Hi Sparrow
I also live in CT and my DD got lyme disease when she was 5. She made a very quick recovery and has not shown any symptoms/problems since then. My neighbor also got it--a really bad case and he made a full recovery as well. I know there are horror stories out there and have heard many myself, but really if you take the antibiotics, your chances of having long term problems is really, really small.
As far as exercise goes, I think you're better off taking it easy and allowing your immune system to give 100% to fighting off the Lyme Infection along w/ the medicine. Don't push yourself--Lyme is a big deal and you don't want to take the chance of making a minor problem a major one. IIRC, the lyme spyrochetes have a 21 day life cycle so the first 3 weeks are the most important in terms of medicine/recovery. The last week is to kill anything left. (I'm assuming you're on a one month protocol).
Take care--
