Lyme, encephalitis, rocky mountain spotted fever, Fing meat allergies. #possumlivesmatter They carry lyme and tbe (encephalitis) over here plus a few other things that are more rare. We have tons of those little deer tick bastids out where we have our cabin plus I'm looking for a golf ball in high grass / woods once or twice a round.
June 20, 20241 yr My sister is currently waiting to have an appt. with an infectious disease doctor. She has an inflamed optic nerve which she was hospitalized for and treated with iv steroids. She has high levels of protein in her spinal fluid. I can't find anything in my searches of these symptoms. They've been ruling out things like MS, cancer, arteritis, etc. but Lyme is tricky since it does some really strange things, and you could be positive but test negative. Anyway, that is still on the table and hope she gets a diagnosis of what she has soon. The neuro-ophthalmologist in the city she just saw did say her vision loss is temporary. So that was good news. She's doing well but told us she is somewhat of a medical mystery.

Deer ticks are the ****es that carry most of this crap over here too. Hate them. Although the lone star tick is getting more notoriety by causing permanent meat allergies in people. It's a vegan plague.

I recently learned that deer ticks in their larval stage feed on mice and that's where they get the bacteria that causes lymes disease. I can only assume larval lone star ticks feed on vegans.

There has been a huge rise in mysterious, difficult-to-diagnose illnesses since the experimental vaccines were pushed out. I hope she recovers quickly.
June 21, 20241 yr 13 hours ago, we_gotta_believe said: They rule out histoplasmosis? I think so. She is not sick with coughing or fever. She was having a few seconds or a minute of losing vision in one eye-with some pain, so she went to the eye dr. When he checked her out, he sent her to the ER. She was admitted and they did lots of tests. At present the neuro op. doc is weaning her off the steroids and prescribed a diuretic.

Any tingling sensation on the surface of the skin above or below the eye? My doc was worried about shingles affecting my vision (but more so for cornea scarring, rather than attacking the optic nerve).

Misinformation swirls around unpublished paper on Covid-19 vaccine risks Social media posts claim a paper attributing a high number of deaths to Covid-19 vaccines was suppressed from a major scientific journal. This is false; the preprint document was never accepted for publication by The Lancet, and the journal and independent experts said the research was flawed. The Lancet Group told AFP the paper was removed from the server because its conclusion was not supported by the methodology.

July 3, 20241 yr I get all my medical advice from second-hand accounts of what nurses told some rando that's crying on tiktok.

July 3, 20241 yr I don't understand, does kz just not know anybody who works in hospitals? I mean, every single one I know (including more than a few family members), even the right wing leaning ones and COVID doubters, came away with straight up PTSD from the overflow of critical to terminal COVID cases. All of them to a man and woman described to me the 2nd wave of deaths which was ALLL from unvaccinated. The masks, the lockdowns, the 6 ft. separation, the vaccine mandates, all of that jazz may have been clumsy, half of it may have been even based on falsehoods. But all of it was part of an unprecedented attempt to get the masses under some kind of discipline to SAVE THE HOSPITALS FROM THEIR BREAKING POINTS. Nothing else mattered, and if the big bad guv'mint used some extraneous scare tactics well that's what they always do and Gawd knows they do it for sillier stuff. It takes unfathomable immaturity, lack of communal awareness and stupidity to sift through all that happened, cherry pick the things that should have been done different and actually make a case that the hospitals did not need this intervention.

What are the odds!?

So the people you know in hospitals say differently? My story lines up with what every government and medical community in the world says happened.
