Lyme question

History:
Roughly 12 months ago I was bitten by a tick. Live in NJ. No rash. Started feeling lousy. Headaches, lite eased, fatigue etc. Went ti doc, tested negative for Lyme. about a week in had a dizziness attack. Was rushed to hospital. Had numerous tests. ENT, cardio, neoro, and Lyme tests. All were negative.

At my urging, since I know I was bitten, doc treated me for Lyme with antibiotics. Weeks went by and only slight improvement. Treated again fir 30 days even though I tested negative.

During the 2 month period, my blood pressure was high. Started HB pressure medicine and started feeling better. That was doubly September last year.

Winter was basically ok.

about three weeks ago, I had another dizziness attack and have been feeling lousy since. Liteheaded, headaches, foggy, tired.

Went back thendoc and he ordered an MRI. All negative.

Back ti square one. Could it be sinuses as I have always had some issues with my sinuses. Doc tells me the sinuses are not infected.

Any input. Should I start with llmd locally. Allergy specialists, ENT again.

Starting to effect my job and mood.

Don't really know where to start next to get answers.

Hi Kovy,

Sorry you are not feeling well. I agree with Tala3 that you need to see an LLMD. It sounds as if you were not treated thoroughly enough. Most lyme-literate doctors treat for some time after the symptoms are gone. It sounds like you didn't even get there.

As Tala says, there are many co-infections as well as other diseases than lyme carried by ticks.

Let us know how things go.

Kovy, I took the name of the doctor out of your post. We don't mention the doctor's full names to avoid any persecution or scrutiny they might come under.

I think I will re-post your request on a separate thread so it gets more notice.
