You guys are so amazing! It's stuns me at the generosity of all of you!! I know she's just dumbfounded at the constant donations! If there is anything any of you need ever, just let me know!

I'm going to try and list some stuff later as well. I was thinking of offer some etching services as well. Dunno how that would go? We'll see.

Sent what I could for now. I will see if my sister agrees to help with the packaging/shipping of some gear and I'll list it on here or on eBay as I'm currently interstate. If I get home a little earlier then all the better and may find other bits and bobs to list. My thoughts are with you mate, your sister and the rest of your family. xo

terrible, I've know several people with lyme disease it is bizarre. One friend died from it, another is perfectly fine.
I will chip in a bit, once my pay check clears.

This is going to sound weird maybe, but anyways, I had read the FB post you shared about this JWAR on Sat. morning. I went outside to do yard work for 4 hours or so. When I came in and got in the shower I found a tick. I have been a little freaked out. The bite has grown, swollen, become irritated. Yesterday I went to the Doctor. I am on antibiotics. Not sure if it is Lyme Disease but still...

Anyways. I am trying to raise a few bucks to toss in the pot bro.

The deer tick make a bull's eye mark, they are the carriers. But lyme disease is very hard for doctors to diagnose. Usually starts with joint pain in the knees, FYI.

I'm not a doctor! So it's good that you are seeing a real one! But I can say: I lived in the mid-Atlantic for a couple decades and love the outdoors. So I've gotten dozens of tick bites. Some swell a little and that seems normal. They almost always ache quite a bit for a little bite, as well. And I was lucky, never got lyme's; until jwar's sister I only met one person who ever did catch it. And at one house our yard was overrun with thefuckers; the dog got dozens of them too. So... yeah! I don't think you need to panic. It's a good idea to be safe, but unlikely that it's too bad. Also, panic reduces your immune defenses! So don't panic! Lol :group:

Chronic borrelia isn't a treatable/certified disease in Sweden, but it is in Denmark, Finland and Germany. It might be worth looking into the possibility of getting treated in one of those countries?

I used to live on 400 acres in KY and have had ticks on me before. Same deal with the dogs I had up there too.
I am not super freaked or anything. I just haven't had a reaction like this before. It isn't the classic bullseye, and that doesn't show up everytime either.
I told my lady about lyme disease and mine bite kept looking worse, she really wanted me to go. So I did. No biggie, it was just weird, the morning that I first thought about lyme disease in years, I get bit by a tick.

Looks like I have a buyer for my pedal by next week at least so I can DONATE.

See the thing about lyme is most times it's a simple fix with an antibiotic. I think it's pretty rare for it to affect you this greatly. It sucks. You guys are really cool though. I really appreciate all the help and I know she does too. Bros forever!!!
