I am now continuing my 3 doxy, 100 mg/day for the ECM. I found this terrific summary by Burrascano of Lyme disease:

In my opinion, EVERYONE with exposure or with "possible" lyme would greatly benefit by reading this summary carefully.
Thank you for the site reference. Very beneficial. I will look it over in detail.
Hi,
How are you? Are there other signs or symptoms present? Some of the diseases you can get from a tick bite are Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia. Tick-borne disease may first present with flu symptoms, such as a fever, chills and body aches. You may also have a rash. Most tick-borne diseases can be treated with antibiotics. It would be best to have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management. This link may be helpful:

Take care and keep us posted.
My opinion, after being infected with Lyme Disease and recently have an ECM from a tick bite. It is hard to find a doctor that knows the symptoms of Borellea bergdorfii, but it is very serious. Look for Lyme Forums on this site and look for online information in a hurry. Again, this is just my opinion.
More...I "believe", but I am not a doctor (a disclaimer), you have early stage Lyme and the sooner you get antibiotics the better. I could not walk for a year after a year of not knowing what I had. Literature and my opinion states that ANYTIME you have an ECM you have a Borellea infection! The "tests" are NOT accurate, there are MANY false negatives!!! I cured myself after ten years of the antibiotics...long, long story.
The best to you.
