I was bitten by a deer tick many years ago. I knew that because I got the bullseye rash. It was at least 13 years ago but I recall providing the tick when I went to the doctor.

They told me that about 1 in a 100 people who get bit by a deer tick actually get the disease but said they would test anyway.

If I recall, they took a blood sample and I'm pretty sure the test was the one that identified antibodies. It came out negative.

I know have several symptoms consistent with LD and am seeking an unbiased physician in MN to either confirm or rule it out.

It would be nice if that physician were in my Medica health plan which includes the Fairview Healthcare system but at this point I'd be happy with anyone that is willing to make a proper diagnoses.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm sorry but I am no longer accepting any private messages due to my own battle with lyme.
