    When my husband had it they told us no blood test would show it up. He had fever and chills. We had to wait 6 months for him to be tested and he did have it. I told them about the tick he had on him so they started antibiotic for it just in case. They were hoping he would break out but he never did.

    I was treated for Lyme Disease about a month & a half ago. Tests came back negative but it was definitely a reaction from the tick I found on me after going to Oak Mountain! I had a fever, chills at the beginning, and my muscles grew so weak I could barely sit, stand, walk, hold my baby, and by day 3 it was messing with my fine motor skills – I was having trouble writing and brushing my teeth. It was terrifying! The antibiotics/pain needs they gave me almost instantly made me feel better! They told us at Oak Mtn that the ticks were bad and they weren’t joking! It was awful. I should have gone to the dr the first day!!!
