Brief Answer:
consult with neurologist with lab reports....require further evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and here is my advice.
As per your history, as you have consulted with physician and looks symptoms of Lyme disease. Please let me know lab details that you had done?
There are several causes that looks like lyme disease which should be further evaluated.
As per your symptoms(got from previous questions) and not getting relief, I would suggest you to consult with Neurologist with your lab reports for detailed medical examination in view of stiff neck. He may procure lumbar puncture to rule out meningitis. You may also require blood culture sensitivity(if not done earlier) as per evaluation. Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying diagnosis.
Meanwhile, continue tablet doxycycline. In case of fever, you can take tablet acetaminophen. Keep yourself hydrated and take balanced diet.
