Is it really possible for me to have had lyme disease for decades?

the grand super C asked:

I’ve been doing alot of digging recently about lyme disease which I think I might have. I’m currently 29 years of age and when I was 5 my mother found a tick on me and took me to a hospital where they didn’t really want to do much-probably for the fact this was an inner city hospital where they don’t see many tick bites.

Only recently have I been feeling odd and am wondering why? Many of my current symptoms seem to fall in line with lyme disease like the stiff neck, aching joint in my neck, fatigue and flu-like symptoms-which has past for now. Other symptoms are somewhat related to slight memory loss, especially with vocabulary.

I have an appointment with my doctor this coming wednesday but i’m wondering if this disease could really have been in me for decades showing relatively no signs until now. I suppose me living a healthy life and diet could have kept the disease at bay, but that still seems like a long time.

    I' m niet zeker over decennia. U kon meer onlangs besmet te zijn. Ik werd gediagnostiseerd met lymeziekte ongeveer 6 weken geleden en ik heb het waarschijnlijkst het ongeveer vier jaar gehad. Ik herinner aan het hebben van een tik of een uitbarsting. Zo, veronderstel ik u zonder klassieke symptomen of het realiseren van het kunt worden besmet.
