My date last night brought over a movie for us to watch. The name of it was “Cabin Fever.” It’s about a bunch of young adults that go camping and contract some kind of awful skin disease from the water. Do I have to tell you how much I enjoyed that? ? This guy has got to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What ever happened to romance? ?? Last week he asked me to marry him. I asked where my ring was at. He has now told almost everyone I know that we are engaged and I don’t even have a ring!!! I see no hope for this one. Morgellons Update: Had a biopsy the day before yesterday on one of my “splinters.” My expectations are very low as to what the results will be. My appt. in Pittsburgh is Monday and I will let everyone know how that goes. P.S. Don’t ever watch “Cabin Fever”!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Cabin Fever" is about our ailment? Kickass! More legitimacy! Plus, that sounds kind of cool, I mean, not for a date movie, but I've always wanted a horror flick to appeal to me on more than a cursory level. This one seems to come up behind you and scare the crap out of you. Right on!

My Dearest Love, My heart aches for the day that we can be together and I eagerly await your passionate embrace. Do not be nervous about what the future brings. Marriage is not an end but a long, intimate dance together, so take my hand and we will begin. All of my love to you Hope Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time his is the force that lies within Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find He is a feather in the wind –LZ For special guest star, movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v_id=281703Cabin Fever 2002 - USA - Horror Comedy Reviewed by Stephen Holden REVIEW SUMMARY This horror movie finds an unusually potent blend of dread, gore and gallows humor that suggests a "Blair Witch Project" with the blanks filled in and the camera stabilized. The movie makes a rotting rural environment in which a toxic, corpse-littered reservoir (from which spring water is extracted) a scary metaphor for a contaminated world on the brink of a viral nightmare. The water is the probable source of a contagious disease resembling the Ebola virus that eventually afflicts four of five brash teenagers who have rented a cabin for a weeklong party that quickly turns into a nightmare — Stephen Holden, The New York Times

What I love about you most Ant is your charm! I find this quality that you possess irresistible.
I think that Bugs would make a wonderful bestman and it would only be fitting to have Adapted as the maid of honor. Are you up for that Adapted?
Morgellons Update:
I saw Dr. Hairplugs in Pittsburgh yesterday (Infectious Disease-UPMC).Yes he really had the worst hair plug job I have ever seen. How can anyone take any doctor seriously when he has the worst hair plug job in life??!!?? His words of healing wisdom to me were that, “anybody with Lyme that has been on antibiotics for twenty-one days is cured of all Lyme bacteria.” His healing wisdom on Morgellons was, “unfortunately, not much is known about it.” He expressed an interest in the biopsy and called my dermatologist to see if the results were in and probably to ask if I was off my rocker as well. The results were not in and he will never have them after what he did next.
Hairplugs said that he would like to run a western blot on me after he totally discredited my Bowen test results. This confused me and I asked Hairplugs, “Why do you want to run a Lyme test on me since you know I have just had two months of Biaxin? Didn’t you just tell me that anyone on antibiotics was cured if they took them for twenty-one days maximum?” Then I proclaimed that I must be cured and oh how easy that was!
He told me that I “could not possibly have Babseosis because I had never been to Martha’s Vineyard.” And “since my time spent in New London Connecticut was in the eighties, I could never have had Lyme that long with out any symptoms.” My reply was that I did have symptoms but he refused to listen or investigate. One other remark was that, “we don’t have Babseosis anywhere in this area” but he could not answer my question on how ticks can know where the borders are for states either. Must be some kind of genetically encoded radar like the implant in the bone on my foot. He never bothered to review the medical records that I brought along, other than the Bowen stuff.
I won’t even go in to detail about his contradiction regarding Lyme as being a clinical diagnosis and how much emphasis is actually given to unreliable tests. That was a very big issue. How is it possible that I know more than this top of the line Hairplug dude?
It was quit obvious that I was beginning to lose my cool at this point due to being highly annoyed by Hairplugs condescending attitude. I stood up to gather my purse and begin to exit as fast as I could. Hairplugs said, “I’m sorry if I’m not telling you what you want to hear.” At this point I get really mad and ask Hairplugs, “and what exactly is it that you think I want to hear?” He tells me, “You wanted refills on your Malarone.” This was the last straw for me. I rip out my box of Malarone (which he has already seen once) and point and read one refill remaining on the box and called him a liar since I never ever requestd a refill of any sort from this man. If he would have asked me what I wanted then I could have told him I need a doctor to investigate my Morgellons symptoms and help me. The Lyme was secondary for me at that time. I received help with neither.
So, I’m going shopping soon and cannot decide yet on what to buy. Freedom of choice is very nice. What will it be? Flagyl? Septra? Biaxin? Hope I pick a winner.
I had to all stop meds for about a week now but I got the scripts from the ER doc filled today and I am back on Biaxin, will start Malarone tomorrow. The Malarone has killed this like nothing else I have ever used but I did need a break due to the effects of such a large die off. I will resume my battle in this war once again.
Peace, Hope
P.S. Ant, I wish you were here.

