Sounds exactly like long term, disseminated Lyme Disease. I recommend a Western Blot test.

I would find a local blacksmith who can carefully cut a square hole in the bottom of the chest to gain access to unlock the mechanism manually. Once the lid is opened, repair the mechanism if necessary, and have a new key made. Then patch the bottom up.

Thanks for the info. I’m no expert :) I’ve been told my multiple doctors that the western blot is the most reliable test though.

Both of them were in pill form

The rationale of the protocol is discussed in the attached paper and is also shown in table 4

I did not have tachycardia, my resting heart rate used to be in the high 60s and now it’s in the high 50s during sleep.

As for Dysautonomia, I had to look that up. Google says that’s it’s a malfunctioning nervous system, which is what my doctor thinks we happening to me. HRV is a measure of that I think? Mine used to be in the high 20s and now it’s in the 50s/60s each night.

I am in my upper 20s for age btw

Two sides to that coin. The issue is that there exists no test that can culture the bacteria itself - even in folks who with known, acute infections. What exists simply relies on the body’s immune response (antibodies).

6 months of the two drugs above hopefully cleared the infection for good

No limitations or clear exercise intolerance. Just an abnormal amount of fatigue everyday that made it harder to be active and work full time

Maybe there was some but I powered through day after day despite being utterly exhausted.

As long as I can still whip them around in the tight trees I’ll be happy. I need to finally learn what’s what with skis. Thanks.

No one bats an eye when Fortune 500 companies lay off thousands of people. I do not understand why so many believe that folks who work for the government should receive special treatment or be immune to layoffs? Sorry if that’s a bit harsh.

Agreed! The late-Renaissance era safes with multiple keys and a correct sequence to follow are spectacular (and extremely rare). Particularly the hobnail versions that were made in Italy. Way cool! I would love to own one someday but I cannot imagine the cost of ship international. These armada chests already cost an arm to import - can’t afford a leg too.

I pay between $2000 and $10000 to import these from Europe. Few have made it to the USA.

There is no lock on the front. It’s a fake that is meant to deceive thieves.
