For those whom have been through lyme and had the rash just wondering what your rash was like. I'm not diagnosed yet but my rash was a perfect bullseye. You could sell rifle targets with a picture of my rash. About 4 inches diameter on my thigh.

Most pics I see on internet arn't such perfect shape.

Dang, I love the power of the internet. Otherwise I would feel all alone!!

From downeast Maine where I don't know anyone that knows anyone with lyme!

Dozer~ The rash can varry a bit. But if yours was a perfect bullseye, it sounds like a no brainer. Do you have a LLMD (lyme literate doctor)? I'm glad you found us. It can be a daunting world out there. Lyme is such a difficult diagnosis. It is often called "the great immitator" because it mimics so many other disorders. And most mainstream docs don't recognize it. Many of them no nothing about lyme disease. And if they do think they know something, they think it can be "cured" easily with a few weeks of antibiotics. Truth is, if you aren't treated, I think I've heard, in 7 days or something like that, with 6 weeks of abx, it will be much harder to erradicate.
Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
