The symptoms of Lyme disease may vary from person to person

 

A red, raised, round circular rash often followed by joint and muscle aches is the most common symptom. About eighty to 90 percent of patients who develop this rash develop the early stage of the disease, usually between a week and two months after the tick bite. Other common symptoms are severe muscle pain or weakness, a loss of appetite, depression, fever, and malaise.

 

The symptoms of this disease are also different depending on the type of tick that has bitten you. If you have contracted Lyme disease from a tick, you will be treated differently than if you have acquired it from another disease. It can be treated with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and antifungal medications. Depending on how much you have been bitten by the tick, your doctor may need more of an aggressive treatment.

 

As mentioned before, this disease is not caused by any type of virus, bacteria, or fungus. In fact, it is transmitted through the bite of a tick. The tick bites the skin, where it then injects its saliva into the skin, where the virus replicates and spreads into the body.

 

People with Lyme disease often report experiencing muscle weakness or fatigue. You may also suffer from depression, insomnia, muscle pain, and joint pain.

 

Your immune system may be compromised, causing your body to produce less antibodies that fight off any infection. This is why your doctor will perform a blood test to determine whether or not you have been exposed to the infection.

 

There are many treatments for this disease, but they do not all work for everyone. Most doctors recommend that you follow a strict treatment plan in order to fully recover from this disease. It is best to talk with your doctor about any other alternative treatments or cures that may help you deal with the pain, and discomforts associated with this illness.

 

Lyme disease is very common in the United States, so you may be able to see a doctor very quickly if you experience the symptoms described above. The sooner you visit a doctor, the faster you will be able to recover from this condition.

 

The symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses, so it is important to note them and be sure to notify your doctor immediately if you experience them. If you experience joint pain, it may be a sign that something else is wrong. If you notice a fever, chills, or body ache, you should see your doctor right away.

 

Because this disease is spread by a tick, you should clean all clothing that you will be wearing in the presence of the tick. It is important that you keep your clothing as clean as possible in order to prevent the tick from entering your body and spreading the disease.

 

If you suffer from chronic arthritis, you may also develop arthritis from the Lyme disease. However, this disease cannot cause arthritis. Your body has a natural defense against this type of arthritis, so you may need to take prescription medications if your symptoms persist for over four weeks. After four weeks, you may want to see a doctor to discuss other options for arthritis relief.

 

If your symptoms worsen or become severe, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. A flare up of the condition could require hospitalization, depending on the severity.

 

For people suffering from arthritis, there are many long term treatments available for pain and discomfort. Many people choose to get rid of the pain naturally, by consuming supplements, or applying oils or herbal supplements to their skin.

 

People with Lyme disease should take care to keep their clothing as clean and dry as possible. Wearing loose fitting clothes is the best way to avoid spreading this condition to others.
