What were your symptoms? I look it up and found this "The later phases of Lyme disease can affect the heart, causing inflammation of the heart muscle. This can result in abnormal heart rhythm and heart failure. The nervous system can develop facial muscle paralysis (Bell's palsy), abnormal sensation due to disease of peripheral nerves (peripheral neuropathy), meningitis, and confusion. Arthritis, or inflammation in the joints, begins with swelling, stiffness, and pain. Usually, only one or a few joints become affected, most commonly the knees. The arthritis of Lyme disease can look like many other types of inflammatory arthritis and can become chronic." I have been having an abnormal heart rhythm and confusion. I'm scared I have it...

Replies Masonica Posted at 2:06 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 Never had it, but you'd most likely know you got it because you need to have been bitten by a infected tick. Which leaves a bullseye sore on your arm for a few weeks and hurts a ton. If you had one you'd have noticed  . So don't worry to much   collegechick Posted at 1:52 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 i know you can get it from ticks jsgirl Posted at 1:50 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 I saw some girl on that TV show, Intervention. She had Lyme disease and was abusing her pain medications. Riot Posted at 1:50 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 Abnormal heart rhythm and confusion are symptoms for lots of things. Go ask a doctor.
