Good luck to you, Midori! There is a forum here you might check out: Lyme Disease, Shingles and Other Microbial Conditions .

As an aside to lighten the moment...I love a good coincidence. Your name, Midori, is a bright green, LIME colored alcohol. Did you know that? Anyway...Lyme disease...lime colored name...

Come back any time! Let us know how things are going, and if you learn what it is that's affecting you.

ETA: Oh yes, and mrsD's info is good, but please also listen to what your Dr says. And keep bugging the Dr's office to get in earlier! I mean, really bug them. Five months is way too long to wait.