Hope,
I was 8 years old when I was first bitten by a Tick, in quess where? Groton Connecticut, just across the Thames River from New London. I had a Bulseye Rash on my stomache, and was bitten elsewhere also. Of course they didn't know what Lyme was then, but said that it was FROM A TYPE OF BUG! I didn't start feeling run down whatsoever until in my early 20's, and didn't get real sick until I was about 30. I just turned 47, Old and wonderfully sick. Lyme Specialists know that you can have Borreliosis, and may not get sick until some type of Trauma, Stressfull Situation, Illness, or a Physical Injury, etc., and this can be years later. By the way,.............. Congradulations, you two.

Ha! That's the spirit, Orion. I was seeing double meself, earlier in the day, today. I'm so sorry to hear some of your saga. Dumbass doctors, indeed!
Hope! Of course, I'll be your maid-of-honor! How exciting this is!!! (YAY!) Let me know what dishes you'd like to be served at the reception. I don't think that You Who & You Too know how to prepare possum, but Bugs Alive & I both do. Actually, he roasted a great big one, just several days ago. Whew! It made me downright nauseous, just smelling it cooking though. It was one of those big, old, tough, boar possums. No good for eatin' really, but Bugs liked it just fine. Naturally, we'll be sure to get only the choice ones, if you decide you'd like possum at your reception. I make a mean possum gravy, too. Congratulations, to you & Anthill. I'm on Cloud Nine over this news.

Hey Ant! I'm really tickled pink for y'all and proud to be on board the wedding train. Bugs & I had some problems aboard a particular train last month. The Orient Express kept kicking us off and refusing to allow us to get back on. It's been easier to just take a slow boat to China instead. It's already equipped with its own foghon, anyway, so that comes in real handy. Here's something for you & Hope to think about. Maybe we can start a collection jar, to assist ya with it, at The Malt-O-Philia Malt Shoppe, down at 4th & Drucker. www.honeymoon-finder.com/

Morgellons Update: Took one pill of Septra last night before bed. Woke up this morning to a hair like fiber protruding through the side of my thumb on the top part. My first reaction was to get it out of me and then I knew I had to have some one witness this. I called my sister in to see this and it freaked her out too. She no longer thinks I’m delusional to say the least. She started hounding me to go to the ER and demand for samples (thumb hair) to be collected to send to the CDC. I did that. Long story short. Saw a nurse practioner, showed her a letter from the CDC, etc….. She brought in the doctor who manhandled my broken out arms. When I showed him my thumb hair that measured 1mm long, he grabbed my hand, pulled it out and dropped it to the floor. He never asked me one question and was gone in record speed. He never asked me how long it took me to grow it or I could have told him eight hours. Nurse Practioner comes back in and when confronted with the reason I was being refused cooperation with samples for the CDC, I was told they cannot do that in the ER. She referred me to the ID doc who saw me a month and a half ago. He is the same one who sent me to Pittsburgh and we all know how that went. What to do? What to do? ?? Somebody stop the merry-go-round I want to get off!!!!

A few strange things happened at this ER visit today. The registering nurse told me I was the third person to come in for a rash in the last ten min. I could hear the nurse in the next room explaining how to use Kwell to one lady. And, I had a temp of 101. something.
