Symptoms?

Lyme disease is an ailment that is brought on by
microscopic organisms (bacteria) transferred into
human bodies by a few infected ticks. In case,
you think that you've been bitten by a tick and
develop any early indications of Lyme disease,
you need to visit a specialist doctor.   Remember,
Lyme disease can be treated however it can bring
about major health issues if you fail to get
proper treatment on time. Many individuals with
Lyme sickness don't know that theyre suffering
from it until their symptoms are developed. You
need to stay aware with the signs and symptoms of
Lyme to get treatment on time.

  • Early Symptoms Of Lyme Disease
  •  
  • Maybe the most popular and understood symptom of
    Lyme illness is a rash that resembles a
    bull's-eye. This rash is also known as erythema
    migrans in scientific world. It happens in around
    75 to 85 of individuals bitten by an infected
    tick.
  •  
  • The skin specifically around the tick bite
    becomes red and a bit raised and resembles an
    ordinary bug bite. The rash regularly spreads in
    a circular design, and it is lighter in the
    inside and darker on the external ring. Although,
    its possible not everybody who gets Lyme
    infection gets this type of rash.

  • Major Symptoms or indications of early stage of
    Lyme illness include
  • Fever
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Muscle aches
  • Joint pain

5
Lyme symptoms can begin at any time after the
bite, but usually the symptoms appear 3 to 30
days after the bite. Confusion about the symptoms
might appear due to the incubation period. Many
people dont remember getting bitten by a tick.
They mistakenly assume they have flu and you may
not connect the tick bite and their symptoms.

  • Advanced Symptoms Of Lyme Disease
  •  
  • A few people with Lyme often encounter some
    other, more advanced symptoms of the sickness.
    Symptoms like severe joint pain, particularly in
    the knees, and a stiff neck may happen in the
    later stages or a few months after your tick
    bite. Serious cases of headaches and migraines
    and extreme pain in your body may keep you awake
    at night. Changes in your heart rate or rhythm,
    dizziness, weak immune system, digestive problems
    are also advanced symptoms of Lyme disease.

It could lead to more serious problems, if you
fail to treat your Lyme disease for several
months. Without treatment, your nervous system
might also get affected. Lyme disease is also
known to cause a neurological complication known
as Bells palsy in which theres loss of muscle
function in your face.   In some cases,
individuals with Bells palsy appear as though
they have suffered a stroke since they lose the
ability to move the muscles on one side of their
face. Development issues, particularly in the
arms and legs, can likewise happen. Problems in
movement can also occur, especially in the arms
and legs. In late-stage Lyme disease,
inflammation in eyes and liver, and heart
problems are usually rare, but can occur.
