I came into the ER hoping to get treatment for Lyme related symptoms. I have been bitten by ticks before and was wondering maybe I missed one. CDC is outdated and wrong, ticks have been shown to transmit diseases much faster than 24 hours. I was getting joint pains, muscle aches, weakness, clicking joints all over my body, nerve pains and tingles, brain fog, confusion, weakness, etc. I told the doctors this. These are all classic Lyme symptoms. Instead they tested me for COVID and other viruses which came back negative. The doctor said I didn't have Lyme because my neck wasn't stiff. Which is one of my symptoms now a few months later.
Instead I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia (classic), a pain shot, and a nearly $1k bill. I had to wait almost 5 hours.
Now I have chronic symptoms. I still have yet to find a Lyme literate doctor but my life has been hell. I have been taking herbs which have given me positive reactions so I definitely have Lyme or other coinfections.
