I am a 46 year old male and have been sick for about 2 years.I have been to many doctors with no diagnosis. I am an outdoorsman and have been bitten by hundreds of ticks over the years. I have many of the symptoms associated with Lyme including. Sore feet legs back. Muscle twitching, tremor, myoclonic jerking spells, fatigue, tinitus, hypersensitivity to sound, touch, smells, gastro intestinal problems(gas, naseah, ) insomnia, sick spells, restless legs. Symptoms sometimes clear up and then flare up again. I did get tested about 6 months ago but it came back negative. I understand the test can be wrong. I have been on disability from work and I am out of options as far as seeing any other Doctors and want to make sure I don't have Lyme. I live in Newburgh Indiana which is in the southwest corner of the state. Please send info if you can help. Thanks, Todd
