For the record more than anything, I think I’ve told most people … it turns out I never had Lyme disease after all, because Australian ticks don’t carry it.

I found this out the other week when I finally got to see the Infectious Diseases specialist at the Canberra Hospital. What I might have had was Queensland Tick Typhus, the first Google hit for which happens to be on www.wrongdiagnosis.com, coincidence?

Luckily my GP still gave me the right treatment, which was a course of weapon’s grade Anti-biotics. So all the little bacteria should be dead by now, hopefully. Unfortunately all the good bacteria in me are dead too, it was a real slaughter.

I had a blood test to confirm that I really did have QTT, which should be back soonish. Hopefully I won’t be browing www.wrongdiagnosisagain.com in a few weeks.
