Is it Lyme??

2 years ago, I had an unknown insect bite on my leg, went to a MedExpress was treated with a week of antibiotics. The next few days after the initial bite I had flu like symptoms. Fast forward 2 years, Im having severe foot pain, enough to quit my job as a Vet. Tech after 14 years.  Several MD visits, Podiatrist visits diagnosed with Plantar Faschitits, Post Tibular Tendonitis and Tarsal Tunnel syndrome in both feet, and carpal tunnel in one wrist and bloodwork showed low B12 and high Trigylcerides. Felt better after rest and physical therapy for 3 months. Have been prescribed 600 & 800mg ibuprofen, Naproxen sodium, Medrol, and Meloxicam to no relief. Got a new job middle of January and am 10 x worse. Chronic headaches, shin splints,  exhausted, horrible pain in feet. I just feel terrible every single day, I'm depressed as Im usually a very active person.  Back to MD a week ago, more bloodwork, low Vit D (14) all rheumatoid arthritis tests came back normal, asked to be tested for lyme as I know for a fact from working for a Veterinarian lyme is in our area, (neighbors dog died from it last spring) and the numbers are rising fast.  My Lyme Disease Screen from Quest came back with a result of 1.00 high. SO was automatically sent for Western blot which in turn was negative as only had 1 band reactive, IGG band 41 KD.  So doctor dismissed it as negative and put me on a lowly 1000iu dose of Vit D.  Which in itself is not sufficient.  Im just so frustrated and feel like my doctors do not care about me!! I have convinced myself I may certainly have Lyme disease due to my symptoms however they all mimic Vit D deficiency as well.  I'm not sure whether to pursue the Lyme or not and would appreciate any thoughts you all might have.  I know from the veterinary business, Lyme disease in humans is not as well known as in Vet Med.  2 different worlds. Thank you all in advance!

This does sound too much like Lyme to not get a LLMD. My daughter also had Vitamin D that low. The LLMD gave her 50,000 is for 10 days and then 10,000 for a month to get it caught up. Even with it caught up she still has the painful feet and all the other symptoms. Neurologist also gave her a B12 shot every week because it was low and tried to tell us that's why she was dizzy, weak and had tinnitus. Well got that caught up and symptoms are still there. You can be treated for many symptoms but if it's Lyme, you have to kill what's causing all of them. But getting your vitamins in normal range is a very important part of getting better too.

Hope you feel good again real soon, but please check with a LLMD soon. It really is better to be safe. :)

Thank you all for the information. Will def look Into. Lyme specialist!
