I got lyme when i lived in Nj about 6 yrs ago and took 2 wks atibiotics. I have been struggling for the last 4 yrs with nuerological problems, testicular pain, and joint pains come and go with no seeming regularity. been tested many times again and all negative. I'm convinced I have chronic Lyme and need to find a doctor who takes it seriously in AZ.

I tested posotive for lyme when i was 17 in new jersey.
I was prescribed 1 month of antibiiotics and being 17 and ignorant, only took 2 wks of them before becoming lackadsicle about it.
Everything seemed fine until about 4 yrs ago when i started getting a host of odd symptoms,
anxiety, cognitive dysfunction, roaming joint pains, testicular pain, all coming in bouts every 1-2 months.
I got every test from spinal taps to mris to ultrasounds, etc.. To no end.
I was diagnosed with Anxiety with panic attacks and put on paxil .
I struggled for 2 yrs. with the paxil and have recently quit it off for 2 mnths now.
My symptoms still resurface every couple months and the nuerological problems sre a daily struggle.
I am convinced i have chronic lyme and am having trouble positively id'ing it with western blots and elisa.
Need a doc who is serious about finding what is wrong and treating it
any suggestions and does it sound like lyme to anyone else who has it similar to my case and has been posotively verified as having it?
