Assess for Lyme: It is possible your husband contracted Lyme disease, and possible he has not. It is concerning if he has a fever, tiredness and is achey. Lyme is readily curable if treated promptly and may become chronic if not treated soon enough. Lyme specialists advise Doxycycline 200 mg 2x/day for 1 month. It may be difficult to find a "Lyme-literate" Dr. in your area. See http://tinyurl.com/yd66wnvo
