Hello, I am new to this site and would like a referral to a good LLMD. I had a Lyme test that was negative, but have many Lyme related symptoms. I was camping the end of June, but don't remember a tick bite or rash at site. I have been sick for three weeks consecutively, and one week prior. I had a two week period in between where I felt "normal" after having been on antibiotics-Z pack except during that time I developed a chest rash. I was then put on doxycycline, but didn't see much improvement. I have had headaches, backache, upset stomach/nausea, fatigue, sensitivity to light, pain in my fingers, right knee, neck, and ankles. I just started having sleep problems. Not being able to fall asleep, waking up frequently during the night, and sometimes sleeping 14 hours/day as well as brain fog, trouble pronouncing words at times, short-term memory problelms. I think I need a specialist to confirm or dismiss a diagnosis. Thank you for your help!
