I had Lyme disease in 1995 from which I made a full recovery though it took a long time laid up for twelve weeks and a full year before I felt fit again,developed heart disease six years ago which the specialist said could be a result of the Lyme disease but he could not be 100%. certain.
When I contracted Lyme I did not have the red bulls eye.
My ground is tick prolific and being bitten is a regular occurrence , last week I had several tick bites
all removed fairly quickly I think (know the greatest risk is if they have been attached for twenty four hours or longer)
Two days after being bitten the typical bullseye appeared at one bite site which then rapidly expanded to a couple of inches in diameter
contacted my doctors surgery first available appointment Friday the 20th May.
So far so good until today, today the bulls eye has all but disappeared leaving a mark that looks like a faint bruise
sure it will have gone completely by Friday leaving nothing to show the doctor, does the fact that the bulls eye has disappeared mean there is unlikely go be infection? How long is the bulls eye normally visible for? Should I keep the appointment?
Any doctors or experts on Lyme disease on here?
Should add I have no other symptoms, yet!
