Prior to onset of PRS - maybe a few months after treated for Lyme.
Lyme disease was discoverd on age 7. After antibiotic: headaches milder and disappearance of tissue stopped.
Had a tick cut out of my right thigh in May 2004 -- had bulls eye, etc. Bulk of problems came after this, although photo shows spot on forehead in 2002.
Tested postivite for Lyme disease as an adult. Could have also been a false positive.
Never diagnosed with Lyme Disease, but bitten by tick which stayed in head 48 hours. Doctor said no Lyme disease-bearing ticks in Indiana so concluded I don't have it. Test inconclusive.

Number responding = 5 / percent responding = 3% of total respondents (143).
