My understanding is that usually, if you catch and treat it during the rash stage, you should be OK. The worst cases seem to be those that are missed because there was no rash or it was in a place where no one saw it. There's some disagreement in the medical field about exactly what "long term chronic lyme" really is, but the symptoms can be devastating. And it's tough to test for. Years ago I was having some strange health problems and asked my doctor about getting a lyme test (I had been bitten by ticks a number of times and at one point did have a strange circular rash on my arm). The test came back inconclusive...some of the "bands" on the test were consistent with lyme, some were not. So who knows...I still have some health issues that are unexplained so perhaps I did have lyme at one point.
Good luck Lordy, hope you make a full recovery!
