Roll Call 33

my mother got bit by a tick when she was 30-something. now she has lymes disease and arthritis. its really bad...

I think a lot of people got upset that one time you were suicidal and we didn't hear anything the next morning....I don't know if anyone blocked you and we want to help but not at the expense of ourselves...some people here are more vulnerable than others to that kind of stuff so it might be possible they would take a break or something but like I said, not a lot of the regulars are here right now which is probably why you aren't getting as rapid a response and you know I'm a little off right now so there's that.....

well it does make me feel better when I draw those symbols I get obsessed with drawing them for a period of time and during that time I just draw them almost thoughtlessly I dont put any thought or artisticivity into them they just flow out effortlessly almost like its natural to be writing them.but they do make me feel better when I draw them I never thought of it like that though like they were helping me stray from my problems that is interesting.

i understand now. if you guys dont hear from me in more than 3 days i may be in hospital. if you dont hear from me longer than a week or so it could be something more. *i wont trigger anyone by saying what* but yea.

im really sorry guys i really am. i apologize so much for all the crap i put you guys through. you guys are like family to me...

It's typically neurologists who test cranial nerves. No doubt when you see the neurologist you'll get a more thorough exam that will include cranial nerves.

But she knew she had a tick right? I mean they cling on for a while....I thought you had to burn them off or something....like with a blown out match head.

shes very sensitve about it so she doesnt talk about it much. but idk if she knew it was on there or not. its kinda sad. she cant move her fingers normally

Yeah that is sad....I just don't think I've ever had one....I've seen a few in Minnesota but really nowhere else and that was years ago....

I haven't really gotten any tick bites or anything though......haven't been hiking yet this year sadly....I'll look into it though.

That's amazing to me.

When I get a tick, I just pull it out.

I think it can take a while for symptoms to show up. I got interested because my son's friend just found out he has lyme disease that he got from his mother during pregnancy (she was not dx at that time). Anyway, the psychiatric-looking symptoms he and his mom have had been dx bipolar, but now they are looking at lyme disease as the cause.

I thought the mouth parts lodged in you unless you twist in the right way...

Is it possible to get a tick bite and to not know because it's in an area you don't necessarily see very easily? I'm not sure, but maybe they fall off by themselves when they're done feeding?

Yeah that's what she said....I think she was just having fun with her student....

That's amazing to me.

Sorry I didn't mean to worry you about blocking I doubt anyone did.....

Most ticks don't carry any disease. I think if Sometimes has never found a tick on herself, it's unlikely she had a tick she didn't notice and which also happened to carry a disease. The odds just seem to be against it.

I think they are hard to just pull out without leaving the head behind, which I think is a problem. There are a few different ways to coax them to pull their heads out - like a hot match
