Diagnosis of Lyme should be clinical based on symptoms and proximity to ticks. Tests are unreliable due to the fact that they are based not on the presence of the bacteria but to the presence of antibodies. Any doctor withholding treatment based on Lyme tests is doing you a great disservice and putting your welfare at risk.

I could go on and on but please get Meds. You don't want to end up brain damaged like me.
