It actually resolved itself better than I thought.

My medical practice has an app with an option for free video calls with a doctor or a nurse with a 5 min wait time – she was able to take a look – and yes it does look so much like Lyme disease that there is no point in blood tests.

She sent an antibiotic prescription to my nearby pharmacy right there and then from her app, and it was ready in an hour.

The pharmacist gave me enough free pills to last till Tuesday until I get my insurance sorted.

Yay, 21st century?
