I had the same symptoms but no rash, plus sinus infection, and horrible head aches. Then I began to get fatigue and joint pain. Where you have a rash and doctors said bug bite.
I would immediately have test done for lyme. But if it is negative see an LLMD if you get more symptoms. Many times tick bite rashes stay with a person from what I have read on others with lyme.
Test are inaccurate for many, and it is supposed to be treated by symptoms.
You don't have the joint pain. Did you mean blood in your urine? Lyme gets into organs and could cause this. Our doctors are missing this disease frequently. You can have only a few symptoms in the first stage. You also need to be tested for co-infections and have them treat it if you have one. You would have lyme too if you have a co-infection.
You didn't hurt you neck so why would you have pain. TMJ and migrains are something I had for 20 years which may have been undiseminated lyme. But I believe I got reinfected ten years ago when I had a tick on my neck. It was a poppy seed size and I didn't know anything about them.
Doctors refused to run test so I got more and more symptoms and was told it was either a manifestation of my immaginate or Fibro then I was misdiagnosed with Fibro.
I went on to develope chronic lyme where it got into my brain, lungs, and liver.
My doctors where letting me die, until I found compasionate nurse to run test and they were positive for Lyme. It took five years for me to get diagnosed and 7 to get diagnosed with co-infections. Ten years and I am still sick and never had correct treatment. My doctors didn't know how to treat it. I am finally seeing LLMD and getting better treatment.
I am not saying you have it but did you experience any viruses in the past month. Fever, joint pain that went away. It would most likely be lyme if you did. If the above symptoms are the only ones you have It could still be lyme but less likely.
If caught early with correct treatment in the begining you should be ok. But if it is left undiagnosed you will get more symptoms and it will be harder to treat. Four months is already to long. With a rash around the same time and doctors cannot figure out what the rash is from I suspect Lyme. They should have ran test immediately.
firstly you must take notice that nerve pain always travels down, never up.
Has tmj been taken into consideration?
Even though u may feel like ur jaws fine, it may not.
The jaws best friend when its in trouble is the neck and face etc.
