I’ve started myself on a Z pack antibiotic, ivermectin, and hydroxychloroquine (stuff I’ve bought over the past year for when the SHTF). I’m also taking zinc with quercetin and vitamin C. My head is pounding and I’ve got a fever since Wednesday that I can get under 100 with the help of round the clock ibuprofen and Tylenol. Without that it shoots up to over 102. My joints ache. Tons of fatigue. The scary part is I just started with some shortness of breath. I’m a 56 yo female. I found four ticks on me last week after walking a property with a client (I’m a realtor). I thought I’d start feeling better by now. Any other suggestions on what I should be doing? I’ve been to doctors lately with my daughter and they all seem still so stupid about covid, pushing vax and masks. I had covid back in December so I can see them thinking this is what I have. I will refuse a test but last time I did that when I took my daughter in for a mono test they would not proceed until they tested her. We left without a test. I’m not vaxed. Thank you everyone. Prayers appreciated.
Is there a doctor in the house? I think I have Lymes disease but I’m afraid to see a doctor.

Not a doctor.
Your symptoms are consistent with the flu. In the absence of a rash at the tick site I'd assume it was the flu.
If you still have the ticks you can get them tested.
I've read that getting them off you immediately dramatically reduces the risk of Lyme. It's the ones you don't find for days that get embedded that are dangerous.
Also, not all breeds of tick carry Lyme.
