[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1912900, member: 109113"] Thanks. They were lucky that they got the bullseye rash, and smart to get right on it. The bullseye rash, when it occurs, is actually a good thing - it motivates people to deal with the issue before it really tears them up. I never had the bullseye rash, and mine went un-detected until several months ago. An acute Lyme infection isn't too hard to deal with, but a decades-old chronic Lyme infection is a totally different animal. What the Lyme spirochetes do is build little cysts around themselves and go dormant, until something wakes them up. Then they go crazy and cause inflammation and pain like you can hardly imagine. At that point, it is extremely difficult to treat, and takes a very long time. That's where I am right now, and it has been ugly. However, I have an excellent doctor who is very well experienced with Lyme disease, and my condition is steadily improving. It's a slow process, but I'm definitely gaining ground. The flare-ups that occur every time I have a major die-off of Lyme spirochetes are pretty rough, but every time that happens I know that I'm a little closer to wellness. I'm confident that I'll be OK soon enough. I'm thankful now that my hands have become useful again.
