Hi,

All the symptoms that you have mentioned are of Lyme disease.

You have already been diagnosed with lye disease & if the oral medications are not working you need to report to the treating doctor, you may need intravenous antibiotics.

Take Ibuprofen/ acetaminophen for joint pains & if it continues you need to be treated for RA & get CBC done for RA, Gout.

Don't neglect or it may complicate meningitis or neuritis. Take multivitamin supplements, do regular exercises. take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
