I'm beginning to wonder if I have Lyme Disease. For those who don't know, I have had a weird rash or bruising resembling a birthmark on my left leg for more than a month now. I don't remember when it appeared, it was some time post Japan and I definitely had it when sumeraiskank, kosquarepelli, and vincentkoyha came to visit as kosquarepeli thought it was a birthmark. I had thought it was bruising from my luggage except... I still have it.

BLAH.

Other common Lyme Disease symptoms include fatigue (Did I not sleep well and then work out, or is it fatigue?) and muscle ache (again, the gym or something more?). I think this week is going to involve a visit to the doctor's.

They usually do a blood test.

My Mom, her dog Babbit and my dog Augie all had lyme disease. Bad ticks up by my mom's.

If you got it. The sooner you get treatment the better.

It could also be a rash from something else but good to rule out.

Yeah, I'm going to call the doctor tomorrow.

I'm just so less than amused. ~.~ If it is Lyme I suspect I got it doing this nature hike where there were a lot of woodsy things I did in mid to late May. I'm so looking into sprays for the future if this is Lyme. ~.~
