Does anyone know of a lyme disease doctor/specialist near St. Louis, MO. Since the beginning of March I have been experiencing numbness and pressure on the right side of my face/head and around my ear down to my jaw. I have less energy, get fatigued faster than usual, and my body aches. In general I just don't feel like myself. I went to the ER in mid March where I was diagnosed with having either Bells Palsy or shingles. I was treated for both with steroids and an anti-viral. I was referred to a neurologist where I have had the following test done: CAT scan, MRI, X-ray, and blood test for CPK and sedimentation rate. All came back negative or normal. The neurologist believes that I had Bells Palsy and that I caught it soon. The problem is I still have these symptoms; some days are worse than others. After doing some research online I came across Lyme disease in an article on Bells Palsy. This is how I came across the limenet website. I brought up lyme disease with my neurologist, but he didn't think I had any symptoms. This has just become stressful and I would just like a second opinion.
