Just took a blood test for Lyme Disease. I have been having unexplained joint pain in my legs and lack of energy. Have had several tick bites in the last several months. What does anyone know about this?
Brother in law, niece and coworker have had it. Get it treated early. None of them did. They suffered secondary effects of the infection. Bell’s palsy, joint problems and other issues. My prayers are with you.
Have been trying to find a specialist. None in my area and we are pulluted with them this year. What I am finding most doctors don’t know anything about it
It ain’t good
My son in Law last summer had terrible joint pains in his knees.
After two misdiagnosis the Doctors concluded he had Lyme disease.
He was treated for it, and is OK now.-Tom
However your dog can get the exact same vaccine with no ill effects. Maybe if you were friends with a veterinarian you could get the a dose of the Lyme vaccine. I'd take it in one quick jiffy if I could get some.
I have had LD twice. Caught it early, antibiotics did the job.
My Mom and Brother both got infected with Lyme about 6 years ago. My brother had the tell tale “bullseye” red mark on his shoulder. Both went to the doctor and were given antibiotics. My Mom passed away from unrelated causes but my brother is doing fine. Go to the doctor and get the treatment, you should be fine, God Bless.
If the case with you, there are enzymes that are believed to eat such biofilms, along with scar tissue. Look into time release versions of lumbrokinase, serrapeptase, and nattokinase.
I can say my wife and I did a round of all three until the bottles were gone and my wife noticed some long-term pains from fibroids are now gone.
I didn’t notice anything.
I lost a beautiful black lab to it.
This reminded me of some of the experimentals they have been trying for covid
Check ivermectin ( or stromectol)
A fairly benign drug
Do your research
Docycycline or tetracycline can be effective if used early
I myself keep a supply of doxcy and will take 200 mg immediately after any possible tick bite
This disease can be terrible if it progresses so get early diagnosis and aggressive treatment
That is, “medicine at bay.”
I know a guy that was diagnosed with MS. Went on for about 5 years. They finally figured out that he had Lyme Disease. Better get a good diagnosis.
Thank you all for your input it is very valuable to me
Not much except that antibiotics are usually given and Trump seemed to imply to that democrat lawmaker that HCQ worked on lyme disease.
I had Lyme (lived 20 miles from Lyme, CT) in 1997. QUICK treatment with anti-biotics took care of it. Early treatment is important. Do you have a bullseye rash? That is sometimes a good indicator.

Thank you so much. Do I need an ok from the good Dr Fauci? /sarc
It can be permanent. Antibiotics should kill it but not quickly.It can be pretty bad if not treated. Some MS has been attributed to Lyme.
