Not everyone knows that tick deer bites actually cause people to have Lyme disease. Symptoms of disease would start showing one or two weeks after a person has been exposed to tick bites.
Preventing yourself from tick bite will prevent Lyme. Symptoms do not all appear in all Lyme patients and they may present at different stages as the disease progresses to its full symptoms. Lyme disease symptoms vary widely from person to person. It can mimic symptoms of other chronic disabling diseases of the nervous system.
It is easy to miss the early symptoms of Lyme disease. Doctors regularly misdiagnose the symptoms; Lyme early signs are similar to flu and usually go away without treatment, scientists estimate as many as nine out of every ten cases go unreported. Since the disease is a multistage illness, symptoms Lyme can be mistaken as signs of another ailment.
started w/lightheadness/dizziness,headache, pain in top of feet at night, progressed to high blood pressure, episodes of fainty spells and started losing hair on arms and legs. Had not had an episode for over 3 months and had one today. Also had one episode of sudden joint pain in knees and legs. Don't remember being bitten by a tick but I live near woods.
