Process of Elimination

Well, the Lyme disease test came back negative.

So did whatever they test for to see if you have lupus. Or to see if you might have lupus. (It's not a clear-cut diagnostic process.)

So now I'm back to waiting to see the rheumatologist, which won't happen for another two weeks.

So much for pinning my hopes on a deer tick.

Unreliable little buggers.
