Got Mine. Thanks for handling the headache. Thanks for the extras too.

Thanks again,

Update:

I'm still waiting for the 3-Color #2 patches. They should be here in the next few days. As soon as I get them, I'll post it and start sending the rest of the orders.

Regarding my health, I got the results of the test, and it turns out I have Lyme Disease. That explains everything I've been going through. We are in the process of arranging to see a specialist in CT on Lyme. Since it seems I'm having neurological/cognitive simptoms, I may be in for a long term treatment. I'll know soon enough.

Good grief, Edgar! I know I've been checking in on this thread, but how in the heck did I miss the fact that you were ailin' ?!? :eek::confused::eek:

Very sorry to hear you're feeling poorly. Not sure how scared I am to hear it's Lyme disease. I know it used to be very bad news- I'm hoping modern medicine has a better handle on it now. I'm glad you have had it diagnosed, anyway- knowing may not be half the battle, but you can't start the fight without it. We'll keep you in our prayers, and you keep us posted. 'K? :)
 
Hey Preacher Man, don't know you too well here (yet), but you'll be in our thoughts and prayers. Keep us all posted on how you are doing. :thumbup:

My wife had a tick bite about a month ago and we were able to hang onto the tick. Still waiting for the tests results.
 
I'm still waiting on my guy on a spit patch compliments of Codger.
 
Take care of yourself bro. I hope you get better, and this can be fixed for you. Let me know if there is anything I can do......
 
hey!

thanks for a good job organising this edgar! thanks!

i'm sorry to hear you have lyme's - if you haven't checked it out yet, this is a good site with lots of info:
http://www.lyme.org/

i wish you the best with your treatment

lyme's disease research needs more funding IMO - I believe it's far more prevalent than is commonly recognized - from wiki:

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in North America and Europe and one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the United States.
 
Guys and gals, thank you for your support and prayers. Lyme is serious bussiness, but is no longer "bad news" as long as it is discovered and treated early.

"Chronic" Lyme desease which apparently is what I have (that which goes undiscovered and untreated until advanced symtoms start) is controvertial because the current standards for diagnosis and treatment favor the health insurance industry by implying that chronic Lyme desease doesn't exist and no treatment is necesary (some of the people in the panel that created those standards, the Infectious Desease Society of America, had finantial "conflicts of interests" as discovered by the Attoney General of CT, who started an Anti-Trust investigation against the IDSA. The case was settled earlier this month and a new panel will review the current standards).

You are right. When I found out that I could have Lyme I started to do some research on it (after all, I do research for a living) and it turns out that there is a Bill that has been sitting in congress for some time now trying to create a Tick-Born Diseases Advisory Comittee within the Department of Health and Human Services to coordinate research and stasitical/clinical information from all Federal Health agencies and all anecdotal data available form clinical practicioners in the area of Lyme and related diseases. The Bill would also specifically consider chronic Lyme and assign a budget for research and the development of more accurate diagnostic tests (according to the leading clinical practicioners, the ELISA test gives false negatives 50% of the time).

From what I can gatther form my research, the health insurance industry opposes the Bill. The current standard of treatment for Lyme is 2 to 4 weeks of antibiotics at approximately $500 a month. New standards that recognize Chronic Lyme could change treatment to a minimum of 1 month to a maximum of 2 years of antibiotics (different antibiotics been switched and rotated regularly and still at approx. $500 a month) depending on the stage of the desease.

Jeepnut22, hope the test come back negative, and I'm assuming they tested the tick. If they tested your wife, the most probable test done is the ELISA test. If that's the case, you may get a false negative. Request a Western Blot test which is 95% accurate, but you may have to pay for it out of pocket. According to the current diagnostic standards, the Western Blot test is only indicated to verify a possitive or inconclusive ELISA test. That means that if the ELISA come back negative, your insurance doesn't have to pay for the Western Blot test

Edgar, got my patches during the first go round of this - thought I'd just check in for the heck of it... And found you are still feeling unwell...

Sorry to hear about it, but am glad you are having some forward progress in finding out what's wrong...

Hang in there, man; it's people like you that make this site what it is...

Smoke and prayers to you and yours.. And to the rest of you sharing similar stories...
 
Are there any of the modified design #2 left? If there are I'd like one of those and one of the 3 color #2.Thanks.
