Just mash your burned hand on your scanner. I know you've got a printer/scanner/fax with no blue ink.

Use your other hand to draw a picture of it.

It's gastritis. Doc said too much alcohol combined with the ibuprofen I take for my back. Put me on Zantac 150 which minimizes your stomach acid.

Did he by chance mention anything about less alcohol?

You probably already know this but it is important to take ibuprofen (or any nsaid) with food. If you are taking ibu regularly, especially higher doses, it might be better to switch to Aleve because there is less cardiovascular risk (although there is not a consensus opinion). Lancet, one of the top medical journals, published an article saying high dose ibuprofen may have similar risk to Vioxx, which was removed from the market, and a year of high dose ibu may put your risk of an avoidable fatal heart attack at in 1,000.

I've had multiple run in with deer ticks over the past few years, but i'm relatively sure this time around I got lyme or some other tick borne disease.  I've had a headache for nearly 3 weeks, mostly in my ear if that makes any sense.  Have had a slightly elevated fever of 99.2-99.9 pretty much all the time.  My ankle where the farger bit me feels like it's seizing up as in my mobility isn't right, and I have aches in my shoulder where i had surgery. 

Scheduled a doctors appt for Wednesday to go over it all, but it's odd that a tick that was on me for less than two hours had an effect.  I thought they had to be attached for over 24 hours to transmit, so I didn't think twice about it on me.

I've had 25+ tick bites this season.  People need to care less about deer.

[hbionic]

What the farg? Where the farg do you guys hang out? Holy shtein that's disgusting.

Most of those are from two days working in the woods/fields of an undeveloped property on Kent Island.  Overrun with deer.  Tick heaven.
