Over the past month I've been feeling tired, and worn. Then about 2 weeks ago I started having sever joint pains. My wrists, elbow, knees and ankle were the worst. I was tired and felt broke. My doctor found that I had a sinus infection so he gave me antibiotic and said that if I didn't feel better in a couple of days he would test my blood for lyme and RA. That was the first I ever thought about Lyme Disease, so I started reading. Almost every symptom match except for the rash, I never noticed one. Since I first went to the doc on Wed and wanted to give the AntiB's a chance to work I did not get blood work until Monday. 5 days after I started taking the AntiBs. The blood work came back Negative. Could the AntiB's have caused a false Neg.? The doc wanted to put me on Anti Depressants, I said NO, the pain is real not in my head, though at times it is making me feel crazy. So he is sending me a Rheumatologist. It may be something else, It's just that everything I read on sites like this describes what I am going through. I'm 37 years old, too young to feel the what that I am feeling.

Thank you to all of you on this site, You are giving me hope that I will find an answer and that I am not crazy

I totally agree with Jamie --- def. send your test to Igenex! It's worth the money.

If you do have Lyme, my best advice is to research the heck out of this disease and be one step ahead of your doctor. You have to be educated in Lyme to really beat it! Most doctors don't know jack squat about it. Sad but true.
