In the middle of September this year I experienced some kind of stomach problem that neither I nor my doctor could explain. Every morning after breakfast I got severe diarrhoea and I had to run to the bathroom around ten times and then after a few hours it stopped. It made me feel awful and naturally I put this down to something that I ate, this went on for too long though and the only thing my doctor could suggest was that I might have become lactose intolerant but then it disappeared so this was ruled out. However soon after the big red ringed rash appeared and my doctor explained these looked like the early symptoms of lyme disease and asked me if I had been exposed to ticks. As I live in the middle of a forest I guess I must be.
