I hope you feel better and have a speedy recovery.
I got bit about ten years ago on Naushon. I had some horrible symptoms… fever, shingles, and just overall exhausted. My doctor couldn’t figure out what was going on and decided to run a test for Lyme. It came back positive. I was on doxycycline for six months… it was the worst summer of my life. I felt like a vampire every time my skin was exposed to the sun… it felt like my skin was burning off.
I consulted an expert in Boston who told me to stay on the meds for more than a month because the spiral bacterial that causes Lyme can only be killed during the reproduction stage (every 28 days). If you overlap that time frame, you may not get all of the bacteria. I followed his advice. Long periods on antibiotics are not fun, but neither are the long term symptoms of Lyme.
Again this was a decade ago, but you may want to talk to your doctor again.
