Honestly, I don't remember getting bitten by a tick either, but mosquitoes spread bacteria too.
If you're living in Washington, D.C., you can get testing done via a referral at Fran Mihaljević.
Otherwise, just go private at Quest Diagnostics or fly over to Germany.
Use the referral your doctor gives you first to cover all the basics. If they still can't find anything, then start looking into this.
Do some Googling on Lyme disease symptoms to see if they match.
Out of nowhere, my neck started killing me. Then it hit my shoulders, then this weird tingling sensation all over my body. Now my knees are aching, but the worst part is the pain in my shins and forearms. It’s relentless. And get this—absolutely zero painkillers are doing a damn thing to stop it. One minute the pain is driving me insane, the next it’s manageable, then it just disappears for no reason at all. It makes no sense.
If all your other labs look clean, go get tested for Borrelia. Did a tick bite you recently, or is this just a general thing?
I went through the exact same thing you're dealing with. I did every single test imaginable, even an MRI of my entire spine, and the doctors kept telling me I was perfectly healthy while the pain just kept getting worse.
I pushed for it myself and finally got tested for Borrelia—the results came back screaming positive (I had my bloodwork sent over to Germany).
The infectious disease specialists here in the States don't recognize chronic Lyme disease, so I'm still stuck without any actual treatment, but at least now I know what's actually happening to me.
I really hope it turns out to be something else for you, but seriously, stop guessing and go get tested.😉
