Hello,
My mother was bitten by a tick and a week later her doctor diagnosed her with lyme disease. Her blood test came out negative. She was given doxycycline to take for 22 days, with 2 more days left in her course.
She has flu-like symptoms, chills, slight fever, a stiff neck, and pain in her back, shoulder and arms. Her symptoms went away after 1 week on doxycycline, but then after a few days they came back and have been back ever since.
Has anyone experienced these symptoms and know of the best way to treat it? She has another doctor appointment in a few days, but she wants input from other people as well. Will the symptoms go away? Any homebrew methods that can help? Any advice at all?
Thanks.
