Dave is one sick dude
I was dealing with various undiagnosed medical conditions in the 1990s. Then in 1999 they called it MS. Then in 2004 I found out it was really Lyme disease. Now, as if I didn't have enough to deal with, I came down with Thyroid Cancer this spring and had my thyroid removed in June. Apologies to all those whom I didn't tell, but I really didn't want to constantly talk about illness and be the sick guy. Now, I'll be glad to talk to anyone about this stuff. Just ask.
Thyroid cancer prognosis is good.
The medical community is totally incompetent when it comes to Lyme and MS.
Remember that giant deck I built in Freehold in 1988? That's when I was bitten by the tick.
