I might have Lyme Disease

I got bloodwork the other day and haven't gotten test results back yet, please pray I don't have Lyme, which I probably do. And I don't go to the doctor because of an intense phobia of needles, so I could have had Lyme for a few years now because of that.

Lyme is a disease that comes from ticks, sometimes it's mild and sometimes it's really bad. You can Google it.
Okay now to answer Shooraijin's question. I get pains in my legs, especially in my upper left thigh and sometimes my elbows get stiff. Let's see, I'm also fatigued most of the time (which may come from my insomnia). I just generally don't feel well.

(Oh, I so understand. I had lyme several times when I was living in New Jersey... My favorite play place happened to be a breeding ground for ticks. >.< I had it in... my neck, shoulder, and hip (not all at once, thankfully). At one point I couldn't lie down, or walk. It was terrible. I'll pray.)

That doesn't necessarily mean Lyme, however. Lyme titres make sense to check, but Lyme disease is not the only cause of arthralgia.
I do hope they are able to find the cause.

Alright, I'm done being a mother hen. But I will definitely pray for you.

You'll know for sure if it's Lyme disease if you have the so-called bullseye rash at the bitten area. Dark red in the center, and lighter red rings around it.

I did go to the doctor, lol...remember, I said I got bloodwork done.
Anyway, the results are back, and...I'm clear! I don't exercise at all (unless I'm in the woods), so that might be why I'm feeling weird. Yet somehow I'm very thin...o_O
