Hello!
I am a 32 year old engineer living in Sweden with a strong interest in outdoor activities. This summer I was bitten by a tick, and since 5 weeks after that I have had more and more Lyme symptoms during the autumn. It started only with headaches that became worse with training and does not improve with headache pills. Later on, I got tingling and burning in face, feet and hands (in that order). During the autumn I have had two positive blood tests (Swedish) for Lyme, but since my spinal tap test was negative back then I did not recieve treatment (Sweden is very careful with antibiotics). I finally got some Doxycyclin, which made me feel almost fully cured within days, but for some reason, perhaps a missed dosage, had a treatment failure after about
two weeks. Since then it only seems to make things worse and I no longer take antibiotics. I need to find a doctor who can combine antibiotics. As far as I know, there are no such doctors in Sweden.
The last week also my back has started to hurt, and with this I have started to feel a bit dizzy and gotten some cognitive issues which scares me. I have recently also got acrodermatitis on both hands.
My symptoms becomes more from week to week, so I urgently need to get in contact with a doctor that can treat me. I think Germany is my best bet, but also other European countries are equally suitable as I anyway would need to fly. I realize that this is a very large area but hope you can still provide me with a few recommended skilled doctors with proven results. I have a strong financial situation and will travel as needed.
Big thanks in advance! Your help means so much!
Jon
