This is the 4th time I have tested positive for Lyme.
Each time I was treated with doxycycline. I was positive in Oct. 2018 and now again. I did remove two tick in November but took a single dose of doxycycline. I am waiting for primary to call in a prescription for me. I am fatigued,have headache and stiffness in my neck. Thank you very much.
