Can you tell me what some Lyme Disease symptoms are?

Answer 1

One sign of Lyme disease is a round, red rash that spreads at the site of a tick bite. This rash can get very large.

Flu-like symptoms are also very common. People in the early stages of Lyme disease may feel very tired and have headaches, sore muscles and joints, and a fever.

These symptoms can start at any time, from 3 days up to a month after you have been bitten. Some people don't have any symptoms when they are in the early stages of Lyme disease. And they may not even remember getting a tick bite.

If Lyme disease goes untreated, you can have more serious symptoms over time. These include:

• Swelling and joint pain (like Arthritis).
• Tingling and numbness in your hands, feet, and back.
• A lack of energy that does not get better.
• Trouble focusing your thoughts.
• Poor memory.
• Weakness or paralysis in your face muscles

What are the symptoms of Lyme disease?

• You might feel as if you have the flu--relatively high fever, headache, joints that ache but unlike any flu you might have had before and even after a week you don't feel better.
• If you're lucky, a bullseye or many bullseye (red round rash with a center eye) appear on your skin. You may or may not have known you had a tick bite, but it generally appears at the site of the bite.
• At this point, a doctor must be consulted so that blood can be drawn to run a Lyme disease test called a Lyme titer and you can be started on a course of antibiotics.
• Since the titer doesn't immediately show the Lyme infection, your doctor may need to repeat this test days later.

Note: It is called Lyme disease because the first cases were identified in Lyme, CT.

• The symptoms often begin with Back pain, typically between the shoulder blades and in the neck like a slipped disc. The pain worsens at night.
• Distorted feelings around the area of the bite. The nerves become numb, especially in the face. This may occur at any time up to four weeks after the pain began.

Sometimes neuro borrelia may present itself as meningitis, with fever, headache and stiffness in the neck.

In rare cases, the disease may become chronic, with a slowly developing destruction of the nervous system, numbing, partial hearing impairment and the development of dementia.

• Neuro borrelia demands immediate treatment, usually with an admission to hospital.

Answer 6

Lyme disease is a type of bacterial infection that occurs after a person is bitten by a tick. After the tick attaches itself to the person's body, the infection begins to spread throughout the blood stream. Walking in tall grass, having a pet that is infested with ticks and performing outside activities are some of the risk factors for Lyme disease.

What are some of the signs of Lyme disease?

A person who is infected with Lyme disease will usually notice the symptoms within a few weeks. The symptoms of this condition can closely mimic those of the flu. Body itching, fever, chills, headache and muscle stiffness are just a few of the symptoms associated with Lyme disease.

The symptoms will continue to get worse if this condition is left untreated. It is important to note that there are three stages of Lyme disease. Facial paralysis, heart palpitations and muscle pain are some symptoms of stage 2 Lyme disease. Nerve damage, muscle weakness and vision problems are some of the symptoms of stage 3 Lyme disease. The effects of stage 3 Lyme disease can be long-term.

How can Lyme disease be treated?

Antibiotics are the standard treatment for Lyme disease. These medications work by destroying the bacterial infection. An infected person can begin taking antibiotics 72 hours after the tick is removed. People usually take the antibiotics anywhere from two to four weeks. Patients who have muscle stiffness and pain may be prescribed a pain medication, such as ibuprofen or Tylenol.

Can Lyme disease be prevented?

Avoiding contact with Ticks is the only way that Lyme disease can be prevented. This can be hard to do, so people who will be spending time in wooded areas need to make sure that they wear tick repellent. People who do come in contact with ticks should remove the tick right away and wash the area with soap and water.
