There is a physician who apparently is curing lyme patients and he sells natural formulas on his website. He's the author of "Beating Lyme Disease: Using Alternative Medicine and God-Designed Living". His name is Dr. David Jernigan. If you would like his website address, let me know. His resume is quite impressive and I'm on his treatment for CFS and having success.

There is a section Seeking a Doctor, and you can ask for someone in your area.
IMO, all your symptoms seem to point to lyme. As for your LabCorp test results, it's just not a very reliable test. But then no tests are 100% reliable. Doctors who understand lyme take your symptoms along with test results and come to a conclusion, and again you sure have lots of symptoms.
Best of luck to you, and hopefully you will find a good lyme literate doctor.
