I have reason to believe I may have been exposed to Lyme while living in the Hudson Valley, NY. This was about 3 years ago. At the time, I had what I thought was the flu. I got over it in a couple of weeks and soon forgot about it.
Over the past year, I have had increasing pain in my major joints - shoulders, hips, knees, back, particularly on my left side. I've also had unexplained black spots in my vision.
I never saw a bullseye when I got sick the first time, and I don't know that I have Lyme, but I need a doctor who will seriously consider the possibility and help me find out what is going on in my body. I live in Columbia, SC, and I could really use some direction.
Any advice you may have is more than welcome. Thank you in advance.
