Does this sound like lyme?

I am a 20 y/o male, whose been having health problems for 3 years. I have muscle swelling (inflammation), muscle twitching, brain fog, swallowing difficulties, balance problems, and fatigue. I don't ever remember having the characteristic bullseye rash. I've been tested for everything under the sun including Lymes (Though I'm not sure how accurate the tests in Canada are). I'm really not sure what is going on, But I was hoping someone who has been through something similar can maybe help. Thanks

HI,
Yes all those symptoms could be lyme or other tick borne diseases. I definitely think you should try to see a reliable lyme aware doctor to help find out if that is what you reall yhave.

Canada's health system takes a completely sceptical stance towards lyme disease - many doctors swear it only exists in the USA not in Canada! (DO the ticks carry passports and get intercepted at border controls???)

Go to this website and email them for a lost of proper lyme doctors near you:
www.ilads.org
You'll also be able to read up a lot on lyme generally on that website.
