Thanks Shannon I looked up pictures of Deer tick bites and they are red and swollen. They didn't look like anything I would want to deal with, I am so sorry you have this also. I accept all prayers offered, and willingly give them back. I do believe prayer works. Mind over body has helped me more than medications. Meditation also has helped me a lot. I never give up hope and with Hope I can stay in the current moment and attempt to live a normal life. Now my gransons called me he was in training for a new job and they sent him home and told him to go see a docotr. He was working in a chemical plant and got exposed 3 times in 1 day to various chemicals now he lives with high blood pressure with a set of twins to support and family he keeps hanging in their at the age of 25 yrs old. Dear God Please help everyone that needs it now , hugs, Sandy
