Thanks for getting back to me, and I will try to be brief.
Lots of experience with Lyme as we live in Lake county CA.
Two daughters, one adopted, both became symptomatic at same time twenty years ago.
Dx Lyme 4-5years later. One doing well. . .one not.
I had tick bite behind my knee seven years ago. Felt pain on a hike, but didn't find engorged tick for five days.
Daughter removed it, tested as a deer tick but lab didn't do any more.
Three day z-pak. Started having sore, swollen joints x1 year...migratory.
Periodic sore throat and slightly swollen glands.
Sleep problems, UTI, balance issues, memory and eye problems(photophobia, floaters, retinal) heart palpitations, tachacardia, TMJ pain, weird rashes that started three years ago(look like acrodermatits) and lately having headaches again that originate maybe in my neck and make my head feel "tight."
HA x5 weeks now. Very sensitive to sound last few weeks.Saw Dr. H a few times, but arthritis so bad I had to see rheumatologist Not getting better.
