Title: Hello there :)
Post by: @Cat on March 28, 2007, 16:50:15 PM: Hi all,
I'm Sarah, 26 (well, 27 next week) and I live with my husband Will near Great Yarmouth.
We have three cats, there's @ and Iris, our Tonkinese kitties. They're 10 months old and house cats. Nose is probably about 6 years old, she came to us as a stray 4 years ago and we took her in. She was painfully thin and scared of everything back then, she's plump and content now.
When Nose came to us, she had ticks which have made Will and I very ill with Chronic Borreliosis. Now we know what's wrong with us, we're being treated and will hopefully get alot better over time.
Anyway, just wanted to say hello as this looks a nice, friendly forum.
Sarah. :)

Post by: @Cat on March 28, 2007, 17:40:33 PM: @ is one of our cat's names, it was either that or Ampersand. (Or Slash but she can't play the guitar very well ;)).
We just wanted a computery name for one of the kittens and yes it's just pronounced At. :)
Friendly and mad sounds good. I'm a bit odd myself.
Thanks for the welcome ;D

"Where's who where?"
"No. Where's At?"
"At Where?"

As Sam said, Borreliosis and Lyme are one and the same.
Our specialist strongly suggested that we take a herb called Samento, I was skeptical when he suggested it but it's fantastic.
Will and I are three and a half months into treatment and we've improved a little which has made a big difference to our lives.
I can't always post so if I take a while to reply to stuff, even though I'm online, I'm not being rude.
Back to the kitties.. meet Nose, @ and Iris (top to bottom) :) :) :)

Post by: CurlyCatz on March 29, 2007, 09:54:30 AM: Lovely piccies sarah, i cant recall seeing a tortie tonk before :Luv:

You were most unfortunate contracting the lymes, esp both of you..ive actually not met anyone who has altho we were made very well aware of it at college. (lice and fleas dont bother me but i ALWAYS hated dealing with vile ticks :sick:)
