Best Answer

Yes. SEVERLY. Most people who progress to 'late stage lyme disease', meaning they have had it for awhile, develop nerological symptoms. A year ago, reading and writing was extremely difficult for me, with my late stage neurological lyme disease. I couldn't do any kind of basic math, speak clearly, understand questions sometimes etc. althought with antibiotics, you can regain much of your former self (as i thankfully have). it can definitely affect your mind. and if you look at before and after scores, you would notice a difference in your IQ score. but you can change it around again with proper treatment and diagnosis.
