I did leaf work on Saturday morning here in CT. By 3pm Sunday the underside of my knee/top of my shin was absolutely killing me - as if I had been hit there by a hammer. I did not remember walking into anything and banging my leg, but the pain was so severe - I was wracking my brain trying to imagine and remember, what I did to myself. I was wearing "skinny jeans" and could not roll them up to look at my shin. The pain just kept getting worse and I am usually not a wimp about pain as I constantly bruise/cut/scrape myself while doing things and live with it. Around 8:30 I was home and changed into my sweat pants and had a look. I had a huge red, swollen bruise on the very top of my shin right under my kneecap with a very small "scab" in the middle of it. The "scab" had a small outline of red blood - so I still thought I had whacked myself extra hard and even broken the skin which "had already formed a small scab". Shortly after I found the "injury" - my head began to spin so badly, just out of the blue. I went on like this until Tuesday morning when I saw that the "scab" was about to flake off. I went to brush it off, but instead wound up having to PULL IT OUT!!! The scab had 8 tiny legs and crawled on my hand. I am on 200mgs of Doxycyline a day and very sick with a headache like a spinal tap headache, stiff neck and joints, fevers, night sweats and chills, and a bull's eye rash.
