Hi and thank you so much for this query. It would be very difficult to convince your doctor that you have Lyme disease as your symptoms are not suggestive of this. I will however recommend that you get a laboratory testing to have objective information about what the status is. Removing a tick from your dog doesn't suggest Lyme and even if it were removed from your body, not all tick bites transmit Lyme disease. I hope you find this useful. I wish you well. Feel free to request for more information and ask ore questions should need to be. Thanks.
