Brief Answer:
No clear reason to be worried about Lyme's disease!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I have reviewed your symptoms fully. The classical rash that signals a bite by the tick responsible for Lyme's disease is absent. Also, your symptoms are not suggestive either. There is absolutely no immediate red flag pointing to this.

I hope this calms your fears. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me.
