    Well I got bit by a tick about a month and a half ago. Still have a red dot where I pulled the tick off and got extremely sick yesterday/today. So I'm going to get tested for lyme disease. Wish me luck.

    Keep an eye on your symptoms as lyme test can be inaccurate... Your probably fine... but don't rule it out if you don't start feeling better. Do some research on it. Some docs will prescribe meds "just in case" which is a controversial method... but could be beneficial.

    Not diminishing your results, but having had Lyme myself (my Lyme test antibody levels were at 5.45), and reading about others who were wrongly diagnosed, it can be bad business down the road.

    Most of my symptoms have gone away except the body aches, but I will keep that in mind. Thanks for the heads up.

    Do some research if you get some time... the Flu like symptoms usually go away... Just keep an eye on yourself! :D
