Topic: Seeking LLMD in Connecticut

Hello, I am seeking a LLMD in Connecticut.

I got a tick bite six months ago and went to the doctor for it, I didn't have a bullseye rash but a fairly large rash for the small tick I had.

I had no symptoms from the start

Now, six months later I am starting to get joint pains in my arms. They are there for a few days and then go away, only to come back a little later, and be there for a few days.

I called the doctor and was approved for a lyme test. They called me back saying that I tested negative, then called back a week later saying I tested positive. They prescribed me 200mg of doxycycline a day for 3 weeks.

I am starting my third week of Doxy, and I am still getting the pains in my arms. That is the only symptom of lyme I have gotten. And I had nothing besides the rash near the time of the tick bite.

I am worried I have chronic lyme, or late stage lyme. I would really like to visit an LLMD to get checked out.

Thanks a lot for your time everyone.
