I've been miserable for about five years, with stomach problems, sleep issues, night sweats, multiple bouts of unexplained Iritis, and now mild joint pain, muscle pain, tingling in my arms, and a loss of concentration and cognitive ability that is worrying.
I recently had many blood tests done, including one for Rheumatoid arthritis, but they all came back negative.
My eye doctor recommended a Lyme test, since "there are too many weird things going on."
While I know it may be difficult, if there is a Lyme literate doctor in the ProHeathCare network, that would be awesome.
Thank you for your assistance.

You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. You need to go where they are.
Also, most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":
