As others have said you are your best advocate for docs who don’t take this seriously, and frankly there’s too many of them. I’ve had it a few times and get on Doxycycline for 30-days which my stomach tolerates. If they prescribe less, ask for more - there’s plenty of peer reviewed research. You really need to obliterate it if possible. In my home states of MN/WI we have family tick checks whenever it’s above 50F, we look like a bunch of monkeys but it’s essential. Best of luck to you!
