Patient stated that she had Lyme Disease and was assured by her primary care provider. She stated she was off antibiotics for a month and then waited a week before she took her vaccine. It had done everything that she normally has with Lyme Disease and put it in stereo and felt Lyme disease symptoms worsened on 03Aug2021, like all the symptoms she got from Lyme disease got cranked up, she suffered with Lyme disease all the time and that the only treatment would be stem cell healing. Patient did not have any issues with her arm. Patient had small arms. She did not know if it was because she was fragile that she felt it so strong. Stated she had not had a care provider in a week and she was due for the second vaccine on 24Aug2021, but she was scared if it was much worse than this one she will not be able to take care of herself.

She stated her doctor did not know what to do and that he was not a Lyme doctor just a primary care doctor. He told her that maybe she should see a Lyme specialist.
