Many people have Lyme & other TBDs w/out ever seeing a bull's eye rash. Some have other types of rashes OR no rashes OR mild symptoms 'til much later. A "stressful" incident can kick Lyme into full swing. I had Lyme for over 30 years and had symptoms all those years, not knowing what it was, but I was able to function. I then had a twin pregnancy and became totally disabled w/in 6 months. My twins were born w/Lyme and one had lots of symptoms, the other only a few. A concussion made the Lyme disease go off the charts.
Also, more people than not who have Lyme have negative tests. The tests are inadequate & the dx is SUPPOSED to be Clinical dx, but IDSA scare most docs into feeling they must have proof in a test. My LLMD knew I had Lyme before even testing me due to my symptoms.
