Lyme Disease Symptoms

Borreliosis, or Lyme disease, is an infectious disease caused by bacteria that is carried by several varieties of tick. It often is brought into a home by pets. Ticks also live in tall grasses and may cling to people and animals as they walk by. It is the most common disease of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere. When an infected tick bites, the disease is able to grow and spread. Most, though not all, people who have the disease become ill. The first stage symptoms are characterized by chills, fever, headaches, lethargy, and muscle pain. It resembles the common flu.

Some patients develop a round, bulls-eye rash. This is the spot of the tick bite. Antibiotics are used to treat this stage of the disease. Symptoms for stage two of Lyme disease are not consistent, and may disappear on their own. Many patients that exhibit stage two symptoms do not have the rash that characterizes stage one. In addition to the aforementioned symptoms, many patients experience blurred vision, fainting, stiff neck and joint inflammation. Facial paralysis, hallucinations, nausea, and vomiting are not uncommon. Antibiotics are given to these patients intravenously, due to the severity of its affect on the nervous system.

If left untreated Lyme disease moves to stage three and begins to not only affect the skin and joints, but may cause damage to the brain, muscles and bones. Symptoms, in addition to those mentioned in stages one and two, include sensitivity to light, confusion, memory loss and sleep disorders. This stage may develop months, or even years after being contracted. A round of antibiotics that lasts up to 28 days is the standard treatment. Depending on the severity of the symptoms and age of the patient, they may be administered intravenously. Blood tests are most often used to diagnosis the disease.

Despite the number of people bitten by ticks each year, most do not contract Lyme disease. Lyme Disease Symptoms, once manifest, may last for three to four weeks. There are several steps that can be taken to reduce the chances of contracting this disease. When a tick is found on a body, whether human or a pet, it should be removed immediately. If it is removed within 36 hours, the transmission rates for the disease are close to zero.

• Lyme disease symptoms, when diagnosed early, is readily treatable with oral antibiotics.
• Positive antibody tests, by themselves, do not provide a sufficient basis for diagnosing Lyme disease. The diagnosis should be based on the overall clinical picture, including medical history and physical findings.
• Negative antibody testing after the first few weeks strongly suggests that the patient does not have Lyme disease.
• Many patients with chronic, nonspecific symptoms (such as headaches, fatigue, muscle aches, mental confusion, or sleep disturbances) mistakenly believe they have Lyme disease.
• Intravenous antibiotic therapy, when given appropriately, should not last more than a month. It should not be given unless oral antibiotic therapy has failed and persistent active infection has been demonstrated by culture, biopsy, or other bacteriologic technique.
• Malariotherapy, intracellular hyperthermia therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, colloidal silver, dietary supplements, and herbs are not appropriate measures for treating Lyme disease. Doctors who recommend them should be avoided.

List of Lyme Disease Symptoms

Every organ and organ system can be affected, here’s a list of some of the Lyme Disease symptoms as they relate to specific areas of the body:

• Head – headache, neck pain, facial pain and paralysis, difficulty chewing, pain in teeth, dry mouth, loss of taste/smell, numb tongue/mouth. Peculiar metallic or salty taste is also common in Lyme Disease. This is likely due to the BLPs present in the system.
• Bladder — frequent or painful urination, repeated urinary tract infections, irritable bladder, interstitial cystitis.
• Lung — respiratory infection, cough, asthma, pneumonia, pleurisy, chest pains
• Ear — pain, hearing loss, ringing (tinnitus), sensitivity to noise, dizziness & equilibrium disorders.
• Eyes — pain due to inflammation (sclerotic, uveitis, optic neuritis), dry eyes, sensitivity to light, drooping of eyelid (ptosis), conjunctivitis, blurry or double vision, swelling around eyes / bags below the eyes.
• Throat — sore throat, swollen glands, cough, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing
• Neurological — headaches, facial paralysis, seizures, meningitis, stiff neck, burning, tingling, or prickling sensations (parenthesis), loss of reflexes, loss of coordination, equilibrium problems/dizziness (these symptoms mimic an MS, ALS, or Parkinson’s like syndrome)
• Stomach — pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, anorexia
• Heart — weakness, dizziness, irregular heart-beat, myocarditis, pericarditis, palpitations, heart block, enlarged heart, fainting, shortness of breath, chest pain, mitral valve prolapse.
• Muscle & skeletal system — arthralgias (joint pain), fibromyalgia (muscle inflammation and pain)
• Other Organs — liver infection / hepatitis, elevated liver enzymes, enlarged spleen, swollen testicles, and irregular or ceased menses.
• Neuropsychiatric — mood swings, irritability, anxiety, rage (Lyme rage), poor concentration, cognitive loss, memory loss, loss of appetite, mental deterioration, depression, disorientation, insomnia
• Pregnancy — miscarriage, premature birth, birth defects, stillbirth
• Skin – EM, single or multiple rash, hives, ACA

Another interesting symptom often noticed is an increased susceptibility to electrostatic shock. This is likely due to the BLPs causing a change in the electro-potential in our cells/nervous system. Some of these toxins are likely sodium channel agonists and can change the electrical potential of our body. Thus, the likelihood of electro-static shock.

One or more of these Lyme disease symptoms is not diagnostic for Lyme Disease, except for a bulls-eye EM rash. A diagnosis for Lyme disease is a clinical one and must be made by a physician experienced in recognizing Lyme Disease symptoms and history, experienced in interpreting lab results and recognizing a response to treatment. Always remember that negative serological tests are not reliable and cannot be used solely for a diagnosis. These tests frequently are incorrectly negative.

What Are the Symptoms of Lyme Disease in Dogs and Cats?

The symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs differ from those in people, and usually occur much later after the tick bite. Clinical illness in dogs usually occurs 2 to 5 months after a bite from an infected tick. Cats can develop Lyme disease, but it occurs rarely in them, even in endemic areas. Other domestic animals such as horses have contracted Lyme disease, but it does not appear to be a significant problem. Dogs show several different forms of the disease, but by far, the most common symptoms are a fever of between 103 and 105°, lameness, swelling in the joints, swollen lymph nodes, lethargy, and loss of appetite.
