I assume your thyroid and electrolytes are normal? Also do you snore or have sleep apnea?

“What does anyone know about this?”

Named after Lyme, CT. Soon to be renamed TF-96.

We’re having a banner tick year so far in Southern Oregon. Dogs and horses so far.
A rancher friend thinks he had Lymes a few years ago. Put him down for several months... and he’s a big, strong guy.

The old test for Lymn Disease wasn’t all that accurate. Perhaps they have a better test now.

If it is Lymes, nip it in the bud.

Don’t hesitate to hit it with big doses of antibiotics.

Lived in Va in 1988. One of our field guys got hit hard and wound up with his legs practically paralyzed.

The hospitals can’t always detect it you would be better off to go to a specialist

Ticks carry Lyme. The reason one should always de tick after being in their territory

It can be very debilitating. It becomes an autoimmune if bad enough. You may end up on a lengthy round of anti biotic. Can have severe long term side effects. Some folks recover quickly. Hope you’re the later

You’re in for a ride.
Most places only consider you having lyme if you show positive in ALL five bands.
Some doctors who specialize in lyme treatment say you can actually have lyme with as little as two or three bands being positive.
Good luck, prayers up.
Keep fluid and electrolytes up.

I had Lyme disease a couple years ago. I went to an Urgent Care. They prescribed me a drug, and within 24 hours I felt perfectly normal.

20 years ago, I had Lymes, Meningitis and Shingles all at the same time. I was hospitalized for about a week.

Sent home and had care providing I.V. therapy for a week, then could handle that on my own.

Continued for about a month.

I can tell you this...I had no strength, or stamina, could not walk from one room to the next without resting.

Please see a physician as soon as possible - don’t rely on info from the Internet for treatment.

Good luck!

ps...recovered and have been 100% since.

Just took a blood test for Lyme Disease. I have been having unexplained joint pain in my legs and lack of energy.

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

I know that there was a highly effective vaccine against Lyme disease which was withdrawn because the shrill anti-vaxers screamed and screeched so loud that the manufacturer said “f*** this sh**” and stopped marketing it.

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 infected, antibiotics don’t always get rid of it. I understand this is partly due to a biofilm it creates to keep medicine at bat.

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.

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
