Never had it but am a paramedic you will have a course of oral antibiotics which should be at least 14 days you can still feel the effects for at least 4 to 6 weeks even a bit longer sorry to be the bearer of not so good news hope your recovery does go well |

Lyme disease, worst case scenario causes encephalitis. It may be that having antibiotics early minimises the risk. Best bet - keep in contact with GP. |
