James, I'm sure you have insurance. Go see your doctor or a rheumatologist.

I've seen Lyme disease out of control and start to look like multiple sclerosis. And lots of people are misdiagnosed with Lyme when they really have ALS, MS or myasthenia gravis.

For some reason I thought you accomplished that at one of the first events this year...? CBP?

i don't think your symptoms would be that acute. you probably just injured something and subsequently injured other joints by compensating for the painful ones while working out.

pretty sure your goal used to be 15 Just go to a SJ event, you'll get 1st unless provost is there.


James, get multiple opinions if you keep having symptoms. Doctors tend to suck at identifying what you have.

You could just be a little sore from pumping iron ... maybe a take a nap? drink some chocolate milk?

It depends on the dog too, so if your luck has been bad with the dog with the vet, it will most likely continue.

I had a Golden Retriever that ate part of a Berber carpet, the carpet string got stuck in her stomach. The vet said she would die in 24 hours from some sort of toxic chemical from her stomach or the carpet. She was throwing up all over the place, so we had to fix her. There were various other problems, so I figure I spent approx. $10000 over the 14 year life. My bull mastiff cost us some money too, but not as much as the golden. Now I am left with 2 Laso Opso's (spelling?) male and female. They are supposedly trained, but **** and poop all over my house, new carpets ruined again. Love my dogs though, so we usually pay the vet..



Good luck with your dog....
thanks Mike

I've looked into pet insurance and it seems that anything that could appear to be a congenital or genetic defect with a certain breed is exluded. I'd rather just save and pay for it and be done with it.

I gave my wife a speech about how selling your possessions to acquire things isn't that smart. If we lost our jobs or were barely making ends meet then maybe, but not when it involves a bit of foresight and saving.

have you looked for other vet hospitals? some may offer lower cost services.
