George, it is presumptive so far. Will get results but the tests for Lyme are not very good, as you know, and there are many false negatives. Found lump and rash up high in crotch. No one home, so sat bare assed on bathroom floor in front of wife's make up mirror, armed with tweezers. How's that for a mental picture.... Excision was less than textbook. But connecting the dots with multiple symptoms, my doc and I are coming to the same conclusion. Aches, lethargy, one or two nights of sweats,mental fog at work as opposed to a headache. When I told him that I had only spent a total of four hours on the boat this season, that really got his attention.

On the upside, it would really suck it those symptoms were only from getting old..... There are no meds for that.

And I could have gotten it up here on a jobsite or my yard as easily as Cuttyhunk. Will never know.

Actually, Ross, the tests are very good, just not during the early stage of the disease. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5176185/)

Not an issue for you since early treatment is warranted based on history and symptoms.
