Have you ever been bit by a tick? Do you know if they tested you for Lyme disease or other bacterial infections from tick bites? Lyme disease symptoms can come and go and will skip around to different joints.

That is a good question, I have considered taking a look if it is Lyme disease. Do you think it is a good idea to go to the doctor's office with a list of things that I might suspect it could be? I feel like the inflammation, pain and neuropsychiatric symptoms could be literally anything to be honest when I take into consideration all the possible causes I can think of and find in databases. To expand, I have never been bit by a tick, I spend very little time in the woods or fields and I have no pets I spend time with. The prednisolone I got now is actually doing wonders although it is not sufficient. Improved mental clarity, less pain, I can finally take a deep breath after many years. This however I just got for a few days to test out, I suppose. It also causes new pain at times so I don't think this would be sustainable.
