Re: WTH is going on with me?! I'm so scared.

There are no findings specific to the disease, but common initial signs include high fever, headache, sore throat, malaise, nausea and diarrhea. Chest pain and non-productive cough are also common. At least one-third of symptomatic patients develop pneumonia after exposure to C. burnetii. In addition, more than half of patients with symptoms will have abnormal liver function tests, with some developing granulomatous hepatitis.

Although the vast majority of patients with acute Q fever recover even without treatment, a chronic form of the disease can develop anywhere from one to twenty years after initial exposure.

C. burnetii is highly infectious – susceptible humans can be infected by a single organism - and is also resistant to heat, drying and many disinfectants

When you say you have Lyme, do you know what specifically was found? Was it found in a test?

Q fever should always be a consideration with Lyme disease.
