Symptoms... Is it Lyme???

Hi, My husband and I were in the woods in late February. 19 Days later he had a red, itchy bump on his scrotum. The next day he had a hot, itchy, hive-like rash that lasted about 10 days. The rash started at the bump and spread outward and cleared up the same way. He had heart palpitations and chills during this time. From that point on he had pain in his knees, elbows (joints..) which came and went, had a sudden onset of floaters which are still there. He still feels pressure in his head also. He is beginning to feel he is losing short term memory... having trouble with organization and sequencing when things took place in a day or week or when conversations have happened. He has lost some sensation when it comes to touch, body temperature, smell, and taste. Insomnia developed shortly after the rash went away... Right now he is on anxiety medication--- although he was not anxious at all until AFTER having the rash and all of the other symptoms. His neck is constantly creaking and cracking. He had a Lyme test done a few weeks ago which had a titer score of .81, our doctor said that was normal... how do you have ANY antibodies at all if you weren't exposed to them at some point??? I really need some help out there-- we continue to grow more and more frustrated every day. Right now we are waiting for the results of another test, they are supposed to be doing a Western blot also. He has been tested (neg.) for MS, lupus, arthritis... this is the only disease that covers all his symptoms--and started with a rash. Did anyone else have a neg. titer score but still have Lyme??? Does anyone else have these symptoms, a negative score and Lyme??? Thank you!!!

Yeah!

MCG141, i can relate to your husband. i was tested at least 5 time and it came back neg. intill i sent it out to Igenex and i got a positive. i had the same symptoms. plus more. i was misdiagnose say about a year and a half. i'm still fighting it. but at least i'm about 90 percent most of the time.
