antibiotics would be working for you. Yes, needles are horrid! Especially when it's given on the finger, toe, or any place without much muscle or other "padding" (told you I didn't excercise enough ). May be raising chickens....

Anyway, here's a link to your newest post about Lyme's and other tick-borne infections.

All the links together make a story. Cool, huh?

The shot was for a lesion for the blister, so I could have the crust professionally removed. With the silver cream in it, feels much better. Plus i can find out if this cream generic is 15 bucks helps us . (LC).

Thanks Bugged, you are very kind. not the finger now, but the neckpain has plagued me every day i have had this, in the muscle now then before. Used to be in the spinal chord and the bone. Without the antibiotics, I would be crippled. I will post on doc visit tomorrow , I think (LC).

Hey, LC...

Are you having trouble with the quote button? My post's running into yours. Looks a little odd. Just remember that after you quote, the cursor's probably still inside the quote. Just scoot past the [/quote] before typing. Viola! Your post is free of the box. If you're really lost, sometimes starting from scratch is the best.

Queen Mary? The sister to the Titanic? Oh dear. I hope not! I looked up the cream. Looks as if it has sulfa in it, too (for any folks with those allergies). Thanks!

Everytime I use the quotebox it messes up. Plus thinking through pain makes it harder to muti-task. It is okay what some of you do not know is I am on NO scripts for pain. However, I can get more valerian root to knock it down some tomorrow. With the valerian can think sleep or stay awake not feel it so much. So my response to BB shows, here is what I said to him seperate: Well the antibiotics believe it or not BB, ARE working. (otherwise, I would be crippled). However, six to seven diseases is like trying to turn around the Queen Mary. The shot was for a lesion for the blister, so I could have the crust professionally removed with a scalpel and not scare patients in the waiting room, . With the silver cream in it, feels much better. Plus I can find out if this cream generic is 15 bucks helps us . The doctor says the hard crust must be removed, then the hole is filled with this cream and a bandaid appilied over it. It is supposed to prevent scarring, a Q-tip a small amount of the cream is put on it and applied to the hole to be sterile. (LC).
