Hi, I am a 77year old male, and I am concerned about to possibility of having lyme disease. What compounds the issue is that I have had rhumatoid arthritis in the past and have arthritis in my left ankle now.
I feel tired, knees , ankles and hips ache. My gluteus maximus on both sides ache.
We have ticks in the area, have taken them from our cat, took one off my wife and two off myself-one on my stomach
and one in my hair during a shower. All were the larger variety not the tiny ones. Have not found a bullseye.
Both of my ticks were 3 weeks ago. I am undergoing cardiac rehab and my wife radiation.
