So over the weekend I encountered a tick. It was lodged under my right arm and I needed help getting it out b/c it was stuck in there pretty good. So on Monday and Today, my whole body is aching a lot. When I walk up and down the stairs my knees hurt and the right side of my stomach hurts a lot, even more if I cough or sneeze. Once a while I get a headache. It looks like a tiny ring is starting to form where the bite mark is. So I went to my DR and he looked at it and said "no, you don't have lyme disease, if you did the ring would be about 2 or 3 inches big." But what I don't get it is, I have some of the symptoms, so how is it not lyme? Can anyone tell me or give me some advice?

Weird, I wish I could explain or understood what was going on with my skin. We are yet so primitive that I don't think we've done much research in anything yet.

I took some sleeping pills and went to sleep today because I wasn't sleeping well, I woke up 4 hours later and looked in the mirror and I had 5 new moles on my face, a handful of those tiny brown needle sized specs on places on my body (places I never received them before).

My question is what could possibly explain this after 26 years? All my life, nada, then just OVERNIGHT..viola.. I wake up with a lot of tiny brown mole spots at once after 4 hours of sleep. Do we understand ANYTHING about these things? I can't get anything but general and very shallow information on this subject. I would love to have some better answers. I have to imagine it's something about my schedule that effected. But it's winter and there is no sun here, and that's the bland excuse I always hear about moles.

I was sick all day and then I remembered that my mum always gave me Coca Cola and Brezels to stop me throwing up. How does it work?

my Mom fell down on her back...I took her to E.R...X-ray showed a fracture in tail bone about 5 mm.
they do not recommend surgery...just pain killer.
doctor said " she might have to take pain medicine always."

I want to know ,..does this kind of fracture heal without surgery?

she is very brave and is still walking.
it is not hair line it is seperated.
