As you know, early symptoms of Lyme disease typically include a rash and flu-like symptoms. Later symptoms are joint pain and neurological problems, such as temporary paralysis of one side of your face (Bell's palsy), numbness or weakness in your limbs, and impaired muscle movement.
Primary progressive aphasia is a rare nervous system syndrome that impairs language capabilities. It is caused by a shrinking of the frontal and temporal lobes in the brain, primarily on the left side of the brain.
Personally, I do not think Lyme disease caused primary progressive aphasia. I suspect some form of dementia and suggest a consultation with a neurologist.
