John Price
boots only no clothes
sitting out on his porch in the summer heat cigar in one hand cold beer in the other
-🫀
... and his partner hollering from the kitchen about tick safety
no, I'm kidding
fr though imagine how sweaty he'd be, slick and ripe in every crease so he sprawls out, legs wide, boots thrust all the way forward to air out his knee ditches. he balances his beer on the arm of the chair so he can swing his arm up behind his own head, palming the sweat from the nape of his neck while he pretends not to notice his own scent, his drenches, hairy pit right there
#pits cw#ask me about the time i lived with undiagnosed lyme disease for like two months LOL#gouge answers#🫀 anon

Accidentally grossed out my mom’s pastor at her (mom’s) retirement party by talking about various medical/bio things I think are cool. Cursed by parasitology knowledge
#apparently most people find the way Lyme gets into people from the tick gross???#like they live in the tick’s gut but make their way up to the salivary glands when they bite ok? it’s interesting!#also spirochetes are cool

folks, I think I might have Lyme disease
#had a tick bite a while ago and I thought I yoinked that sucker off before it was on me long enough to transmit anything#but now I'm achy and headachy with a 102 degree fever and joint pain#didn't see a rash but sometimes you don't get one#anyway it's doxycycline for me in the morning ig#I managed to avoid it for 21 years so I guess this is just nature collecting its dues at this point#the agonies of living in the Lyme Disease Capitol of America (TM)

nurses…..
#marzi speaks#i know it’s their literal job but my life was saved this week. by nurses#i was septic. i genuinely could have died. but they saved my life and now i’m starting to feel like myself again for the first time in weeks#and i’m like. gonna be okay#we still don’t know what got me. if it was west nile or lyme or something autoimmune or what#but some of the nurses have gone through testing of their own or have autoimmune diseases of their own#and they’ve been assuring me and my family that no matter what it is that got me i’m gonna be okay. and whatever i have is treatable#and i’m just so relieved#the pneumonia’s improving a lot too#thank you broad-spectrum antibiotics. even if u are stripping my microbiome clean i enjoy having the ability to breathe comfortably#or. much more comfortably. not quite done yet#still. nurses work so so so hard and do so so so much for us and god it isn’t easy#and i’m lucky to be in a good location with good hospitals#but all of these people have been united in wanting to save peoples’ lives for a living#that is so compassionate and so commendable. these people need raises and less grueling hours

I've never been so tired in my life. Sleeping 20 hours a day since Monday and I still can't get in to see a doctor for another week.
I'm importing black market possums as soon as I can stand up. DEATH TO ALL TICKS

nothing is quite like the feeling of skipping a class you hate, and instead spending the first cool morning of fall walking around in nature and sitting quietly in the library. i have not felt this alive in a long time
#irl stuff#touch grass#go outside#observe squirrels n birds n stuff#read about lyme disease#live life like you're alive

My lower back and legs have been killing me and it could be stress but it feels very Lyme disease -esque and I swear if I have Lyme disease again, idk what I'm going to do but it ain't gonna be pretty
Last time I had Lyme disease I was in so much pain, and I had to walk with a cane. Then treatment was hell. On top of that it has taken me SIX MONTHS to physically get back to where I was before I had Lyme disease (I'm an athlete for context)
I would rather not go through that again
It doesn't help that I'm low-key freaking out because the last time I had Lyme disease I almost died due to complications, and while I don't think it's Lyme disease again, it sure as hell feels like it
And if it is stress I'm just making it worse by stressing about this
#word of advice#don't live in Pennsylvania#one in every two ticks carry lyme disease#almost everyone i know has had it#however it just hit me reallt hard#lyme disease
