Relapsing fevers are spirochetal infections with Borrelia sp. (gram negative helical bacteria) and are characterized by recurrent episodes of fever and apyrexia. Manifestations are sudden-onset of fever, chills, headache, tachycardia, nausea and vomiting, arthralgia, myalgias, and petechial rashes. http://www3.baylor.edu/~Charles_Kemp/fever.htm
Anyone with an untreated bullseye would benefit from getting blood drawn and sent to a tick born lab if it is after 30 days (takes awhile for the body to produce an antigen response).

People w/o insurance sometimes seek alternative care. Here is one example http://www.jnutra.com

If it IS a Lyme rash, it will usually appear to heal up after a while, but the spots will expand before & AS the rash fades. This is a clue it may be Lyme.
A Lyme rash means you HAVE Lyme disease… in it’s early stage.
You really should have it checked out by someone professional. Maybe you can call around to see if there is a walk-in clinic in your area? They can even set you up on abx if they see fit.
A regular doctor’s office today charges somewhere around $ 100 for a typical visit. Do you have a family member who can get you in to see their Primary care physician, or atleast the assisting nurse?
The bacteria that cause Lyme can go ‘dormant’ in some people only to flare up months to years later, when it is SO much more difficult to deal with (incl. diagnosing properly!) Have it checked soon.
