Lyme Disease

So sorry to here that......I am in my gardens all the time. I found a regular tick on one of my pugs, but it was just crawling and did not attatch itself yet! I keep checking myself too.I'm curious... How are they treating the disese?

I had Lyme twice. The first time, I had the classic rash, and six weeks of tetracycline later, I was fine. The second time, no rash. I thought I was going to be crippled for life, suffered for a year, and it left me with fibromyalgia.
If you think you have it, please get checked out. I waited and went from healthy and strong to permanent damage.

I had a tick bite that had the bulls eye rash come up and by the time I got "worked in" at the DR office it was dissipating to just pale pink. He said it was a bug bite and refused to do anything about it. Is there a test I can demand that he do? This was 4 years ago and I have started having chronic joint pain.

Every one here is right; do get it treated right away! And insist on getting tested if you even suspect you may have it.
My DH went undiagnosed with Lymes for well over a year. He was very ill and couldn't work; lots of common symptoms but the docs here in Arizona wouldn't even test for it back when he got it in the 90's. We finally got him tested and treated. He never had the classic bulls-eye rash either, but his test results were definitively positive. After almost a year of various antibiotics, he's left with tremors, insomnia and other various neurological problems. He's been disabled since; changed our lives dramatically.
