Since I haven't had a thread in such a long time I thought
I'd use this one. Hope Jen won't mind.
Not much new. It's cold here in Canada. Minus 15C today. That's cold.
Heard from my youngest today. Here's what he posted....
Quote: I have been on
the couch for too long though with a nasty virus of some kind (that's why I haven't been on here too much last couple weeks) . I woke up one morning with swelling in my finger and then by that evening I had swollen eyes and a couple of hives on my neck . The next day was worse
with hives all over my neck , arms and legs . The hives past by after a couple of days and then weird pains started to spring up . Most mornings I would wake up at 4am sometimes 3am with just the most sore shoulders I have ever had , and the whole time day and night for the last three
weeks , a strange shooting pain would course through my right arm if I extended it out to reach for something , or put a t-shirt on . My middle and ring fingers on that right arm were just numb and if I mistakenly extended the arm those fingers would receive almost like a shock . (if
I kept the arm bent it was fine , after day three I learned to _*keep it bent all day.*_)
But this past week I seem to be almost 100% again , so no worries
My son has a home in the country... lots of deer and other animals in the area. He spends a fair amount of time outside. Could this be Lyme's from a deer tick?
I'm kind of worried about this but don't want to urge him to go visit a doctor. I'm sure he won't listen to the "old man" anyway. So I'm kind of hoping that Ellie will read this and provide some insight on Junior's virus. Thx for reading this. ..... Soup
