Default I think im Lymed!

I have been having these chronic health problems for a while on and off.

I am a 21 year old male from sydney, australia.

The symptoms started 2 years ago and i have never really felt right 100% like i was before.

They are: Joint pains, creaking/cracking of joints/feeling stiff, neurological symptoms, goosebumps down limbs, tingling, numbness, pain, electric shock type feelings through the arms and the back of my head. Trouble walking legs feeling like jelly, muscle weakness, smell/taste loss, eye floaters which look wormlike, feeling hot and cold, night sweats, trouble concentrating, reading, comprehending information, problems with short-term memory, and fatigue. Constant awakening from sleep, heart palpitations and arrithmiyas, feeling like bugs or worms crawling under my skin, itchy skin, neck stiffness.

After i tried using erythromycin for 2 weeks for a seemingly unrelated sinus infection many of these symptoms seemed to start clearing up spontaneously to my surprise and amazement. Subsequently off antibiotics they began to get worse again.

So if antibiotics are helping i'm not going to stop since no doctor has been able to diagnose what is wrong with me which seems to be common with people suffering from Lyme disease.

I was thinking of asking my doctor for a trial of doxycycline for the simple suspicion that this all could be in fact lyme disease and if all my symptoms do further improve than this is what could be going on.

I will try to do a Western Blot analysis if i can.
