So I became to exhausted last night before I could make my daily right-before-bed post but it appears that the world did not come to an end as a result so luckily there's no need for me to apologize for it heh

I am still pretty damned tired though. But that's what god create caffeine for I do believe. Exactly how awake do I need to be to go to work? It wouldn't be so bad except I don't want to be dozing at lunch..or any other point for that reason.

So it's been a bad couple of days for Pennsylvania sports. The Phillies got them selves down 8-0 in just the third inning. I believe that during the fourth we came back with 6 runs (which includes a grand slam) but then they gave up three more runs. We were right there in the Wild Card race and if they do not get their act together...we'll find ourselves in the same position that we have the last handfull of years..right within reach of the playoffs but having played themselves out at the end.

And after the Eagles debacle, the Steelers happened to get shutout in Monday Night Football. Hopefully all three teams will have gotten this out of their respective systems for the reason of their seasons.

I'm starving. Gotta get something on my way to work.

Well still nothing from any of the bands about playing our show with us. But we've had some pretty good luck so far in getting people to come out. My cousin, whom I haven't seen probably since Christmas mailed me about something else and I replied with the details on the show. Not only did she say that she'd make it out but she also said that her friend is coming up to visit her from Florida and that she'll bring her out. We hope to be able to hand out copies of our demo. Perhaps if we 'wow' her with our show, she'll take our demo back down there with a desire to spread the word of us. That'd be awesome.

Hmm I've been Blogmad-ding for the past couple of days and while I am noticing the increase in hits to my diary but I am also noticing that most everyone seems to be more political in some way. Well not so much that. I take that back to a degree. There's the world affair bloggers. Now this isn't my first 'blog but I am still trying to find my voice...in a manner of speaking. I've been trying to talk about various things in my life but usually run out of steam each entry before I get to very much about me.

But I realize that as far as this community goes, no one really knows about me so I am going to do my best for the next X-amount of entries to talk about how I've become the "me" that I am today. Or atleast how I think I became the "me" that I appear to be today anyway hah

First on the list is that I had had Lyme Disease this is a big one because it has had a good deal of say in what I've become. I was tested when I was desperately ill during a breakout of Meningitis in PA and NJ. I was so ill and my mom was going to give it another day or two before taking me to a doctor but then we both saw on the news that several people had died from Meningitis the past couple of days and they had the ticker at the bottom of the screen which constantly scrolled the symptons for all to see. I had every single sympton. Less than an hour later I found myself at the doctors. It took him about 10 minutes to decide that he needed to call the hospital to get them ready to admit me. The CDC had put out the word that any case that a doctor saw that could even possibly be Meningitis had to be reported to them immediately.

Now honestly I can't remember anything save two single scenes from the hospital visit. One: they took about 10 vials of blood from me to test for everything. Two: they had to give me a Lumbar Puncture (AKA Spinal Tap) to test for Cerebral Meningitis. I was glad to find out that of the three different types of people when it comes to what they experience during a Spinal Tap I was in the group that felt almost nothing. But a little bit of pressure. And three: I remember my doctor coming in and telling me that luckily I did not have Meningitis but that I had tested positive for Lyme Disease.

Now I was actually lucky that it had turned out in such a way because if untreated Lyme Disease can cause complete hear failure and other lovely side-effects. But they put me on the oral antibiotics that were commonly used to treat the disease. This was right before my birthday near the end of May of 1996. They told me that I had been infected most likely 6 years ago. Well after 5 years any symptoms that you had experienced while infected become chronic...even after getting rid of the actual disease with antibiotics.

I had been to so many doctors and specialists over the years for everything from chronic severe migraines to chronic fatigue syndrome and constant muscle pain. But after testing negative twice for the actual disease, they would not treat me for any of the symptoms. Of the 250 possible symptoms...I have A LOT of them which you'll find out over time in various posts.

But I suffer from tremors (especially in the hands) and horrible memory problems. And you'll learn plenty about the pitfalls of that as well. There's a damned good chance that I've suffered damage to my heart from it as I notice palpitations from time-to-time. Where I can actually feel my heart skip a beat or two. Hopefully I can get some of this stuff looked at. And I guess another big one is that it caused a condition (of which I forget the name) but it destroys the enamel of the teeth and therefore your teeth. I will be getting more into that later like everything else.

I guess this was more of an overview.

Well break out the magnifying glass over time and take a good look at how each of these interfere with my life in one way or another.

Well I need to shower, get ready and leave for work. But have a great day. And let me hear you...please.

im glad your heart is ok!
thats what i love about you the most! *big hugs*

OMG...that is horrible! Do you know where you may have picked up the Lyme's Disease?

You seem all normal to me, Lyme's Disease or not :)
