I got bit by a very small tick a few months ago. Though his head wasn't still there or anything, the place of the bite became very infected and funny looking. It took weeks for it to heal, which I thought odd because of how small the tick was. When that finally went away, it wasn't long after that that I started getting sick with all these random crazy things (diarrhea, abdominal pain, headaches, severe chest pain/heartburn, dizzy spells, nausea, random weakness, heart palpitations, feeling hot/cold at the same time-getting flush and goosebumps all at once, etc).
My symptoms come and go at random. I had heart problems as a kid, but I've outgrown them--or so I thought. Suddenly my symptoms have come back. Crohn's also runs in my family, but I don't have the right symptoms for that. Is my IBS just getting worse?
The first doctor I went to told me "there's no Lyme's disease in this area," even though I know someone who's daughter just recently had it.
I'm 22/female, by the way..
