Does lyme disease exist in Philippines or it does but we need to be aware?

I have been experiencing 100% of the symptoms of patients na may Lyme. What bothers me the most is, yung walang awareness ang mga doctors dito. Even nga sa USA na may awareness madalas namimisdiagnose pa. I have been experiencing this for years na rin. Came to the point na ISANG MALAKING ANO NA KAYA TO or BAKIT GANITO ang mga tanong ko sa sarili ko. I am not into basta basta nagpapacheck up but i am experiencing a lot of sickness and issues with my body na di na tama, yung sabay sabay at ang OA na lahat na lang meron ako. Nakakabother super! Until I came across to Lyme Disease. As in if magseself diagnose ako, 100% I have this. I feel so scared at the same time kasi I know di lang ako ang nakakaexperience at baka meron naman talaga dito sa Pinas wala lang enough resources or knowledge ang lahat. Sobrang depressing na siya kasi di ko na malaman what is happening to my body. Super iyak na rin ako kasi i know for myself something is really wrong. i wanna get suggestions and help din sana where to start kasi ayoko na maexperience ang mamisdiagnose. Please, can someone help me.

Wala po sa Pilipinas nung vector na nagdadala ng Lyme disease. Meron ba kayong kagat ng insekto? Ano ano po ang nararamdaman nyong sintomas?

Talaga po ba? Extreme fatigue. Dizziness. Sensitivity. Psychologically din po. I feel helpless na rin po talaga :(
