I keep thinking i need to move to San Diego to get help.

There are many obstacles to over come...mostly financial.

But, one concern I had was answered on another web site.

That is how power chair friendly is San Diego....

I copied and pasted a reply posted to one person that will be visiting the area and had the same concerns.

Thought I would share it with others.

No need to worry!

If you go to San Diego Zoo your wife gets in free as a care giver!

The Trolley is WC accessible and can get you around no need to drive...

Gas Lamp has great food.

By the beach Fire House is great food sit upstairs (special elevator) and watch the sunset from there!

Nicks real open across the street from the beach

Roll out on the Crystal Pier (public access through hotel gate)

Check out Mission Beach Life Guard tower and you can rent a FREE power sand wheel chair for a roll on the beach!

Ferry boat to Coronado is cool its like $6 takes you around across the bay.

Dont forget it can get cold but on the Bay you get Sea world Fireworks at about 8:50 in the winter.

Hey there, I thought I was the only one who lived in the middle of "no man's land". I live in the middle of Angeles National Forest. I have to have sattelite tv and sattelite internet due to our virtual remoteness. Even our phone signal is turned into a microwave signal and beamed to a dish on the hill behind us.

Lyme is like the flu. You can get it and recover, but you can always get it again.

Bug Barb....it was fun reading about all the resources available in SD

ON the other hand, I am not so sure my brain and body would be ready to live in the city full time.

I feel a bit more secure out in the boonies right now.

I can drive 5 or 10 min and have the great outdoors to myself.

Sounds like you just need to step out your front door. HA!

PS No ticks here. I like that.

When i was infected the first time i lived a mile from here. we had to move 'cause i was sick. I got treated and got better. Moved back to where I'm living and within a year,I was having symptoms again.
I used to pick flowers from my yard for my desk at work. One day I picked a rose and saw a tiny tick running as fast as its nasty little legss would carry it towards my hand on the rose branch.
I picked an engorged deerr tick off my indoor cat.
truly I live in Tick Heaven and lyme hell

I wonder about what I could do if I once again lived in a tick infected area.

Is there anything you can take daily to help?
