I recently received a false negative on my lyme titer.
I have been very sick since December with heart palpitations and many neurological problems including seizures.
I have had the severe headaches and very severe neck pain and full body aches.
My eye sight has been changing and I am always tired and dizzy.
I was being tested for MS and heart disease to come up with nothing.
10 days ago I showed a bulls eye on my leg which has all but disappeared.
My doctor started me with a 20 day course of doxycycline ay 100mg twice a day.
Since my lyme titer was neg she wants to test me again in 3 months, but I am worried I am being under treated this late in the game.
I have been told you can get reoccuring rashes and I have been sick with stage 3 symptoms since December.
Please help me find a specialist since the place in Phillipsburg NJ is no longer accepting patients.
I'd prefer to not go to Philly if I do not have to.
I have been out of work 5 months due to this and I am only just starting to be bouncing back (before the bullseye and antibotics, but have since relapsed).
Thank you so much. Tara
