Should I get tested for Lyme Disease?

A few of my joints started aching recently and I was bit by a tick about 3 weeks ago. For some reason my doctor didn’t want to do a test for Lyme Disease but she wasn’t sure. Is there any reason not to get tested?
(One of my symptoms is that every morning when I wake up, the knuckles of my right hand ache.)

Thanks!

My husband was just diagnosed with lyme disease. He is almost 100% bedridden with excessive fatigue, aching, swollen glands, and 102 fever. How long will it take for him to see improvement enough to function again. I know it will take around 1-2 weeks to feel 100% improvement, but I was wondering how long until he’s feeling well enough to not be miserable? Thanks.

How likely is a tick to have lyme disease?

I went into the woods behind my house and there is long grass before you get to the path part. So when I sat down to draw I found three crawling up my legs and another when I got up. By the time I left I had picked at least 8 off of me. None of them bit me but I’m paranoid that I missed one and its crawling around my room. I have one friend who got lyme disease and I know that I don’t want it.
