Got bit by a tick

[flamepro2003]

Hi,Do you know what the symptoms of lyme disease are? I got bit by a black legged tick last June and I've been sick since september/october with fatigue,chills,nausea,body aches(flu like symptoms),and sweats. My right ribs are sore(side of bite). I can't hardly move and I've been getting headaches. I was tested back in june(about 12 days after the bite)and the first test was borderline and the second test was negative. It's about 7 months later and I still have a red looking bump. I don't like this feeling. The doctors don't know whats wrong with me,but I know there's something wrong. I just got another blood test done 2 days ago for lyme and waiting for the results. Any advice would be greatly appreciated,thank you! I posted on this website before regarding endometriosis because of the horrible pelvic pain and irregular periods.

Hey everyone I wanted to say a couple of things. 1-I finally got it out and the bump is healing..but I'm still having symptoms and I'm done taking the antibiotics. 2-We're getting rid of the internet and the landline phone. I'm soo sad we're. I will try to get on here when I can to see how everyone's doing and to let everyone know how I am. Tomorrow is when my husbands calling them. I will try to be on here tomorrow. Goodluck everyone!!

He didn't take it out,he said it should come out anytime. I can't believe it's been in me for 7 months and I didn't know,yuck. I tried squeezing it,but it won't come out. My husband took a look at it and he could see it to. It looks like a pimple with black in it,and it really itches.

Hey everyone,my doctor saw my bump today and he said I have an infection,so he prescribed me with clindamycin(4 times a day for 10 days). He did notice that some of the tick is still inside me(ewwww). I had to see it myself,so I got my make-up mirror and saw some black in there. I just wanted to update everyone,talk to you all later,byee!!:)
