In October 07 I removed a tick which tested positive for Lyme.
Recieve a Rash appox 6 in in diameter immediately which lasted for 2 weeks.
New primary tested my blood with in 5 weeks of the bite, which came back negative.
First doctor wasn't interested in possibility of Lyme, and said symptoms weren't related.
Exhibited many sypmtoms (Flu at first with fever.
Then Neck & Joint and muscle aches, shooting pains, confusion (got lost driving to work), dizziness,severe headaches, severe exhaustion, sensitivity to light and sound).
Had full battery of blood work and tests as well.
PCP treated me with Dioxicyline(SP?)for 3 weeks based on tick results and symptoms.
Symptoms began to go away after 2.5 weeks. I have been symptom free for 1.5 mos, then symptoms returned.
I feel I should go to a specialist, and I am willing to travel to MA if necessary.
I am located in Southern NH (near Nashua).
PCP is located in MA. Any help to find a specialist in New Hampshire or MA would be amazing.
