Yeah I would ask for lipids panel, check for iron deficiency and vitamin D. If you got insurance, this will be free just make sure you say preventative visit

If it's disrupting your day to day life, you should see a doctor.

And if you were more educated on Lyme disease you would understand that regular doctors think you can get rid of it in two weeks. Guess what I’ve had it and that’s physically not true but per cdc guidelines I should’ve been able to walk. Stop trusting organizations that do give a fuck about you and type A doctors that aren’t willing to work with patients. You are sadly miss informed on the state of the world and how things work. Go do some research on the history of Lyme and chronic illness test

testing and get back to me when you realize mainstream medicine doesn’t treat these things well or take them seriously. And for example my naturopathic doctors have gone through the same schooling as regular doctors and then additional education on top of that. Conventional medicine has a place but regular doctors do not get to the root of issues and mask some symptoms and say you’re all set. Your pissing me the fuck off why don’t you go get some experience before you believe everything that

People tell you. Your close mindedness is what’s wrong with society and why we aren’t as a collective better in all aspects, including health
