Is it indicitive of Lyme to have an elevated SED rate and low vitamin D levels?

Not particularily, I don't think.
SED rates were pretty much the same in me both before & during the acute stage of my Lyme infection.
As far as Vitamin D levels, MOST folks' levels are "low", ESPECIALLY this time of year for folks living in the upper hemisphere- which is most of us (little sun exposure). I just started 1,000 IU a day of D-3 per my LLND.

Sed rate elevated means your fighting...Most Lyme pts. by the time they figger it out their immune systems are so turned off their sed rates are low...
Low vitamin D is common..These bugs rob our calcium used for biofilm which in turn causes low D...The body will do everything it can to maintain Calcium, even if it has to sacrifice something else. It is a fine tuned machine.
