Rumors of 19 year old females going on missions

[PaloAltoCougar]

Sooner would be the right one to talk about this but there is a quack industry built up around telling people with persistent fatigue that they have Chronic Lyme Disease using tests that falsely diagnose it, then asking patients to pay for prolonged antibiotics.

She's the classic type of person that gets taken advantage of by these idiot health care "practitioners."

The day after we returned from a great trip in which we tried vainly to find ER Cougar, Mrs. PAC asked me to look at a bug bite she had picked up somewhere in the South of France (this was the first time she mentioned it). One could see the tiny bite mark, but far more concerning was the red circle, approx. an inch in diameter, that surrounded it. I've read enough about Lyme Disease that I immediately reproved her (lovingly and with love unfeigned) and told her to see a doc. Three hours later, she was in his office. He prescribed doxycycline (sp?) and ran some tests. Three days later, the antibodies test came back negative, but he's having her come back in three months to confirm. My sense is he's doing the right thing here and is just being careful. She can't be too sick, as she crushed me on a long climb Saturday during our first ride after a three-week layoff.

You can take cardiac with your #1 pick, but you are required to take on sooner's max contract, as well. And unlike Nash, he isn't planning on retiring anytime soon.

seems like if she never had the anitbiotics then cardiac is correct...she is an idiot. Per the article, Lyme disease is easily cured with antibiotics.

Cardiac's allegations are not baseless, they are with merit!

Yes. It seems she's latched on to Lyme disease as the reason for all her myriad symptoms. "Infest my brain"? If Lyme disease is the reason for everything she's experiencing, she's had a pretty rare disease course.

Uhhhh..... Not lying or stupid but she doesn't have Lyme Disease.

Okay, I'll bite. How do you know this?

So, care to back off your seemingly baseless allegation that the missionary is lying and/or stupid?

Comments on this article are gonna be funny:

And obviously this missionary of course is very, very unlikely to have had Lyme Disease. I would bet she is from a part of the country that doesn't even have Lyme Disease.

I thought there would be some obligatory interview, like when you go through customs. It sounds like a literal a rubber stamp process.

[Copelius]

Nope. I shaved down to the 'stache upon being accepted

Mothers hide their children from me more so now than when I wore a goatee.

Does MoTab allow full beards?
