Western Blot

My Western Blot test came back with 8 out of 10 bars.  When the nurse called me and told me I asked her, what does this mean?  She said it means you have lyme disease.  I asked how bad is it?  I asked how long have I had it?  She said she didn't know.  I don't recall being bitten by a tick.

So, what does having 8 bars compared to 10 bars mean?  Is this a measure of the severity of the infection?
