Hi and WELCOME! Get a LLMD or at least Dr that is willing to learn about lyme. Borrelia Burgdorferi is a clinical diagnosis, based on symptoms and on your response to treatment. Good Luck, bumpy road ahead.
Post for a LLMD in Seeking a Doctor. Ps remember I am not a Dr, just a fellow sufferer.

My husband not too long ago had a tick embedded in his head while we were at a military base, which we surmise had been embedded for almost two days. We had it taken out right there at the clinic and asked them to put it in a plastic bag for us to mail off for testing.
Since I have Lyme, I, of course, panicked and called Dr. C right away for a number to Igenex. It takes around l4 days for the results to get back to you. Unfortunately, they called sooner because the tick was positive for Lyme, and Dr. C put him on Doxy for about 6 weeks. He's never shown signs of Lyme and that was several months ago.
The cost for tick testing is $55.00. It doesn't matter if the tick is dead or alive. They can test it either way.
I think it's worth it, rather than having to worry. You can depend on the test.
Good luck.
