Lyme Disease: Did you have the classic target lesion? This is the confirmation for the disease, but blood work can be done. Ultimately, many things can mimic lyme disease, so seeing a doctor is the best option. If treatment is desired, usually treatment is a 21-day course of doxycycline. I am not endorsing therapy, just giving my thoughts.

Try support group: Look online for a local lyme support group. There you can meet other people who have lyme disease and ask them where they go for treatment. Getting a recommendation fromsomeone who is happy with their health care is best.
