Deer Tick Bite

So a week ago I had a really bad fever and couldn't leave my bed for days. Today I found a 3inch red circle on the back of my thigh with a red dot in the middle from where the tick was. I'm going to the doctors tomorrow, but I was just wondering if anyone else went through this. Will I most likely have lyme disease since the tick already came and went?

hopefully you havent had lyme long enough for any lasting effects, but if left untreated it can lead to paralysis and death....bad shit right there

i had lymes disease for at least a year untreated before they found it, and they gave me antibiotics for a long time and then i was fine. however, the antibiotics make you super tired and shit, they make you feel weird too. once its all over though youll feel great

i got bit by somthing about 3 weeks ago. i had like a red circle like 6" in diameter on my thigh. I went to the ER and got antibiotics. I just got blood work done today so well see if i have lyme disease. i never had any  sickness or things like that though.
