[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I had Lyme disease last year and I didn't feel abnormal at all. [/ QUOTE ] WTF? I thought it stuck with you for life? [/ QUOTE ] Lyme disease appears to be a pretty controversial topic; I did some reading about it a while ago when I was having some problems that might have been explained by having Lyme disease. The typical response is a pretty long course of antibiotics, which is supposed to clear it up. I think most doctors say this should be something like 4 weeks, but some people seem to think months are necessary, and that if you don't do this you can get flareups later on, et cetera. There are doctors that apparently specialize in Lyme disease; it seems like a fringe specialty, and they are few and far between. [/ QUOTE ] I've had a couple family members with Lymes, one multiple times. (I live in the sticks, and Lymes is rampant here.) If you catch the infection in the bullseye stage, it's generally before It's gotten into the bloodstream and organs. This is great, because treating it is a normal course of antibiotics for a week or 10 days. However, many people don't notice it at this stage. It's real trouble if it spreads before you catch it. It can disable you. Treating it is usually antibiotics by IV at this stage, but it's wicked hard to kill once it gets a foothold.

Re: Lyme disease
I used to know a guy with Lyme's disease. The claim he used to make is that medical insurance companies have leaned on the doctors both to misdiagnose it and to underprescribe medication. From what he was saying, lots of people with Lymes have the same complaint.
I have no idea if he's or just paranoid, but I would recommend using google and doing your own research. Maybe your doctor really has been compromised.

Re: Lyme disease
I had Lyme Disease a few years ago-- Cleared up no problem after taking the prescribed antibiotics. Screwed me up something nasty until they figured out what it was though. Drinking/Drugs shouldn't matter unless it screws with the antibiotics.
Oh, and if you're the tbach I think you are, this is arak. Come use the funnel soon <3
