Well there is really no good time to get Lyme disease, but I got it right before my trip I had planned to the NYC area for my friends wedding, so basically the worst timing ever. Rob dropped me off at the bus stop in Pittsfield where I caught a bus to NYC, and my plan was to get to a clinic as soon as I got there. My friend Stacy (thanks Stacy!) helped me find a place and I was able to navigate the transit system to Hoboken, NJ to an urgent care clinic. They were great, got seen fairly quickly, the doctor told me what I already knew (yep, Lyme disease) and gave me a prescription for the antibiotic doxycycline.
