Lyme from UK Spider bite?

[Caroline369]

Hi, a few years ago I got bit on the leg by what I think was a false white spider. I did not see the spider but the wound looks like others who had this bite. I remember the next few days feeling unwell and flu like. Dr gave 2 weeks of antibotics and it took 3 months to heal and I had to get the necrotic tissue cut away. This past 18 months I have had alot of fatigue, I am able to work walk do house work etc but pushing myself further is a no no as I have poor exercise intolerance and lately I have no motivation to even exercise. Last night my middle finger suddenly just became very painful at the joint and is now very swollen. I also have paid on side of head, throbbing sinus at bridge of nose and tingling on side of face. Don't know if that's connected. So just wondering could I have got lyme from a suspected spider bite? Lyme blood test from GP was fine and 3 thyroid tests fine - I got 2 tests from Medichecks .

I really feel for you Caroline. I hope you don't follow my example with the doctor train I've been on. I had a similar situation as your almost 20 years ago and since then I have become disabled and been passed around from one doctor to another. They just treat me for a while all promising what they never deliver, to get me better. I have become chronically I'll in about five different specialties all due to modern medicine. Medicine is the cause of chronic illness. If they would do more than just slap a bandaid on you, we might not get sick.
