I had an accident in 97 that resulted in a nerve disorder called RSD. However, the myriad of symptoms I began developing years later could not all be contributed to the RSD. I've been to so many Dr's for seperate symptoms. They always seemed unrelated to each other until now.
Without remembering a tick bite Could these symptoms be Lyme?

Extreme muscle pain,feels like whole body is bruised, flares of hypersensitivity from neck down(can barely be touched at all, even clothing),low back pain, upper back pain(pain is constant,hard to sit back),

joint pain,joints in fingers/knuckles swollen in a.m, shoulder and neck pain, constant stiff neck, tingling in hand and feet, headaches almost daily, migraines that last 3-4 days & don't respond to migraine meds.,

chest pain in sternum, chest pain with deep breaths, sore spots on ribs, carpal tunnel right wrist, dequrvains left wrist, need for deep breaths, sore throats often, ear pain/aches often, chronic cough, nasuea constant low grade fevers(past 3yrs),

concentration problems, problems thinking, difficulty speaking finding words, memory problems,face & chest flushes looks sunburn all the time, outside of elbow becomes red everyday, trouble falling asleep, can't stay asleep once asleep, loss of libido,
hypothriod,hashimotos,lack of motivation

if this could be Lyme How do I start? Some very kind people on here gave me the name of a Dr in FL that is supposed to be very good. There were some other Dr's on the list closer to me but they didn't have any patient reviews like Dr. C did. I really appreciate the help.
Thanks Lisa

Yes, many have Lyme and no recollection of a tick bite. Start by going to see an LLMD for evaluation.
