This list is long and it is surprising to see how many seemingly unrelated symptoms could actually be Lyme disease. It serves as a reminder that we must keep Lyme disease in the back of our minds when making a differential diagnosis. Early Lyme is considered a bulls-eye rash with NO constitutional symptoms. The disease is disseminated by the time flu like symptoms appear. You many have one or more of the symptoms from several categories.
Reactions vary in intensity from mild to severe.
Early detection and treatment is critical. Central nervous system involvement can occur within a few hours of tick bite. The longer the disease remains undetected, the more difficult it is to treat. Even if symptoms are vague, do not put off early diagnosis. Refer to articles and videos by knowledgeable physicians.
