Just curious, it seems like the stories Ive been reading everyone went undiagnosed-or misdiagnosed for quite some time. Is there anyone on here who saw a tick, got a rash, and was diagnosed and treated right away(like within a week or two of finding the tick)? What has your experience been like if you did? What was the treatment plan?

i didnt get diagnosed until 7 months after, but here is some very reliable info treating lyme and coinfections immediately after the tick bite:
