On my community board a woman said she pulled a tick off her and a standby nurse said that because she wasn’t symptomatic she’ll be okay and wait 2-4 weeks to see if symptoms occur and only then will they treat because of antibodies taking “2-4 weeks to develop

IGNORANT MEDICAL STAFF = EXTREME SUFFERING /EARLY DEATH

Know your knowledge before you enter/call a doctors office, stand your ground, and demand a minimum of 30 days of Doxycycline. Journal how you feel everyday for the next 30 days, and then continue to monitor yourself when the dose has ended due to antibiotics often not eradicating/putting lyme into remission.

Your best chances when it comes to lyme is PREVENTION FIRST. THEN TREATMENT.

•After hiking/or being outside for long periods take a shower

•if you are willing, light clothes help to make ticks stand out

•Check your body. Ticks tend to crawl in spaces they know aren’t checked as often or are harder to reach. This includes hair, armpit, the creases of your elbows and knees, behind your ears, and on your back/neck area.

Lyme Disease mimicks over a dozen other diseases, many being degenerative diseases. There is a lot of medical studies linking lyme to either being these diseases, OR triggering them to become active. There is still a lot we do not know. What I do know, from myself, and so many others, is it’s almost astonishing to believe it’s true that someone has over 20+ diagnoses/symptoms. But it happens. Many of those causing debilitating pain/weakness which ultimately makes the patient too sickly to successfully work. Many patients even after treatment , become permanently disabled, all while trying to seek a “cure” and “relief” from symptoms.

There is still a lot we don’t know on Lyme disease; which is why the more we do to protect ourselves; the better.
