What are the symptoms of Lyme Disease?

Question

I got bit by a tick a couple of weeks ago and have been severly tired, have had a headache on and off, back ache, and sick to my stomach. Could this be tick bite related? No fever though.

Answer 1

Early symptoms can include an expanding circular rash called erythema migrans, and flulike symptoms, such as body aches, fatigue, and mild fever. In the United States, about 80% of people with Lyme disease develop a circular rash at the site of the tick bite. 3 However, some people don't have any symptoms in the early stages of Lyme disease.

The incubation period—the time from when you are first infected until you develop symptoms—is usually around 7 to 14 days, but symptoms can develop anywhere from 3 to 31 days after you are bitten. 4

If the early stage of Lyme disease goes unnoticed, later symptoms can include swelling and pain in joints (similar to arthritis); numbness and tingling in the hands, feet, or back; persistent fatigue; poor memory and reduced ability to concentrate; and weakness or paralysis in the muscles of the face.

Answer 2

Symptoms of Lyme Disease include

- Pain all over

- Bell's Palsey (stiffness of the face characterized by possible drooping)

- Red rash-like blotches (can be in the shape of a bull's eye)

- Possibly fatigue, nasuea, and fevers

If more rashes start to form then the disease is spreading. You should see a doctor if you're this concerned, have them run a blood test and, once they get the results, you can go from there.

Answer 3

6 year lymie here!

get to a doctor and start antibiotics immediately! I didn't get treated early on when I first got the rash and flu like illness.

if you don't get treated soon, it will get worse. tired all the time, constant headaches, back aches, joint pain, eye pain, pink eye, dizzy spells, dropping things, you will start to lose your words. All of this you can expect in about 6 months to a year from now if you do have lyme.

go to your doctor, get antibiotics!
