We're always trying to guess about my husbands medical issues. Our lLMD isn't helpful. Have an appt with a new one april 4. But I read everyones posts about their joint pain, and foot pain, etc... My husband hasn't had any pain. other than excrutiating headaches, and terrible neck pain. Or neck tireness I guess. Hes only tested negative. Has alot of ALS symptoms. So naturally I'm on a constant worry. Thought it was babs. But now we don't think so. Such a terrible journey.

Check into treating for parasites/worms. Dr. Eva Sapi, a Connecticut researcher has found Filarial worms in over 40% of the ticks she dissected.
I inadvertantly found out i was carrying this co-infection when i started abtiparasitic herbs and salt/c.
Parasites/worms play a MAJOR role in Lyme disease and is often overlooked even by LLMDs. Google parasite symptoms and do a search on here.

I never had joint pain the whole ten years I had lyme. I only had the headaches and stiff, sore neck.
I believe the ones with joint pain get the lyme diagnosis quicker, because that is what the doctors expect us to have. But, not everyone has joint pain by any means.
My top 2 symptoms were extreme muscle weakness and horrendous fatigue. But, no pain.
During lousy lyme treatment my disease progressed and I got horrible dental pain and facial nerve pain, but no joint pain.
Bartonella gave me bouts of extreme abdominal pain that could never be diagnosed by the ER, colonoscopies, etc.
But, never any joint pain.

When I first got sick from lyme, my neck muscles got so tired I felt like I couldn't hold my head up/
