Wow... I am so sorry to hear this! I've been panicking on and off about my husband getting it. Its been a BAD year with ticks here too sweety. I've picked at least 8 off my husband, and one from myself. The only thing I can remember is that if you contract lyme from a tick that there is like a 90% chance you get a bullseye shaped rash at the bite spot?!

I really hope you start feeling more like yourself after all this. We will be enjoying your company to say the least for the next 3 weeks. If you need us, we are so here for you.

It's not a 90% chance of the rash, it's actually much less than that, some people have no indication they've been bit. My shingles may have been the 'rash', there's a correlation between getting Lyme and developing the shingles.
