Um. This is maybe something you should have mentioned earlier, no?

So how many of you want to load up with this guy and do a canoe trip down the Amazon? He can't figure out if he's got the hep, the herp, or the hiv, a tick on his dick, or low T. I'm calling bullshit right now on all these "trips" especially the one to Everest.

Yeah, but, uh, duh, it hadn't occurred to me.

Between you and Spells, I just wonder how in the Hell either of you dress yourself in the morning.

On a positive note, glad everything worked out and another disaster was dodged.

Definitely not Lyme disease. The little eraser sized bump that I thought was an embedded tick was a subcutaneous cyst. The weakness and lethargy might have a lot to do with the fact that I was taking Test for low T for about 5 years and stopped a couple of months ago.

He took some blood samples and gave me a prescription for the test I'd stopped using.
Glad to hear it. :)

Hello, I needed to get a few questions answered. I'm afraid I have a UTI. I'm a hypocondriac and I always think the worse. What if I have bladder cancer or kidney cancer? This started 2 days ago. No blood in my urine. I feel like I have that urgent feeling but I don't know if it's all in my head. Theres no burning. I take muti-vitamins. I've taken 2 UTI tests so far and both came back negative. I'm really scared. I don't want it to be anything serious. Thank you.
Brief Answer:
You need to consult Psychiatrist.

Everybody knows that gradual low T/lethargy and weakness is part of the natural aging process. However, it's been shown scientifically that trying to correct low T with supplements can cause melanoma. So now you should worry about this deadly form of cancer.

I have a hard spherical growth of some kind right in the middle of my leg. It doesn't hurt to the touch but it's large and moves around a bit when I touch it.

I'm thinking it could be a fibrous cyst or perhaps a tumor.

Anybody here have something similar? Would like your thoughts before I go to doc.

Never mind. My wife came by and looked at it. It's just my kneecap.

Had a tick 5 years ago. Got the big swollen bull's eye rash. It went away. I felt fine. No knee pain in excess of the usual. Strong enough to do Everest Base Camp, a lot of backpacking. But now, in the last few months, I'm experiencing unexplained muscle weakness. I can only do about a quarter of my usual workout. But that's the only symptom I have.

Anyone got any info?
So what was the verdict?

Just got the bullseye rash, no other symptoms. The doc put me on Doxy. Ticks are terrible up this way, I know three people that came down with it this summer.

Seriously? I didn't have it. You went to the doc immediately. That's good.
