Question 1

my daughter has lyme disease,,her muscles in her legs hurt bad...like shes worked out,,,shes been workn long hours and look tired?

Accepted Answer

Lymes: Well the first question is when was she diagnosed and did she get treatment right away?  Sounds to me she has the lymes for a while and perhaps did not get immediate treatment so now she is getting the flare ups. You need for her to see a doctor for treatment right away. This is a progressive disease and she can gave some serious affects without medical attention

Question 2

i was bit by a tick pulled all out and has left a mark for a month? my back and arm muscles are aching but i do not have a bull's eye. lyme disease ?

Accepted Answer

Tick bite and aches: You should definitely see your physician as you may have lymes or other disease without a rash.  You still can be treated.  See your doctor as soon as possible.

Question 3

i think i have lyme disease. i've had symptoms that have been getting worse over months ranging from shortness of breath, muscle pain, and red eyes.

Accepted Answer

Lyme disease: Common symptoms are fatigue, joint pain, headache and fever. It does not sound like you have lyme disease.

Question 4

had possible tick bite. after 3 days a bit of nausea en slight abdominal discomfort. no other symptoms. is nausea 3 days after bite a possible symptom? or is this more rare and is muscle ache and fever more a sign of lyme disease? thank you !!

Accepted Answer

Differences: Accounting for differences between European and North American Lyme disease, nausea and abdominal discomfort would not be typical for acute Lyme, while muscle aches and fever would be much more common, but highly non-specific. Any rash should be timely evaluated.

Question 5

stiff neck/shoulders, fatigue, muscle twitches, ear/jaw pain and stiffness, headaches/head pressure, very sore muscles waking up. lyme disease?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: You may have  fibromyalgia. You need to discuss  this with your physician and possibly see  a rheumatologist. This is unlikely to be  Lyme  disease  but there are  other possibilities in the differential diagnosis that  need to be confirmed. Your evaluation will include examination, lab studies and maybe imaging.

Question 6

i have lyme disease and my d dimmers were extremely elevated?

Accepted Answer

May be related to it: It could be related to your inflamation - especially any vascular issues. This will depend on the manfestations that you are  having. You can discuss that with your physician.

Question 7

how big is a tick bite that can cause lyme disease? i have a bite, but am not sure if its from a tick. what do tick bites look like?

Accepted Answer

Let me help: A small, red bump may appear at the site of the tick bite. This small bump is normal after a tick bite and doesn't indicate lyme disease. However, over the next few days, the redness may expand forming a rash in a bull's-eye pattern, with a red outer ring surrounding a clear area.

Question 8

Question 9

do you treat lyme disease?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Usually need treatment with antibiotics

Question 10

how do you get lyme disease?

Accepted Answer

Bite of infected tic: Lime disease is spread by ticks that have acquired the germ in the past and it stays in their system. A tick bite from another of the same species without the LD germ will not do it. The tick must get on your body, settle in for a feeding & feed long enough to pass the germ to you (hours).
