      Sure sounds as though you would benefit from treatment from a Lyme Literate Doctor. It may be that all of your medical issues stem from your Lyme disease. I went for 22+ years before being correctly diagnosed and when I was, it was still difficult to find a doctor to connect all the dots. Getting on long term treatment for Lyme and the co-infections really made the difference in my life.Unfortunately,you can usually only get this through a LLD.Good luck!
