Within the last 2 months I have had a litany of symptoms I am convinced based on extensive research are due to Lyme disease and yet no doctor seems to want to treat (because a western blot came back negative) the likely underlying cause and would rather send me to a bunch of specialists who tell me I am fine. I have only been able to find one doctor via Lyme website referral searches and he doesn’t take insurance.
Symptoms listed below in case anyone wants to chime in on that as well. -Chronic knee pain -Arm muscle pain (Soreness/pain in right forearm lasting a month now moving up to elbow and down to wrist) -Fatigue (constant) -Dull flank pain -Dizziness (Especially when driving. Feel woozy, detached) -Caffeine/ Alcohol seems to worsen all symptoms. Alcohol creates a warm/hot feeling in stomach lower chest -Trouble concentrating, brain fog, trouble finding words sometimes -Heart Pain/pressure -Spiking blood pressure -Cold hands and sometimes feet -Limbs feel numb or weak -Tightness in calf muscles -Facial numbness and jaw pain right side -Shooting/stabbing pain in legs and feet
