tick bite

Hi alunle82,
I never got a rash and at over the course of a few years, I had just a few odd symptoms that at first didn't get connected to Lyme and co. But then many months later I had full blown Neuro Lyme and co infections.

So I believe we are all different and for different reasons such as our current health at the time, stress, genetics and other factors can cause the symptoms to be different for everyone of us.

Just think about all the different posts here, some of us have severe fatigue, others don't, some have severe pain others none, my point being that these infections are very different and complex for each individual.

You are testing positive and having these symptoms, you probably have Lyme.

If you don't think it was that tick , it could have possibly been other bugs(fleas,mites, mosquito), or other modalities of transmission of the bacteria that you got Lyme from.


Well I do hope you get some relief from your symptoms soon and try to stay strong in faith that you will recover from all of this.

Take care,Jo

If you have neuro Lyme for some it can cause audio/hearing and visual issues. I couldn't tolerate noise that was really at normal levels but for me seemed much louder.

Visual or computer brightness could be because of light sensitivity.

I have had the burning feeling in my head and mouth. With proper treatment those symptoms are gone for me now.

If you are concerned about other medical issues not related to these infections you should seek out help for that I was tested with many MRI and Cat scan, Blood work, Nerve testing and ruled out any other issues to be sure.


Hope this helps please take care and know that we understand what you are going through and are here for you.

alunke - are you detoxing enough?

That is something you need to focus on.

You could ask your Dr. about minocycline - and see how you feel on that one. But, I would start off slow - only 100 mg once daily ....and then after a week or two...you can increase to full dose of 100 mg twice daily.

It's the same class of abx as doxy...but it does have better blood/brain barrier penetration.

alunke82, I hope you can read this link okay. www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.htm

It is so important for you to understand that your body is sick and not working as well as normal. Your body has to move out all kinds of toxins and crud that we encounter in the air, in our food, etc., every single day.

When we take antibiotics or other substances that kill the bad organisms in us, the remains of that dead stuff goes into our blood stream, and into the organs designed to filter it out, and put it into one of our body's natural channels of disposal. That could be urine, sweat, etc.

Those filtering organs get overwhelmed with it all and get blocked up. So they send the crud back through our blood stream all over again. It keeps cycling.

That link that I gave you is full of easy methods to help your body remove the crud. These too must be added in slowly, but the more you do, and the more regular you do them, the better you will feel.

Otherwise you will be like I was on my 90 days of Doxycycline thinking I was dying and would not live to see the New Year. I didn't de-tox. I wasn't aware at the time how important it is. Most Drs. don't even realize that.

Doxy is a good antibiotic for these Tick borne infections. It works. Sometimes some people absolutely can't take Doxy, they may be allergic. That's a different matter.

Pleas don't forget to take really good probiotics for your stomach too, at least 2 hours away from the antibiotic(s). Otherwise your stomach will rebel when you try to eat.
