I've been treated for lyme twice. The first time the well known bullseye surrounding a bite mark appeared and is what triggered my first time getting treatment. I believe it was 10 days on a an oral antibiotic. The second time I was treated, I was treated more for preventative reasons. I found a deer tick embedded in by shoulder and took pictures so the doctor wouldn't been weary to possible treat a non-issue with antibiotics. I try not to take antibiotics unless I absolutely need too. Except lyme, if left untreated, can wreak havoc. Sometimes I worry that I either wasn't on the antibiotic long enough or perhaps I've been bitten again. I wish we would focus more time and resources into more easily diagnosing this disease.
