To answer Donna's question, if it is lyme causing the joint pain, yes, the

antibiotics will make you feel better.

Some doctors say give it a 10 day trial; I had lyme with joint pain this

past fall, and my doctor wanted to keep my on antibiotics four weeks after I

felt completely better, and that was five months all told. My joint pain,

which was crippling, is completely gone. My doctor may have treated me more

aggressively than usual b/c this was my fifth bout with lyme.
