Poor George :(
A little over a year ago I got bit by a tick and developed a bulls eye rash and super achy joints. Dr treated for Lyme but it's impossible to know if we got it or it went into "hiding". It is such a nasty bug.
I sure hope he gets to feeling better and you guys can manage it.

Over here Lyme is RARE, so the Dr didn't think titers would be any good (he said there's too many false positives and false negatives, I had the bulls eye, let's just treat it). I went on 14 days of Doxy. No tests before or after. So far no flare ups that I can tell, but I also deal with an autonomic nervous system disorder that gives weird symptoms, so it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff sometimes.


I almost wish I were on the East coast where Dr's seem to be more aware of it.
