Hi: I am new here. 49 year old female bitten about 4 to 6 weeks ago. Still have rash. It is round with small pimples around it. My primary doctor nurse practitioner did western blot...came back negative, she said you are o.k.! First symptom pink eye, not going away, second migraine and nausea throwing up for two days. Went to urgent care doctor he prescribed 100 mg. Doxy 2 times a day for two weeks. I am interested in continuing antibiotic treatment as I read that you need more than two weeks of antibiotics to kick this. Does anyone know any good Lyme doctors in Northern Virginia?
Thanks
