[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1913146, member: 109113"] She may have been one of the lucky ones who got the bullseye rash and knew right away that she has Lyme. The bullseye only appears about 20% of the time, and doctors routinely tell people that when they have had a tick bite and don't have the bullseye that they have dodged the bullet. The reality is that quite often they haven't dodged the bullet, and they won't know about it until later - when it's a chronic case that is difficult to treat. That's my situation now. Another thing is that the tests for the disease are kinda sketchy, and it takes a real Lyme specialist to know which ones to use for which patients. Any time there is a tick bite, testing for the presence of Lyme is a good idea. There are also other infections that are carried by the same ticks, and these can really complicate the picture. Sometimes the co-infections are even worse than the Lyme disease. I'm glad that your mother has successfully dealt with her Lyme disease, because I wouldn't wish this on anybody either. This has been a nightmare situation for sure, but I am getting better. It's going to take a while longer, though. I'm pretty sure that your mother would agree with me that it's a real "character-builder." At times, though, I have to wonder - just how much character does a guy really need to have ??? [/QUOTE]
