Joe;
I have had family get this crap, keep the head of steam you have now and don't take no for an answer once you have a confirmed diagnosis don't let them blow you off or minimize the need for treatment. I have 3 guys that are shirttail relatives and firefighters up here. 2 of the three have been hit with this 20 plus years into their careers, and it ain't no joke.
Like DP said it is controllable with the right treatment and meds.
The days of me messing around in the pasture in tennis shoes are long gone, knee high rubber boots and I check myself every day I am out there. No more mowing in shorts, either. sucks, but gotta do it.

Normally it's perfume, gasoline or sports that waylays them before 18...sorry about the Lyme or whatever it turns out to be and hope he gets it all completed.
If he needs help with any MB let me know...
Can you post a pic of it here? UPS would be fine if you're not around here. Thanks!So how do you get a blade to your kid? Web site is cool, straight forward and to the point(pun intended). I've got a Gerber rib cutter that I've used for everything from shaving tomatoes (when it was new) to chopping firewood. Just UPS it?
Are you a counselor for Environmental Science by any chance?Normally it's perfume, gasoline or sports that waylays them before 18...sorry about the Lyme or whatever it turns out to be and hope he gets it all completed.

Yeah boy, that thing needs work!View attachment 483036 View attachment 483037
I used to work up on foothill, tired iron, but the closest I get to you is LaCanada now. Shipping is no problem.
Progress...
Awhile back, I opened a complaint case with Kaiser. They have been following up, and we now have an appointment tomorrow with an Adult Infections Disease specialist! No more pediatric doctors for him.
They have run all the tests for Lyme and Bartonella, so hopefully the results will be in by tomorrow.
Progress. Finally.
Thanks Dave. That's my position too. I've had enough. I will be going with him on Thursday.Hoping for a diagnosis so he can be treated properly. We Love Anthony buddy. Sucks to see him struggle as he is such a tough kid. I know he just rolls with whatever but Fuck, enough is enough.
We left Kaiser last November. A couple things happened and we felt we needed more personalized care.

Good to hear tha kaiser is getting off the dime.
Sorry it took so much sturm und drang to get you guys to this point though.:grumble:
I had an ex with Lyme disease and had it very much under control, but symptoms still did flare up. I don't have much to add, but just a note to say that I will be thinking of your son and hoping they get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, and if it is Lyme, know that this can me managed quite well. Good luck Rivermobster and Rivermobster Jr.
Thanks all. You guys rock. 👍Thinking of Anthony , for good results and a end to this.
From his so called funny friend. [emoji12][emoji106][emoji202]
Not trying to interweb diagnose or anything just throwing out my story.....
Wow, its crazy with the advancement of medicine that so many misdiagnosis still happen.
Prayers for a speedy recovery for your son.
My wife got us switched outa Kaiser
Seems western medicine does not believe in chronic Lyme conditions.
Lyme Disease can be serious business. Save your son's life and do whatever it takes to get out of Kaiser and get to a specialist of your choosing ASAP! Even if it costs you 5 figures+ up-front, it will save you and your son a lot more financially and emotionally in the long run. You do not want this to screw up his life as he gets older!!
I harbor a deep-seated personal distrust, hell hatred, of Kaiser. Over 3 first hand experiences where they've seriously hurt members of my family or close friends due to their medical negligence, inexperience and their inhumane butchershop business model. Also you can't easily take them to court for malpractice, only to arbitration. PM me if you'd like more information. Kaiser doesn't exist to heal/cure you, they exist to collect insurance money. Run, don't walk.
Thanks guys. We are gonna approach this by sending him out for all the normal tests, and my wife is on the hunt for a Lyme Literate doctor. Hopefully we will find one that will work with our insurance! Seems western medicine does not believe in chronic Lyme conditions. It's a very strange spot we are in...
Thank you all again. :tbi
FBT, sorry you got the other Scout experiance...most have a real good memory of Scouting. I hear a story where a guy was life and had his Eagle project all prepared and ready to go. The troop was based on a Military base and the Troop leader/post Commander took the project from him and gave it to his son...He also got a single fingered salute.
Why I oughta....As long as rivermobster thinks he is making the decision, we should be able to move forward.
