And there are more related articles below the article.It would be wise to be tested for Lyme disease. I thought people would only be susceptible if they walked in the country and were exposed to deer ticks, but according to the new data, there turn out to be a lot of people who have never been to the country or like me, rarely leave their house, who have been infected with Lyme, and there are many co-infections that go along with Lyme. Canada doesn't have many doctors that know about this, but in the USA, if you get tested for Lyme by your primary care provider, your next step is to look online for an LLMD (A Lyme Literary MD). There are both medical and natural treatments for Lyme disease.
Some body was asking about this the other day I just don't remember if it was here or the lupus site I meant to look something up on it to post but forgot. Thank you.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I personally know how dangerous Lyme is - my sister had it last summer and by the time she got to a doctor, one week after the bite, we both thought she wasn't going to make it. She was incoherent and as limp as a rag doll. She had become incredibly sick almost immediately after the bite but didn't know what was wrong. It's a hideous disease and if any of us have Lyme and this is how it's manifesting itself...then I feel sorry for them.
You can get a tick bite as easily as from a tick that rode in on your pet cat or dog. And the ticks can be as small as the tip of a pen. They oftentimes manifest themselves through a round, bull's eye rash on your body. The disease is terrible and if fibro is related to it, then I hope the medical industry discovers this link and finds something suitable to treat it with for those people who have been sick with it for a long time.
PS: After treatment, my sister was fine. I pray that no lasting or hidden damage was done but so far, so good,one year on.
PPS: This is why I refuse to give blood, though. I have no idea what's caused the fibro and be d@mned if I pass this nightmare on to anyone else. My sis feels the same way and can't give blood for a while anyway, thanks to the Lyme's Disease.
Thanks Sheila,
you always have the best info ! It’s on my bucket list ( lol ) to find a Lyme literate dr. This article totally makes sense
