> It may be worth lodging a complaint with whatever authority your country may have against that doctor that dismissed the bullseye rash. Because Lyme's disease is regional - almost exclusively found in the Northeast and Minnesota/Wisconsin - most doctors won't have had much experience with it. Lyme's disease also presents with a lot of different symptoms that are very difficult to differentiate from other conditions (including other tick-borne diseases), which makes it difficult for doctors in those areas to diagnose. The trademark "bullseye" rash of Lyme looks striking in pictures, but in most cases, it's less heavily pronounced, and it's harder to differentiate from many other possible sources of a rash or irritation. This is actually a problem for people who contract Lyme's disease more than once - after you've had Lyme's once, you will always test positive for the disease, even though you may no longer need treatment, so it's hard to identify patients who have been reinfected.
