"I had symptoms of Lyme disease but not the rash for six months or more. Pain in hip, and knees. I tried my phone in another pocket, new shoes, orthotics and hot and cold packs. Everything worked slight but nothing total and it was getting worse. Then it really started to hit my knees with swelling. That's when I realized it was Lyme. I live in the country and had tick bites many times and nothing. The last one must have had it. I called a medical friend and got a call in Rx for docycycline. The next day after starting all symptoms were gone. 21 days was the time allowed by law. When the doxy was gone all symptoms came back and in a week as bad as before and getting worse. I couldn't get more .because of the law and had learned that in late stage 21 days is not enough and you need 35. I got from Canada but by then was allergic to it and could hardly walk. I finally got erythromycin from overseas that did it in only a couple weeks but by then had slight permanent damage in one knee."
