Your symptoms do sound a lot like lyme to me. They are a lot of the same symptoms I had. You can get more information about all areas of lyme on www.lymenet.org
Your doctor may not want to do blood work for lyme. Most don't or won't. If he won't do the test, you could get on the lymenet site and ask for help to locate a doctor in your area (lyme literate doctors are few and far between). A lyme-literate doctor will usually treat based on clinical symptoms of the disease and if your history of problems indicates lyme. The lab your doctor uses for testing is critical. Igenex is the most-preferred lab for lyme testing but non-lyme literate doctors don't use it. Igenex tests more bands and are more accurate, so the false negative results are less. The test results are only about 70% accurate at best anyway, I think. Some people use Bowen lab. They use a different method of testing, but are not FDA approved, so insurance most likely won't cover the cost. They have recenly received a patent for their test though. Bowen also tests for co-infections that occur with lyme. Best of luck tomorrow at your appointment!
