In Ontario Canada where I live they have dropped the ball on testing and treating and such. PLEASE PLEASE take care and please slow down OK.

What a pity that our world has become greed-driven. There is so much potential for so much good that won't see the light of day because it can't pay for itself (in a BIG way). I am such a cynic.

Canadian doctors are on the whole useless at diagnosing Lyme disease and would much rather tell you it is all in your head. Coincidentally, the day I read your post there was a programme on the radio about a Lyme disease vaccine almost at usage point. It has been shelved by the maker as the final development costs were proving too expensive. From what I understood it is now lingering on a government shelf somewhere.

Glad you caught it, immediate treatment is key - and you did that. We live in Lyme country - literally two towns over is Lyme, CT, where supposedly, but not really, it all started. We pull ticks off ourselves and our animals regularly - I've had horses with Lyme, dogs with Lyme, my son had Lyme, I'm tested regularly for it -I suspect the "Fibromyalgia" I have been diagnosed with is actually Lyme. <br /><br />Karen thisoldhouse2.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302171590212119499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-16132711559587291652018-05-22T12:02:16.632-04:002018-05-22T12:02:16.632-04:00Yes, I actually found ANOTHER tick imbedded this m...Yes, I actually found ANOTHER tick imbedded this morning.
