Well guys. A bit off topic for this forum, but since a lot of you guys are in contact with the great outdoors, and especially while welding, you become almost unaware of your surroundings I just wanted to post this here to hopefully help keep some of you from going what I've been going through for the past few years.
Keep a watch out outdoors. Deers are running around. I just found out Saturday that a lot of my health issues over the last few years, with various unexplained symptoms has not been all in my head. I was told that my test for Lyme's disease came back positive. I've had it for some time apparently and the Doctor today told me he felt it was in late stage (stage 3). Not sure how treatable it is at this point. Going on some long term antibiotics...but what I've read, late stage is hit or miss on treatments. Will I die from it? Likely not, but the symptoms can continue for years, or go away or reoccur even if the treatment is initially successful. Deer ticks are tiny. I never saw it, never had a rash or felt a thing. Still trying to figure out when, and where. I've always thought I watched out for this since I've been aware of this possibility due a few people I've known that got it. Even my Dr. said he had contracted it but caught it right away. He has referred me to a rheumatologist, and hopefully they can treat it well and figure out if there are any co-infections that those little bugs carry.
Again, take care of yourselves. Find you a good Tick checker if you can't see your parts that they like to attach themselves to.
Oh, yeah, for those of you looking for a sale, give me a call. No special "special" Black Friday Everlast welder sales lower than what I can offer you now, direct.
