I don t know if I ve been bitten by a tick, but I do live in the northeast, have two dogs and lots of fields. over the past few months I ve been extremely tired, have a slight cough and shortness of breath and little by little all my joints are getting stiff. I m 62, and overweight so I ve been attributing my symptoms to weight but the stiffness in my joints is getting worse and I am concerned about lyme.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to rheumatoid arthritis. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day for the joint stiffness.
I also suggest to use cool compresses for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
