I was bent over with horrendous stomach cramps and at first they
thought it was food poisoning but that didn't prove out. It was a hot
summer day and my teeth were chattering so bad I thought I might break
them. The symptoms lasted a week then the rash appeared and they had no
idea what that was either as it didn't itch. Our good doctors over here
would have called it exema and given some salve to ease the itching even
if there wasn't any. (that's what happened on the last rash incident
before the tests came back)
Lyme disease is a very tenacious disease and it manifests itself in a
multitude of symptoms that mimic many different diseases. If you keep it
long enough it goes neurological and effects your ability to express
yourself and in my case made me dumber than a stump.
I kicked it a few years ago and am improving very slowly but I still
have a hard time holding my own in a one on one conversation.

Interesting that you mention Germany: on a Japanese TV program not long
ago, I saw a German motorcyclist -- a camping/tourer type -- who had
been completely paralyzed by the bite of a tick. This fellow was
traveling with a woman who was not ill, which gave at least some clue
that his problem was not from food or water ingested. Bit of a long
story. . . .
He largely recovered, but his affliction evidently mystified the
doctors for some time. He was a profoundly sick man. Maybe the ticks
in Germany are more virulent? I know little about this topic.

I contacted it in Germany in 1957 and was hospitalized in hidelberg
along with 10 other solders as they ran every test they could think of
with no diagnosis of anything, just one of those mysteries.
I got the arithma migrans rash every 6 to 8 years as well as feeling
like hell without any doctor diagnosing the problem until after I had
researched and self diagnosed.
Then as luck would have it I got the rash again and insisted they
test me for Lyme. The test came back positive and the rash at the same
time made a positive diagnosis.
They got all excited and wanted to bombard me with ABs as if I had
just contacted it, telling me they could stop it if caught early.
I opted for CS and more or less cured it in three days.

I have had it twice. The first time the doctor told me they didn't know
what caused it but it would go away in two weeks by it's self,and it
did
without treatment. All I had to do was operate my eyelid manually until
the eye would close again.
After a lot of research on lyme disease ( that I suffered with for 42
years)
Where do you live? The spirokete that causes Lyme Disease was
introduced into
the US in New England until the late 80's. Before that it was in
Europe, but
not identified as such until it was identified in the US.
