I know someone who works for the CDC.  She writes literature for them, but one of the things she really knows about is lyme disease.  I've heard her and my mom discuss lyme disease a lot because she thinks my mom should ask our family doctor to have her tested and treated for it. A few years ago my mom was diagnosed with granular aricheosis (that's probably not spelled correctly) another tick borne disease that can be deadly if not treated.  My mom is still have some physical problems and her friend things she may have had lyme disease also or has gotten it since.
Anyways, she really knows her stuff on it and she basically says this:
1)Tests can detect it, but they really aren't that reliable.
2)Symptoms are the best indicator and believes you should be treated as long as you have them.
3)A lot is still unknown, especially the long term effects on the body of the disease.

I know it's probably not any help, but that is what she would tell you and I don't think there are many people in the world who know more than her on the subject.
