I thought that I might have long term Lyme's about two years ago. I had Lyme's back in 2009. Really had me in it's painful grasp. Finally got a script for the stuff they typically prescribe for it(the old brain is just not working that well anymore). Within half a day all the pain subsided. Then around 2013 or so, I had another tick bite. Got a single pill script as a preventative measure. I have experienced a lot of pain since my ski fall in 2016. Had all kinds of meds, SCS, pain pump, etc, to little avail. Now, I was retested about a year and a half ago. As expected, the presumptive test was positive, but the Western blot did not show enough bands to be considered positive for Lyme's. My PCP put me on a fourteen day script of DOXYCYCLINE! (There it is!).

My question is: anyone out there in a similar situation? Had Lyme's maybe onece or twice but never confirmed by bloodwork and still have associated pain? I know I am grasping at straws here, but I don't want to overlook any possibility. Thank you!
