I concur with both posters. You need an appointment with a physician who is experienced in Lyme disease as of yesterday.
Lyme Disease is serious and you should see your doctor immediately. Lyme causes worse symptoms the longer you leave it untreated. Once you see your physician, invest in some bug repellent (the deep woods kind) as this will lower your chances of acquiring a tick bite. Also, if you have tall grass at your house, I'd suggest keeping it short and treating it with a lime treatment.
