Pkayd - It was hard to find information about the long term effects of Lyme Disease, but I did find a report about a Johns Hopkins study, "Chronic Lyme Disease vs. Post-Lyme Disease." Some physicians believe that Lyme Disease can be a long term chronic illness. You can find the report at this link:

I reviewed some of the Lyme Disease support organizations but could not find information on long term effects. You may want to consider writing one of the organizations to see if they have done any research on this, or would be interested in doing so.
