I was diagnosed with Lyme disease 10 days ago. I was prescribed Penicylin and have seen only a small improvement in the circular rashes on my skin. I have four rashes and they are all circular with a red ring. I am concerned that Lyme Disease was mis diagnosed. Other than the rash I had some joint pain that has since gone away. Any recomendations?

Thank you so much for your advise. I read some of the information and have realized that Penicylin is not the antibiotic of choice. Also, I should be on antibiotics for 30-45 days. I have a call into the Doctor and will probably research for a doctor that specializes in Lyme in the Los Angeles area. Any recomendations?
