Asakiyume mita

There are two possible diagnoses on the table now (neither is Lyme--mentioning that because that's one that was tested and rejected and one that many suspect when they hear about the joint pain), an early one, which the illness seemed like at first (but then the disease progression deviated), and a later one that seems pretty much on the nose, especially given that his getting better has coincided with his taking antibiotics, which would have no effect if the illness were the first thing. The specialist is running tests that should reveal whether it's one of those two. In other words, we should know eventually. Superstition and other not-clearly-thought-out fears make me reluctant to mention either publicly until we know for sure.
