Hello,

I think You may suffer from a chronic Lyme disease.
Some patients after treatment with antibiotics have symptoms that last months to years. This condition is called Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (chronic Lyme disease) and can include fatigue, joint and muscle pain. The reason of chronic Lyme disease is unknown.
In my opinion You should contact Your primary care doctor and let him or her check you. Treatment for chronic Lyme disease is often focused on reducing pain and discomfort cause by symptoms like:
low-dose antidepressants,
sleeping pills,
exercise,
stress reduction.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
