@aeg73- Good morning. I'm so glad that you are seeing a rheumatologist. Have you been given any antibiotics for this? It does sound as if your symptoms are in line with a lot of what I have read about Lyme? I've had the bullseye and I've had just a rash. I've had fevers and aches and pains like I was hit by a truck. All of my treatments have been immediate. There is another group dealing with Tick-borne illnesses. I'm hoping that you might see some light in some of these discussions. Please let me know how your further testing works out.

Thank you Merry. I will click your link and look into it. I think had I suspected Lyme back in 2018 with the rash, I might not be in this situation but I was under the belief as most MD's seem to be, that you have to have a bullseye or tick in hand. I begged for antibiotics back in May practically broke down in tears in MD office and because that first Lyme antibody said negative, they said they can't treat. I've never been on any scripts my entire adult life so to say I've been really frustrated is an understatement but at least it's not cancer or ALS. I originally thought I had ALS or Parkinsons due to the twitches so at least my mind is not in that dark hole presently. Well wishes to you and I'm sorry you have lung cancer.
