I am a healthy, active person who enjoys the outdoors, wood chopping (heat my house with wood), biking, with 2 teenage daughters. I had a tick in late March. Went to PCP and they concluded it was not the "right kind" of tick for Lyme's disease, even though I had a small red ring around where the tick was attached that lasted for a couple weeks after the tick was removed. A month later, I had an episode of severe muscle and joint pain, neck pain, spine pain, headache, sore throat. I was on vacation, so went to the ER. Lyme test came back negative but they treated me anyway, 28 days doxycycline. I did not quite finish the prescritpion because the antibiotics really upset my stomach. Now, a month since the last attack I have the same symptoms again. My PCP says it could not still be Lyme's, there is no such thing as chronic lyme disease. HELP, I need a Dr. that understands Lyme Disease and can help me. I am in a lot of pain.
