I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease probably about 11 years ago. This was a relatively "new" dx at the time and thank goodness, my doc was up on the literature and studies. I never even realized that a little dark speck that I could feel with my finger(and eventually dug out with a needle) could possbily be a tick. After digging this little annoying speck out of my leg, the blood just ran down and saturated a bandaid or two. My leg became extremely swollen and hot and hard to the touch. In my infinite wisdom, NOT, I ignored it and hobbled around like that for, I'm guessing, about a month. Never gave it another thought until about 6 months later when I was so exhausted, was suffering from headaches and migratory joint pains, chills off and on (spent the 4th of July wrapped in a blanket), and finally couldn't drag myself up a flight of steps because of the joints, that I knew something was terribly wrong, and went to a doctor. It was Lyme alright. Dear doctor put me on Doxycycline immediately for one month. He told me that the drug would make me feel worse (diarrhea, etc.) before it would make me feel better, but that my body would adjust to it given time. That was true and I'm thankful for his advice. I've been symptom free since, even though I request Lyme tests every once and awhile just to make certain it hasn't become active again. Please err on the side of caution, because Lyme untreated can have disasterous effects. Best wishes to all suffering from this ugly disease.

and that her mouth wasn't working (she was age 13 or so). She sat directly across from me and I could see the Bells Palsy setting in. I panicked a little inside. I quickly looked up Bells Palsy online (without her knowledge, I didn't want to scare her), and found that it was linked to Lyme Disease. I promptly phoned the doctor for an appointment and DD was seen first thing the next morning. They sent her for blood tests - it was Sat. morning and had to go to the ER for the blood work, but had results in less than an hour. She tested positive for Lyme and was treated with antibiotics for a month. 
Heres hoping you get better soon.
This is how it was with DD too. The Doxycycline will leaving you feeling tired. Fortunately for DD, she was treated right after the school year ended. She could sleep all she wanted. Once she was finished with the meds, she was back to her old self.
