What Are the Symptoms of Chronic Lyme Disease?
Chronic Lyme disease is a syndrome that mimics so many other conditions and is often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, MS, ALS and a myriad of other conditions. Some Lyme disease sufferers recall a tick bite and others can’t but there are symptoms which are common for the condition:
- Fatigue
- Pain
- Foggy thinking and inability to make decisions
- Emotional disturbances including anxiety and depression
- Headaches
- Vision changes
- Neurological symptoms including weakness and tingling sensations
Lyme disease patients usually suffer from at least a few of the above symptoms.
The introduction of the bacteria borelia burgdorferii by an infected tick is what causes the symptoms experienced by Lyme disease sufferers. Other co-infections may also contribute to the symptom picture. Laboratory testing via Western Blot fails to pick up the bacteria after a short window following the initial bite. Other tests, including IGenX Lyme Panel will often pick up these infections and possible co-infections.
