Arthritis is bad enough, but not the absolute worst that can happen with
untreated or UNDERtreated Lymes disease. My eldest daughter was possibly
undertreated and the side effects, now years later may be the terrible
migraines with
aura, migraine seizure w/aphasial. Google human lyme disease after effects
and it'll scare the pants off of you. We're "almost" hoping it's "regular"
migraine disease, results are pending.
