I've actually seen worse than that plaid. A Cherokee in our flight school was purchased by a person with excruciatingly bad taste. This person put black fuzzy seatcovers with dragons on the front seats, the back seat got a hideous shag seat cover with some cartoon on it, and to top it off...

Have you been tested for other tick diseases besides Lyme? There's Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Ehrlichia, and another, I think it's bebesia, something like that. RMSF attacks the joints, like Lyme. Good luck, hope you find a diagnosis.
