I was bitten by a tick in my right leg (bottom half) spring 2016. It reacted like 100 times worse. I got a rash, but not the typical bull's eye rash, so the doctor ordered a blood test which came back positive for Lyme.

Just my luck.

I got 30 days' worth of antibiotics.

The rash continued to be there for a year taking up half my bottom leg, itching like crazy, so totally out of the ordinary, because normally this rarely itches.

And every spring since then the rash sort of re-occurs.

But my RSD/CRPS thankfully "took it well".

Or, is it that due to the fact that I have RSD/CRPS the reaction was rather "fierce"... which it was!

It was just... odd.


What did your doctor say, because by now you have seen him. Sorry for my late reply!
