I've been dealing with swollen ankles and joint pain since the last day of August. The joint pain started in my ankles, moved to my knees, then my hips, and now it is in my shoulders, neck, elbows, wrists, and fingers. About 10 days ago I started getting fevers at night, along with some terrible sweats that were so bad they soaked my shirt, my pillow, and the sheets. Two nights ago I didn't have them, but I had them last night. I've gone to 4 doctors, had blood drawn 4 times, and all the results came back negative for everything, including 2 lyme tests. The result of a third lyme test will not be available until next week, but my infectious disease doctor finally decided that we should start with an antibiotic for lyme and he gave me a prescription yesterday for it and I started taking it last night. I also slept about 16+ hours yesterday and fee rather decent today, but am about to take a nap right now. I have another doctor appointment tomorrow and then another one on October 12th if whatever this is doesn't start to subside.

The thing that sucks about this medication I am on is that I cannot be out in the sun because it causes me to burn easily. I'm just hoping that I will be well enough to be in the woods come gun season so I can repay the deer if this turns out to be lyme.
