could i have lyme disease? i was bitten about 4 years ago and had the rash for about 6 weeks. i never got very ill, but now i have symptoms.

Question

What are the symptoms of new Lyme disease if you don't have a rash?

Answer 1

Very unlikely: Symptoms of primary Lyme disease do not occur 4 years after the bite.

Answer 2

Unlikely: While one has antibodies for life after being exposed to the virus that causes mono. The virus should no longer be causing a problem.

Answer 3

Don't worry about it: Mono is caused by ebv virus, and a great many people already have the virus by the time they reach adulthood. Kids who catch ebv when young often get a milder, shorter illness (they don't remember ever having mono). There is no way to tell if one will get mono from sharing a single meal, 5 meals, or 50 meals. Ebv is generally considered a part of life. People don't spend time trying to avoid it.

Answer 4

Get tested: There are many possible causes of unexplained fever ranging from infection, autoimmune diseases, even certain cancers. Please get tested by a doctor soon.

Answer 5

It's possible but...: Realize that a person can have a seizure for many reasons. Having a seizure does not have to be related to his medication, his diet, his activities, etc...

Answer 6

See below: It is always possible to have an increased risk of seizure when reducing the amount of barbiturate used from a prior dose.

Answer 7

More info: "chicken bumps" are more commonly seen on the arms and legs and do well with cod liver oil (orally). On the face...Depends on the age. If a newborn is one thing. Older children i would want to see the rash before offering suggestions. In general there is a great cream..Called schmoove. Can be ordered from maker.

Answer 8

LUNG? LIVER?: Whereabouts are these nodules?

Answer 9

In your thyroid?: Many women have thyroid nodules and only a small proportion (about 5%) are cancerous. A family history might increase your risk, as would a history of radiation to your neck. However, having more than 1 nodule often means benign nodules. Often a needle biopsy is done, to be sure, of the largest nodule, especially if there is a lot of blood flow on ultrasound or if it is found to be growing.

Answer 10

Coughing up blood?: Coughing up blood? Are you a smoker? Family history of lung cancer? Occupation? Any constitutional symptom: weight loss, night sweats, fatigue? What prompted you to get ct of lungs?
