Hi! I've discovered two ticks on me over the last 18 months. Been experiencing a strange group of symptoms including muscle pain, joint pain, tingling/numbness and feel it might be Lyme. Tested negative at my PCP, but I'd like to find a doctor who would do a more thorough set of tests. A few options would be great. Fairfax/Reston/Centreville/McLean/Vienna Virginia and surrounding areas.
