Right!? I'm way scared cause I heard this is the one in the chest. But the wikipedia thing has it going anywhere so maybe not? But it seems SO much more involved and deeper so ugh! Every time I think I go through the worst, something else comes up I gotta do. And when I worrypanic everyones like OH YOU BUILD THINGS UP MORE IN YOUR IMAGINATION, IT WON'T BE THAT BAD. And its not. Its always fucking worse. So my bodys broken and apparently my imagination is as well

That is pretty insane. I don't really get to see the PICC lines before they're in people. They aren't so scary when all you see is the little cath tube. How long are they planning on leaving that in you?!
And did all of your spinal stuff come back negative for meningitis?
This whole thing just keeps getting crazier. I don't even know what to say anymore. I hope this isn't as bad as the spinal tap.
Where do they usually install the PIC lines? I was worried shes thinking of doing the creepy neck valve one. And do they do that in a hospital or does a nurse do it? I'm worried cause the tube seems way longer than a mid line and I've got way small veins.
The tap came back negative for meningitis and ms and some other stuff and just said its 100% lyme, which I suspected because the more time passes the more I seem to be getting EVERY symptom of lyme ever. Its cognitive and brain things now like some muscle control, vision problems, thinking problems, comprehension problems, in addition to all the other weird shit. If it was just joint pain that wouldn't be so scary but its not anymore and it freaks me out. Its becoming ridiculously crazy! Lauren said she had all this in the first year of shit being crazy too and she seems like she bounced back for the most part.
I hate how it effects my brain and makes me write like a mongoloid.
I'm pretty sure the neck valve ones are most for chemo. I have a dialysis patient on my unit who has a PICC line going through her arm. She lost a TON of weight after having it inserted and you can see it bulging through her arm now. If they're doing a true PICC line, they're going to go through your arm. If they can't use your arms for some reason, they may put in a catheter or central line somewhere else, but that's only if they can't use your arms.
And I write like a mongoloid without Lyme eating my brain, just saying.
Really? Ok, I feel slightly better. They want to put it in at the hospital so I was thinking how extensive is this gonna be!? How long was the dialysis patient on it for? I'm only supposed to be on it for 30 days. That's probably not what made her lose weight and its awful for me to admit this but my first thought when you mentioned that was OH SHIT, I HOPE IT MAKES ME LOSE WEIGHT TOO!!! Its kind of awful but that's what I think about and wish for more. Not that my limbs'll get better or that my cognitive problems improve but I wish most of all that I'll stop being this size.
