Thanks, GL. Much appreciated. :freehug: You're awesome! :freehug: There are a few similarities but caused by different bacteria, and Lyme disease is rarely fatal. They both have the potential for long term effects, especially if not caught early. There are other symptoms/complications not listed, but these are the basics: One of my other brothers lost his best friend to RMSF complications when they were 19.
Oh wow...it sounds horrible to contract, not to mention terrifying of the unknown. . Right now lm suffering from a wretched case of poisonous ivy from doing my yard Friday, and l want to rip my skin off, cry and pass out for relief, all at once. Can't imagine how awful and weak he must be feeling. Hope he fully recovers.
It's scary stuff, and he's fortunate his doctor suspected it and started treatment quickly. Thanks for the well wishes, and I hope you're feeling better soon yourself. I've never had poison ivy myself, but I've heard how itchy, painful, & miserable it is. Sending out prayers for your relief and healing. :freehug:
Thanks, Tam! It's a brutal punkassbitch that l wouldn't wish on an enemy..l appreciate your sweet, calming prayers. :freehug:
Prayers on the way, Kickster. I'm sorry to hear that you have to have surgery; I pray that it goes well & you have a quick recovery. :freehug:
Kickster, you are such a kind soul, may God be with you throughout your surgery and guide and work through your surgeons. l pray you recover swiftly and regain the joys of life once again. Will be thinking of you today and we all will be there in spirit with you when you awaken.
