Rash still here.

my neck is cramping up. i felt like crap today and finally got two weeks of medicine for just about 50 bucks. geez. the rash isnt gone. Here is my list of possible dx:
Leptospirosis
Meningococcal disease
Relapsing Fever
Septicemia

who knows what i have. hopefully i get better. at least this summer i wont be doing anything.

another thing i worry about is being pregnant. I just have this feeling that I am even though i've taken 2 tests and both said negative. so i'll force myself to wait a week to take another one. But I actually dont want to deal with that right now. I just want to get better. As it is we cant even get our tiny apartment in order.

At least my sunburn has turned into a nice tan thanks to the maker of Aloe Vera!

Good luck!
