Many times we have no idea we were even bitten. Testing is inaccurate, but there is a new test available at Advanced Labs that is more accurate. You can also at least get tested but make sure you get a Western Blot, and review the results yourself. One of the reasons it's so innaccurate is that they don't read them correctly.
It's worth testing for. My symptoms started 10 months postpartum. Where would I get tested? My fear is that if I go to lyme doctor they will tell me I have it even if I don't test positive. I don't want to take any medication that could make me worse.
