Guest guest Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 My son,17 was diagnosed on Aug. 26. He started with pain in his jaw, stiffness in his neck, fever and a rash behind his knee. The blood test was negative but the rash disappeared about 4 days after starting doxycycl 100mg. After a week of taking this he was sick to his stomach so the dr. switched him to amox. for 2 more weeks. Last Tuesday while still on meds he started with the same symptoms all over again. We went to the ER that night as the neck pain was getting worse. They did a spinal tap and ruled out Lyme meningitis. By Thursday afternoon he started with a headache that is worse when he sits or stands and as of today it has not gotten any better. The dr. wants him to see a neuro and I am having a hard time getting him in anytime soon. I am new to this group and would love to know if people have had similar situations as I am thinking this is all still the Lyme disease. I live in Bethlehem, PA and if anyone knows a good place to go for help I would appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
