Please be careful: many people have opinions on Lyme that are incorrect. This is a very complex disease, and the Lyme world ( & other tick borne diseases, like Bartonella, Babesia, etc) has been inundated with falsehoods AND politicized by doctors and medical factions --years before COVID. It sounds like you definitely have it, and I would urge you to see a Lyme doctor, not infectious disease or etc. Look up "The Lyme Times" and "Project Lyme"--- two newsletter sources of info. Most patients who have one "Lyme" category disease usually are diagnosed with more-- a tick bite can be the equivalent of introducing a sewer system into your body. Do your body a huge favor and find a treating Lyme physician! I have been dealing with Bartonella, Babesia( a parasite from same tick) and Lyme for over ten years ( my son) and the road can be very tough. Don't waste years chasing false leads: get a Lyme Doctor. ( ILADS is a great source of info.)
