Muscle And Joint Pain. Blood Test Shows Hashimoto's Disease. Should Antibiotics Be Taken For A Month?

Hi! I have been experiencing extreme muscle and joint aches and pains since December. Previous to this I was the poster girl for perfect health, having never been ill for 63 years (really). I suspect Lyme as I am an avid outdoors woman that travels in those areas rife with ticks. However, the Igenix testing is out of the pocket prohibitive. I am wondering if I should just go on a month long antibiotic run. Nothing shows up in the blood work other than my mother's little genetic gift of Hashimoto's (just in the past month).
