Lyme disease.

Good lord. But, yes, having a name and cause for it all -- such a leap forward. Oh, as wretched as the treatments are, I so hope they work well.

I had a bullseye rash after a bite in tick country last year, and my doctor put me immediately on heavy-duty antibiotics. I tested clean afterwards. Thank heavens. I was so afraid. I can't imagine what it would be like to go through the disease and all its manifestations.

Oh good. The bullseye rash is probably one of the luckiest manifestations you can get, really; it means you get treatment early enough that it can work. I'm so glad you hit it hard and hit it early!
