I mean, I'm in the UK. I got a tick bite, leg swelled up, bullseye mark on leg. Diagnosed about 2 weeks after symptoms started, 2 week course of antibiotics and leg up for a few days so help manage the swelling. I was fine within 5 days or so but finished my treatment as you're meant to. The NHS was incredible because I could barely walk by the time I got to the hospital due to pain from the swelling. Been fine ever since.

[@jamesassheton5317]

Liam Parkinson lucky you. But my cousin didn’t have any easily identifiable cause to her afflictions. So she had to go to America to get treatment. Turned out she had brain swelling as well as other things like glucose intolerance for some reason and a whole host of others. I’m glad the NHS were so helpful in your case !! And in almost every other regard they are Brilliant as well.

I've been living with Lyme's disease for a little over a year now... Got bit by a tick in the park with my dog, had a huge bullseye, no idea what it was until a colleague urged me to see a doctor. I wasn't worried as I heard most of the time nothing happens and antibiotics do the job. 3 weeks of antibiotics didn't do the job. I'm officially chronic now and it's slowly getting worst. I get sick with awful flu like symptoms every single time I travel or am a bit stressed or cold or anything, get migraines, lose focus, sometimes wakeup with extreme weakness. It has made me very depressed, I used to be so healthy and now feel like ive aged 20 years... And there is nothing I can do about it. :(

[@yaelwolfsong4616]

The Fur Monsters, very sorry you have Lyme Disease. Hope you have a good Lyme Literate MD ("LLMD") to help you tame your Lyme into remission, at least. 3 weeks of antibiotics has never worked for anyone with Lyme, that I've met or talked with, or read about! It's just not how Lyme works...for example, I took several antibiotics for many years, along with many other "alternative" (herbal) therapies & a gluten/sugar/meat/dairy-free diet...and it took me YEARS of hard work to get my Lyme into a remission-like state... and I still do get sick when intensely stressed or if someone I love dies, etc...It sucks, but I try to manage it best I am able. I hope that you can find help. It is out there, if you look for a good LLMD. Best wishes to you & your dog, too.

[@schifoso]

Lyme Disease can be very debilitating. Here in British Columbia the medical community wouldn't acknowledge its existence, so people that contracted it would not be treated and suffered terribly. Only one doctor would treat affected people, and his medical license was revoked for doing so. If you become infected, get treatment right away and make sure they give high doses of antibiotics. Failure to do so can cause the disease to become chronic.

[@yaelwolfsong4616]

It is the same in the USA and some other countries.... many doctors may be aware of Lyme & are not allowed to acknowledge or treat it....especially the Emergency Medicine doctors, unfortunately. We have to seek out good "Lyme Literate MDs" and travel great distances to them....often moving to live near them, just to survive. Many do not live. Many commit suicide and their Lyme Disease is never recorded. Do whatever it takes.... yes...if you get a tick bite, SAVE THE TICK in a ziplock baggie, and send it for testing.... there are several places that test for free or a small fee, some charge more. ALWAYS obtain Doxycycline for adults that have been bitten, however you can obtain it....especially if you have acne (?) the doctors love to prescribe doxy for acne...(ahem!). Several weeks is barely enough for an initial infection....get yourself to a good Lyme literate Dr if you are bitten by a tick! Good advice, thank you, Robert Zanatta!!!

@@Enigminthemist I've been to several pain doctors. I used to be on pain meds but they can be addictive and have side effects.

I like edibles because I can control the dosage of CBD or THC that's entering my body. I have to restock and I need to find a nearby dispensary that has something that'll work for me.

I am no doctor or scientist but I have read that lyme disease are not just bacterial infection. Lyme disease gives you TBE viral infection too. And another artical wrote that person can get fungal infection as well. You must take antiviral and antifungal medicine too, to get rid of your symptoms. That why inflammation persist in persons body after antibiotic treatment.

[@yaelwolfsong4616]

