 Additional EM lesions  Facial or Bell’s Palsy  Severe Headaches  Pain and swelling in large joints  Shooting pains interfering with sleep  Heart palpitations and dizziness  Resolve over a period of weeks to months

 Approx. 60% begin to show signs of arthritis  Up to 5% may develop chronic neurological complaints  Approx % have symptoms that last months to years

 Blood test  Electrocardiogram  Echocardiogram for heart  Spinal tap  MRI of the brain
