[QUOTE="Re-Ride, post: 41488, member: 8395"] Thanks for your updates and links Orrin. Wishing the best for your daughter. Me: 10 weeks post bite: Sudden flare-up of severe lumbar pain on Friday and renewed eye redness although not as pronounced as first event which easily qualified me as a demon-extra for a Hollywood horror flick and which coincided with the flu symptoms last month. O.K. that's three symptoms including the flu-like symptoms. Maybe more if I include pain in arm, light sensitivity, bad headache and other weird stuff coinciding with the flu-like symptoms. After those cleared up last month, and until this week end, I wanted to attribute the above to a respiratory bug which had been going around. Now, if infected, I'm hoping I haven't progressed to stage II or III loosing an early opportunity to wipe it out. I was told that I they were proceeding with an antibody serum test when they drew labs last month. The test was never performed dammit! I'll get it as soon as possible. All who read this thread should take it as a reminder to be aware of the highest risk weeks in your specific area and to check yourself thoroughly and frequently. The nymps in early spring are pin head size and easily overlooked. If you do find one attached let the ER remove it and *insist ask that the tick be saved for testing*! If you are an outdoors-man who may have to remove it yourself make sure you carry good tweezers and are versed in proper procedure: (1) Never squeeze the abdomen or apply a match head or solvent as this could cause the tick to expel gut contents with the gametes in to your body (2) Grab as close to the head as possible and pull straight out. (3) If the mouth parts remain don't panic, they don't harbor the infection and can be removed later. (4) Save the sucker (5) start keeping a log of any symptoms Understand the 72 hr window for initial single dose of doxycycline! It's controversial and not indicated for every bite Weeks 1-4 if you have any of these classic symptoms: headaches, rashes, conjunctivitis, flu-like symptoms, aches and pains getting on antibiotics asap can prevent advancing to stage II or III and improve prognosis for a complete recovery. Having symptom-free periods is possible as the infection entrenches itself. Do not ignore mild symptoms. [/QUOTE]
