Man, that bites. Is there anything they can do to treat the symptoms? I hope you feel better soon.

they just load me up with antibiotics the fever never really goes away I just keep it under control with hourly doses of Tylenol and Advil. It fluctuates between 101 to 99.6 I'm pretty much destroyed and can't do anything except lie on the couch. Luckily I have my laptop or I wouldn't even be able to write this LOL

the doc gave me a months worth of antibiotics but he said if I don't feel better by next week I should come back in. Be very careful outside this summer lots of people are getting hit, I was only outside an hour and I didn't even know that I had gotten bit.