I am no doctor, either, but I sure feel more informed than most doctors, LOL!.....Yes, Lyme Disease is like a biowarfare viral/bacterial soup! Also, the coinfections that go along with Lyme Disease are plentiful and hard to spell: Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia/Anaplasmosis, Cytomeglomeglovirus..and there's always Thrush from antibiotics, Q Fever, Tularemia, Mycoplasma, Powassan Virus, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever ("Rickettsia Rickettsii"), "Tickborne Relapsing Fever", Rickettsia Helvetica, Rickettsia Parkerii or Rickettsii Philipii, etc., etc..AND MORE. There are many pathogens in this one "Lyme Disease" that must all be diagnosed and treated appropriately. I tested positive for Bartonella, Babesia, Cytomegalovirus, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever & Lyme Disease....while my mother tested positive for Ehrlichia & Lyme Disease. My father died from Powassan fever and Lyme Disease & we did not get a chance to test him for anything else before he passed, unfortunately. My sibling tested extremely high positive for Bartonella and Lyme and died from complications. On a more upbeat note, I find that not eating gluten, sugar, meat & dairy was helpful in my recovery and DEFINITELY continues to be helpful in making me feel better. Oh, and I got Alpha Gal from one Lone Star tick bite, so I am allergic to meat, which is not a big deal for me, a vegetarian.... but I have to be REALLY careful about eating out....as most foods are often cooked together & if my food was cooked with meat, my body turns all red and blotchy and I look like I'm a cooked lobster that's about to explode...much drama, but luckily, I haven't had breathing complications...but I do carry an Epi Pen, just in case. Inflammation IS the bottom line with Lyme! YES! Eating Alkaline is key. Best wishes.

It's kind of too simplified if you state the reasoning not injecting humans with the protein is because humans aren't deer. Humans aren't cows either yet one of the earliest vaccines (which was against smallpox) was derived from smallpox in cows and yes I know that vaccines and protein injection are not similar but that is not the point here, the point is here simply that explaining it in this way may leave out some essential information.

Lyme Disease is PANDEMIC. Lyme Disease is rampant in every U.S. state, in every country. There is just as much Lyme in Arizona as there is in Long Island, NY, as there is in Rhode Island.... people suffering from it are often told that "It's growing pains", "It's just a little fatigue", "It's probably just not enough sleep", "You're probably just overworked", "It's arthritis", "It's all in your head", etc., ad nauseum. OR, they drop dead, are chronically ill/ misdiagnosed, hopefully minimally ill, just 'living with it', or seeking a 'rea'l diagnosis. The media never covers these patients, especially the dead ones who just die off.... Do not kid yourself...it is EVERYwhere there are animals and life.... and has been for thousands of years. Only now, "Lyme" is a massive cocktail of viruses, bacteria, and other pathogen-yuck...which no one test can possibly uncover. A patient would need to be checked for; Cytomegalovirus; Anaplasmosis; Bartonella; Babesia; Lyme Disease; Complete Blood Workup --all by a Lyme Literate MD, etc., etc., etc... in order to rule out "Lyme Disease". Where there are humans there is garbage. Where there is garbage there are mice and rats and birds and cats and dogs and deer and other life and.....ticks. You would need to be in an airtight, lifeless bubble to be in an area that does not have much Lyme! LOL. Birds are often covered with ticks.

I just got tested even though, I didn’t have bull’s-eye and minor version of the symptoms. My doctor was even like I don’t think you have it but we’ll see when the results come back.

This is probably far too simple, but if the bacteria isn’t doing anything in our bodies, then would it not be possible to have our bodies accept it instead of constantly lose a battle fighting it? I’m not aware of such a technique in medicine but it strikes me as a more logical approach, if it’s possible. This is what zero hours of medical study looks like 🥲

[@shadowdance4666]

After the tick is removed how long do the symptoms persist?

[@yaelwolfsong4616]

If the tick has pathogens (highly likely), it depends on WHICH pathogens you are infected with....if it is Lyme Disease and/or Ehrlichia and/or Babesia, Bartonella...you may feel nothing or feel like you have a mild or very serious flu, or aches and pains...or a fever, or no fever. Bartonella might give you weird skin marks that resemble red stretch marks. Bartonella might make you angry or even psychotic. Babesia may throw your bloodwork off, or might make you tired. Some people are chronically ill for decades. Some people are very lucky and go right to a good, Lyme-Literate doctor & receive appropriate, ongoing treatment & perhaps, are only ill for a few months or a year or so..... every one is different. My friend ended up in a wheelchair. I got violently ill with what I THOUGHT was the flu...and went to a doctor who gave me two (2) Doxycycline pills and instructed me to "come back if you don't get better", even though I told him I had multiple tick bites & showed him photos of the tick bites and the raging Bullseye Rashes that appeared on my skin. I ended up in the ER, who basically refused any treatment other than saline drip & a lame referral. -Watch "Under Our Skin" movie and "Under Our Skin II: Emergence". Knowledge is power. Be powerful!

[@ThatOneScienceGuy]

If deer have proteins in their body that kills Lyme, why do ticks contract it from the deer only to go on and spread it around? I was bit by a tick in Maine in July 2016. Sent the tick in for testing and it had Lyme. 3 years later I seem fine and the test I had for Lyme came back negative so thank goodness for that. Lyme can be a nightmare.

[@yaelwolfsong4616]

Lyme Disease can go into remission, and that's a great place for it to be! I find that a gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free diet helps keep my Lyme symptoms minimal. Also exercise, when I'm able. Do whatever works for you!!
