Bitten by a tick back in June. No rash, so I didn't think anything of it. Feeling lousy, headaches, fatigue etc. Went for yrly physical and discussed the tick bite with my GP. He prescribed 17 days of Dox for precautionary measures.
Since finishing, I have been experiencing dizziness, headaches, fatigue and nausaeu for the last 8 weeks.
Had a sever bout of dizziness which put me in the hospital.
Cat scans negative, cardio - negative, nero - negative, ent - negative. I still have prscriptions for MRI's and more tests all non lyme related.
I had my GP run another blood test for lyme - western blot,all negative.
Bumped into to many people with similar symptoms which after exhaustive testing found it it was lyme.
I know I was bittne since I pulled the bug out of me.
Think I should have a meeting with either an infectous desease or LLMD?

If you tested early, it won't show up...and the regular labs won't catch it most of the time.
I'll send you some info on drs.
Go to Medical Questions and repost there so others can offer their advice.
welcome!
