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.

Yeah, it sounds like a lot of people have had Lyme. I don't have the bullseye rash which is why I did not suspect it. It wasn't until I was looking things up on wikipedia I found out that is only there in 50% of cases.

A friend who also had Lyme warned me not to mix the antibiotic with dairy, or I'd be having painful dry heaves. (fun ~.~ )

Tomorrow I get to call a doctor to start the fun process of trying to find out. I am so not looking forward to it. Maybe I will go to the gym first >>;
