Hi! I feel a little silly... as if I'm REALLY reaching but... here goes.....

I was bitten by a tick several years ago (2002) -- whether I was bitten is not in question. I was.

I was in advanced (military) training and... when I noticed the tick -- we "burned" it off and I didn't think a great deal about it anymore (silly, I know).

I don't remember if I felt "flu-like" symptoms because my focus was on completing the training....

The oddest thing I do remember is the site where the tick was embedded would raise (swell) and itchy periodically (even years after).

Fast forward several years... I notice now that I have quite a few of the symptoms that are associated with LD....

I have a doctors appointment on Monday.

I'm trying to research what could be wrong and present my questions logically rather than emotionally.

My plan is to be very proactive with my health (that's difficult to do in the military).

Again, I have quite a few of the symptoms associated with LD....

My question: is it totally unlikely that I could be having symptoms/be infected so late after being bitten (also, I live in Md but was bitten in Tx).

This is all very frustrating -- I've been going back and forth to the doctors regularly since last July....

I live in southern Md but... will travel!

Thank you!
BTW, I think it's great that you guys are so supportive of each other!
