Introduction	I've had Lyme since 1997. It started with a classic bull's eye rash and a month's treatment of amoxocillin within 3 days of a known tick bite, and within 24 hrs of developing the rash. Problems emerged immediately, but nothing diagnosable. With increasing difficulty, I worked as a usability engineer 60+ hrs a week and rode high level dressage. Between 1997 and 2001 many symptoms emerged, I've had almost every symptom of lyme except death, suicide, osteo-arthritis and (we're unsure on this one:) 3rd degree heart block.
