Could it be Lyme or Cat Scratch bacterias?

Looking for some medical advice and knowledge. I have had some reactive bands show up in my lyme disease testing this year. In March 2017 I had three reactive bands appear (41, 58, 66) and in December 2017 I had four reactive bands appear (41, 45, 58, 66). My symptoms started last year with a swollen lymph node near jaw and random muscle twitches. I received an iron infusion due to anemia shortly after the first symptoms appeared. It seemed the muscle twitching became more severe after the infusion as well as there is a strange sensation in my forearm that feels like there is tape wrapped around my skin.

I have been exposed to a couple of ticks in my lifetime and I did have cat scratch fever as a child. Helping strays was kinda my thing.

I’m currently looking for a Lyme Doctor in my area. An ID doctor dismissed my case before he saw me stating he felt it was an old infection (since this time one more reactive band has appeared).

If you have any advice on this it’s greatly appreciated!!!

You should look into essential oils to treat your symptoms. I cured myself from lyme disease using essential oils it’s way less expensive than antibiotics and better for you. There’s lots of information online. But I would highly suggest using really high-quality oils
such as doterra.
