Does this Lyme Make Me Look Fat?

Here is a short photo blog of my life with Lyme.

As you can see, I have huge swollen knees (especially my right one, though both are big),

two fat knuckles on my right hand,

and sausage feet (no comments on my need to paint my toenails, please– I have too much crap going on to worry about such minutia).

There are many other inflamed body parts and red, warm joints that are painful. Another new symptom this week is my jaw on the right side and my right ear is painful and I can barely open my mouth enough to eat. This disease is full of surprises. . .
