you should see a doctor specializing in lyme disease no matter how long ago that the rash was first observed. if you have lyme disease it can be and still needs to be treated. over 300 000 individuals per year are infected with lyme disease. the condition requires antibiotic treatment to eliminate all bacteria in order to stop further bodily organ damage. this bacteria will fester in the body forever until treated completely. the lyme disease process may start out with a skin rash fatigue and fever and be dismissed as being somewhat annoying but not being worthy of medical intervention. some later stage symptoms of the condition include heart damage neurological defects arthritis and chronic fatigue syndrome. best wishes for your improved health.
would it be pointless to visit a doctor years after contracting lyme disease? . i was bitten by a tick a few years ago and was left with the bullseye rash that signifies lyme disease but i didn't see a doctor because i didn't know about the disease. i've had some symptoms that i suppose could be related (wrist pain muscle aches trouble sleeping) but would it be worth going now that my symptoms are so vague?
