Can you help me with next steps as I'm in great pain?

[GeophffreyHelp]

Hello, I feel very alone.  I've found that the last 9 years of my life have been fraught with issues.  I'm 38 years old, but feel almost dead.   I have a 1.5 year old daughter and want to be, and act like, the best dad In the world.  

Im not really sure what to say and find this slightly embarrassing as I've acted stronger than this for some time.  

I was bitten by a tick in 2009.   Had the bullseye rash with a red line going up my leg.  I went to my PCP and she gave me a couple of weeks of antibiotics.    I think it was doxycycline but I don't remember.

Since then, and honestly I never thought about Lyme until recently when a nurse at Mayo suggested it (but then told me they don't believe in Lyme), I've had the worst stuff happen to me.  

I am in constant joint pain, feel "uneven", nerve pain down my legs and buttock, my fingers and toes hurt, I've had joint nodules removed, a discectomy, brain fog and memory loss, anxiety, insomnia, depression, rapid heart beats, IBS, hospitalization for C-Diff.  I've had elevated ANA levels, but tested negative for everything in rheumatology.   My C-reactive protein and E sedimentation rates have been elevated, but now they are normal.  I think they took the tests when I had a sinus infection.  I have had elevated liver enzymes, AST and ALT, but Uloric, the gout medicine I take (even though I may not have gout) can make this happen.  The list literally goes on and on.  

I've been diagnosed with vague disorders like mixed connective tissue disease, fibromyalgia, IBS, Ezcema, generalized anxiety disorder, gout without elevated Uric acid, degenerative disc disease.   It's all very ridiculous.   Something is going on.  

I took the DNA Connexions test recently and it said I had Ehrliciosis.   I know so little about this that I don't even know if I could have that 8 years later after a tick bite.  I just had my PCP run ELISA and western blot tests.  The tests have not come back.  But, I hear they aren't that accurate.  

This is a long journey that I know many of you have gone through.  If you're able to impart your knowledge and save me the precious weeks and months and years needed to get to where you are at and to get over this, it would mean the world to me and my family.  

I feel for you all as I read these stories.  I thank you for any advice you can impart on where's to go from here, what to do next and if you think I still have Lyme.  I live in Austin TX, where I discovered the bite, but I lived in Massachusetts for 8 years prior to that.  I'm not sure if I've been bitten multiple times or what.
