I had it 15 years or so ago. It was pretty brutal.
I found out what it was with an already scheduled blood test. The doc saw the results (low white cell count?) and rattled off symptom after symptom to me.

Same mosquito as Chikingunya. And yes, Chikingunya is debilitating. Our housekeeper was diagnosed with stroke. It took a real neurologist, who was familiar with the disease, to reverse that call, months later.
It seems to hit women, in general, harder than men. My wife has friends who say they developed cancer from it. Is that possible? In any case, they have long Chikingunya or something like it.

Two more reasons to stay north as far as possible. :lol:

It inflamed my ankles so bad I could not walk down stairs until I fully recovered. When it hit me, my wife thought i had meningitis because my neck and joints were so stiff i could barely walk. It hit me on Friday in Antigua. When we got home Sunday, it felt like the fever broke, but it still read 105.

I still have ankle and other joint issues.

I liked that look on the GT3 cars, but not so much on street cars. Although if you get one in black it's not as bad.

Black and the dark green they hare using now are the only colors I would consider.

Yes, the GT3 is just sexy with it.

On the other hand I don’t know how any of you guys live where you live. Extreme heat, extreme cost of living, too much snow, too much rain, cracked roads.

Velo, Dan333SP and I are the only ones that live in a perfect place. :innocent:

I'm good with it. The Audi Nuvolari grill is very close to that anyway.

Just went to slide the seat forward 2 mm. Apparently during the ride it slid all the way back, it also scraped the markings off the rails so I couldn’t tell where it was before. I slide it forward and using a tape measure based it off the madone got it where I want to. Also did the knee string test, right down the middle of the spindle. Also with the seat position I think the stem length is good.

Note the good start the mighty Pirates are having.

That's why it was possed as a question.

You should devote time to worthwhile pursuits like MLB.TV

Oh? How much real climbing you got this week?

1) ATTN rjones28

2) 40F blows.

Regional climate variation.

We’re only 6 games in. Settle down, Blackbeard.

That said, I’d be surprised if the Red Sox win more than 70 games.
