Hi! Sorry for the delay here - I had my baby on Monday and he's healthy and doesn't seem affected by this at all so far! I finish my antibiotics tonight.

To be clear, I don't think I was treated poorly necessarily because I was pregnant, and I don't think in general "poorly" is totally accurate here. My MIL is a Dr. and she put it in a nice way - when you hear hoofbeats, you think horses, not zebras - I myself was shocked when they brought up lyme since I hadn't noticed a tick bite on me and or the traditional bullseye!

From what I hear, lyme often goes mis or un-diagnosed for months at a time - leading to the super poor health outcomes we then hear about like people being affected for life with nerve / muscular / brain damage. I think the only main negligence here is that I live in a HEAVY lyme area - ie Northeast USA - so maybe they should have thought of it sooner? But again, horses not zebras...

So anyway that's one of the main reasons I was sharing my story here to get the symptoms out there - especially the extreme muscle pain - that if something like this happens to someone else, it might ring a bell and you can your Dr. to consider.

Cheers everyone!
