Ticks. I hate them. They are killing us. You say you have ticks in your area. Please, if you start having flu like symptoms, joint pain, muscle pain, actually any illness at all, please find a Lyme literate doctor via ILADS. My daughter was told years ago sz he possibly had Lupus. Then they said no it wasn't that. She was sent to specialists for arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus...finally saying she had fibromyalgia. A year and a half ago she started stuttering like porky pig. Sorry, fibromyalgia doesn't stutter. She was given Lyme test, negative. The doctor had a hunch and sent her sample to a different lab that does deeper testing. Not only does she have Lyme disease but she also has Babesiosis and possibly other tick borne diseases. It has caused neurological encephalopathy. She cannot work. She cannot think clearly. Her gait is wobbly. She hurts all the time. She lost 40 pounds. CDC protocols are 30 days of antibiotics and you are now cured. Don't believe them. IF you catch it early enough it can work. Not everyone gets bullseye rash. She may have been infected 15 years ago. The spiroketes are in her brain. In her bones. Her muscles. If they get to her heart...
Thank you. I'm now a warrior against this disease and try to educate people (including Doctors) of this epidemic . Yes, it is an epidemic. We have a family member who has been being treated for multiple sclerosis for years. Nope. It's Lyme. Lyme gets misdiagnosed almost every time.
