It definitely can hit your brain - lyme can cause cerebral vasculitis, which is when the blood vessels in your brain become inflamed. Vasculitis is typically caused by a bacterial infection.
The neuro symptoms I had were nothing out of the ordinary of what a typical lyme person might experience, but symptoms were enough for my GP to send me for a brain mri. After mri results i was hospitalized for a week in an effort to find the cause and treatment. My hats off to the neuro doc that monitored me, he did not dismiss lyme when I suggested it as a possibility, and he advised me to see a lyme experienced doctor for treatment. The treatment is to treat for lyme.
