Look into ozone therapy and ozone blood treatments..there’s a specialist treatment centre based in Halifax and Shrewsbury “the health bunker” the owner (Dom) has had and treated many lymes sufferers with good results,not cheap but They would be my goto clinic if I was ever diagnosed.
Pzifer started phase 3 trials (final stage) last month on a vaccine. Though probably won't get approved before 2025.

Why would did they give you antibiotics, if your bloodtest is negative? That sounds a bit odd. Did you get doxycycline?
Dont listen to them.. theyre idiots, they keep trying to tell me I have Diabetes 2. even though my Hba1c is 38!! I dont know anything about Lymes Disease apart from the fact I dont want it, but dont let them push you around. Its Your Health NOT theirs. Two expressions I use frequently with them - I WANT and NO. Good Luck to you.

Here in Norway they say that blood tests are only about 50% reliable. Even so, that is what is used. However, if you do test positive with a blood test, they send you to the hospital for a proper spinal test that are a lot more reliable. Have done that myself even though the blood test was negative, but my GP said that all the right symptoms (even a red bulls eye rash) were there, and just to be on the safe side he requested a spinal fluid test. Fortunately the test came out with a negative result, and other symptoms disappeared after some 5 or 6 weeks.
If at all possible you should ask the GP to request a spinal fluid test.
I have had East African tick bite fever twice, which is no fun at all, but nothing compared to long term Lymes from what I have seen. East African is (usually) easily cured with antibiotics.
Wish you all the best, and hope you recover soon !

I discovered a tick in a "difficult to access personal area"
I had to go to the hospital to have it removed...very embarrassing!
I came away with a prescription for antibiotics and no tick.
I had had this little hitch hiker for a day or so, and not noticed, it was fully engorged by the time it was noticed.
I must say, it was amazing treatment. No waiting for a bullseye rash before they decided to treat me.
I'm very thankful.

That is how the correct way of how it should be treated. I was in the hospital again this week after years of having Lyme and still not healthy.
Hi Tony, i have good days and bad days and by good i mean i can get up and do something not much . i have loads of symptoms . My main symptoms just now are joint and muscle ache .tinging and pins and needles .freqent ocular migraines ,very bad tinnitus .brain fog and cognitive problems .i have others but these are the worst now . Thank you for asking hope you are well .
I know a lot of those symptoms. I had a very bad left foot too, it had a rush, was very thick and i couldn't walk long. I now am seeing a doctor that is specialized in Lyme, waiting for results of blood and urine tests. Last december i got diagnosed with lyme and got a prescription for 4 weeks of Doxycycline. But still not recovered.
