Hey everyone brand new to this sub. About a year ago I started feeling flu like symptoms and don’t think much of it, but after a while I started to worry and got a full blood panel and tested negative for Lyme. Got another panel done a few months later and also tested negative. My symptoms continued to persist (brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, GI issues) until now. I thought it may have been long COVID for a while? It was recently brought up by my new functional medicine doctor that having symptoms like the ones I’ve been having for as long as they have been going on for sounds a lot like Lyme. I’m not going to get an Igenex test to see for sure if I have had Lyme this whole time. I’m skeptical however since I never noticed a bite or any sort of rash/mark on my body, and I don’t have any of the typical symptoms of Lyme like joint pain for example.
Do you guys think it is worth pursuing this test or should I look elsewhere? Any advice on what I should do in my situation please!
