Hi, I've been struggling for the past 2 months and suspect I may have Lymes. Can anyone recommend a doctor around North Jersey for me? I'm located in Rutherford, NJ.
about 2 months ago, I started having really bad headaches for about 2 weeks and also had fever like symptoms with night sweats but went away really fast. I haven't had those symptoms since, but for the past month and a half I've been having a really stiff neck that cracks with simple movement, pain and tightness in the jaw, random pain in the chest and abdomen, soreness in the ribs, random twitches and muscle soreness, and severe feelings of loss of balance. These symptoms seem to come and go everyday, a different combination of symptoms each day. The only thing that's consistent is that I'm wide awake after 4 hours of sleep. I usually sleep like a bear but for the past month and a half I wake up after 4-5 hours no matter what. Could I have lymes?
I did not notice a rash but I did do some work 2 months ago in a very wooded and grassy area.
Thank you in advance for the input and the recommendation!
BTW, I don't have insurance so I would be paying out of pocket, what would I be looking at cost wise for a diagnosis?
