I tested positive for Lyme a couple of months after noticing what I thought was a spider bite. It didn't have the distinctive bullseye, but it gave me a sunburn-like rash over my entire upper arm. I took three weeks of doxycycline.
I can't definitively point to Lyme as the cause, but my knees were a little worse than usual for a while, and my hearing got worse in one ear (not yet recovered).
On the plus side, I discovered probiotics, which seem to be good for my, er, digestion.
It's funny, even though I had just seen Daryl Hall talk about his struggle with Lyme disease on Live from Daryl's House, it didn't occur to me that the bite on my arm might be from a tick.
