I have Lyme... be glad you're getting on this immediately! 60 days of doxycycline may well wipe out whatever it is! I ignored all my symptoms for 6 months so I'm a "Life Lymer" no doubt. I failed on doxy so turned to herbal treatment and have kept it under control but I don't think it'll ever be gone. I'm thrilled that you are at the very onset of this!
EVERYONE: Tick-borne disease is flourishing. Check yourself every time you come in the door from the yard, field. If you see a reactive bug bite (I thought mine a spider bite!) don't ignore it. If your doc is not Lyme Literate, insist on a test. Symptoms of various Lyme infections: joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, rapid heartbeat, and even burning itch in hands/feet. Be well. Lyme is nasty! Don't let them tell you it's fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, depression..... insist on being tested. Immediate treatment can wipe it out.
On a better note, Cape Cod is having the second amazing Spring day in a row! I'm off for a walk while DS installs dishwasher.
