Hi,
You know, the weird thing is we don't have Lyme disease in Australia but in 1988 I was bitten by a tick and got a rash about 6 centimetres in diameter around the site, A week or two later (I don't remember exactly) I became very dizzy at work and felt as if the floor was moving. This lasted for weeks and I felt very unwell, I also had a rash over my trunk that came and went and various neuro type symptoms with paraesthesia, tics (no pun intended) etc. My GP at the time ordered numerous tests including one for Lyme disease. To this day I don't know why he ordered it when I hadn't been out of Australia for the previous 8 years and couldn't have been exposed to it. Oddly enough it came back positive and I had to have it repeated. It came back positive again. The laboratory and my GP assumed it was a false positive and dismissed the results. I was never treated for it.
Regards
