Help needed please

I could really do with some help, my son has been really fatigued for the last 8 weeks has this mark on his neck, has seen two doctors both are adamant he has Lymes disease but two blood tests have come back negative, he has been on antibiotics for 6 weeks with little improvement with the mark on his neck or the fatigue, doc seems to have now given up and just given him some cream for his neck which clearly is not going to do anything for how tired he is. He was very active before this happened. I don’t know where to turn, any suggestions and do you think it’s Lymes looking at the Mark? Would really appreciate any advice

Sorry for the late reply just saw your post for the first time. If you suspect Lyme disease and the rash looks like it's very possible then I would take him to a local LLMD. You need at least 2 to 6 weeks of doxycycline to get ahead of it, but as your post is already weeks past my LLMD's always told me 6 weeks. The reason for this is Lyme is cell wall bacteria that only is able to be killed once a month during replication and so you have to keep it with consistency so you can kill it all. Otherwise, it will replicate and double every 30 days. I tell you this not to scare you but to understand the severity and good treatment at the beginning as long-term issues can persist if not treated properly by a LLMD, If you having trouble locating once search the internet. You may have to travel a bit but worth it if you can. If not get on an app and get him seen with a online LLMD. If you need help locating one reach out to me and I will do my best to help you just need your area and insurance if any. Be advised most LLMD's don't take insurance in some states due to the fight against treatment. It's huge political thing which we can talk about later but for now you need to get you son to good doctor and pray and I will pray God gives you a caring LLMD that heals your boy completely. Any questions ask and I will get back to you ASAP. I've been through Lyme for over 22 years with the top doctors available in the world so I have a wealth of info and just here to help in any way I can. I will pray for God to give you strength and guidance to get you through this tough time. Keep your head up God is good.

Depending on which tests he had, the results can be inaccurate with many false negatives, and results can also depend on when the test was done in relation to when he was bitten. People in my country pay for tests to be done at private labs in the USA or Germany, as the tests covered by healthcare in my country are known for being inaccurate. Lyme bacteria are smart and can assume different stages (active or cysts or in biofilm). Antibiotics can actually cause the active form to hide inside biofilm, so that isn't really curing a person; it just makes it harder to treat. I suggest you research altrnative treatment methods that treat the whole person/body. Lyme is often accompanied by other co-infections. One site I have found very helpful (because I just got a Lyme diagnosis this week!) is a clinic in Canada called Ananta Health. There is a lot of free info on the site plus a great video that really explains Lyme clearly. Also, check out the fungal infection called ringworm because this looks sort of similar, and ringworm is super easy to treat with an ointment and has no lasting effects. Good luck!
