about the woodchuck thing, it depends on the size of his mouth (lol). As for me ,Iam ok. We moved into town, You know the regular lyme thing. We started a chest cath on tuesday and started penicilin at 300 ml per day in hopes of getting some of my brain back.That is going good, for the third day ,I keep waiting for the other boot too hit the ground but so for only a mild herx.
So you are thinking about getting after the Babs .I will pray for courage for you,I will have to look at that soon too. One thing I am blessed with is a good group of Doc's here. They have gone along with all of the orders passed to them from my llmd so it is alot easier to get treatment. I even went to the chest cutter without a referal. I wish it could of had been as easy 10 years ago. But no complaiants . I still wake up and have the chance to wonder where i am. Send me a line so I can take my time and tell about the last two years. More good than bad ,You know life Ha I don't know anyone here anymore.They sure are lucky having You around. FRom what I have read You seem to be fine ,Iam glad to see that .Well it is getting harder to keep up with post so I will close for now. Be as good as You can be. buggy (aka) Appleseed

Yes sir.. tis sad so many new folks here. But it is good in a way. HOPFULLY we can get them treated sooner and better than in the "old days"? I know I am trying my heart out to make that happen.. as are many other folks here... and our LLMD's.
I am glad to know the docs are helping you now rather than continuing to pile cement blocks in your way. That is at least a comfort.
One medical note.. with Pennicilin I felt better fairly quickly once starting it. Didn't have a horrible herx either. AND it helped the brain and LOTS of other stuff. But the ducks only gave me 2 weeks worth back then. Can you imagine that?
Hope it works as well for you!
My emails, YIKES!.. a nightmare as usual... well.. I doubt, due to losing stuff and my total lack of email organization.. that I have your address still?
I don't PM or IM because I can't keep up with the emails yet.. so that route isn't good for me.

Hope you don't mind me jumping in on the conversation here.
Hey Tinny! Nice to see you around. I wanted to say hi and that I'm on the good 'ole yellow paint (aka Mepron) along with liquid zithromax which makes the Mepron taste even WORSE by comparison. Bleh! Anyway, if you end up on it perhaps we should revive the Mepron buddy thread.
Also, a big tip about going on Mepron, ask the pharmacist to order the box with individually measured sachets (i.e. packets) instead of the bottle because then a) you don't have to measure out each dose (which is always a pain), b) you don't have to do all sorts of special things to try to get the last drops out of the bottle, and c) you can carry around a packet or two instead of the whole bottle.
