I was bitten, and had a large, bright red rash show up four days later. I’ve been on doxycycline for a week now and have mild, intermittently joint pain and fever for the last few days. All of my tests including other tick borne illnesses came back negative, but Lyme specifically said that a negative test does not exclude diagnosis when the others didn’t. I only have two weeks of doxycycline and would like at least one more to be safe, but the doctor wants to test Lyme again first. I have no idea what to do, I don’t have that many doctor’s around me to go to.

I have had a few different noise machines in my life, but all pre-recorded sounds with a loop. This new one is a literal fan inside a little machine in my nightstand that can get SO LOUD!! No loops, it covers up most ambient sounds I dislike. It’s a bit pricey, but now I’m not stressed with my brain trying to find the sound loops and clicks. I usually love a box fan or rotating fan, but sometimes I don’t want the breeze. I promise this isn’t an ad, I just am really excited about my new little machine.
