Symptoms Of Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria called spirochete. This bacterium is called as borrelia burgdorferi in United States. Borrelia afzelii is another bacterium found in Europe which causes Lyme disease. This bacterium is also found in stomachs of certain Ticks, these ticks are one of the major reasons of spreading Lyme disease. This is not a contagious disease and Lyme disease creates abnormalities in joint, skin, heart and nervous systems.
Lyme disease symptoms are very common in the starting stage, after the bite of tick the area of the bite becomes red. The bacteria enter from the site of bite and then it affects different body organs. It can create problem in heart, nervous system and different joints.
In medical world the illness is categorized in three phrases
1. Early restricted disease - in this phrase the skin gets reddish and a bull's eye is created on the skin.
2. Early dispersed disease - this phrase involves the heart and nervous system and causes meningitis and palsies.
3. Late disease - this phrase includes the sensory and motion damage of brain and arthritis.
In the early stage of sickness reddish mark appears on the skin and this reddish mark is knows as "erythema migrans". Most of the patients can't recognize the tick bite and then because if the virus patients suffer from symptoms like joint stiffness, headache and general fatigue.
After few weeks when the reddish mark disappears the virus affects different parts of the body causing heart and nervous system related problems.
During the late phrase of the sickness virus can cause major heart problems like heart failure and nervous system failure. When this virus affects the joint it can create problems like joint stiffness and swelling. Virus mostly affects the knee joints in the final stages of illness. According to a research it is found that Lyme disease can also set a depressive mind set and it creates confusion in the mind. The occurrence of the disease is very minor in the starting stage and so it is very hard to detect in the initial phases. But as the virus spreads in the body it starts to create problems in different areas of the entire body. This virus is mainly found in areas where ticks are found. If the patient is treated in the early stages then doctors can easily cure the patient but in the later stages it becomes tougher to cure the patient.

Therapeutic symptoms are the signs of a particular type of treatment, as high temperature, quick pulse, and fast breathing will indicate that the person has a fever.
Symptoms which are obvious to an observer are described as objective. These symptoms are sensations experienced by the person with the disease.
Pathgnomonic is a term used to describe symptoms that indicate a particular disease, such as a peculiar cough or a high fever.

Symptoms Lyme Disease
Symptoms Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is a bacterial illness caused by a bacterium, called "spirochete", "Borrelia Burgdorferi and Borrelia afzelii. Ticks are the primary carrier of this bacteria which is found in the ticks' stomachs. Lyme disease is spread by these ticks when they bite the skin and permits the bacteria to infect the body.
Lyme disease is not contagious from human to human but can be contagious in a household if the tick keeps biting everyone in the home. This disease can cause abnormalities in the skin, joints, heart, and nervous system.
Lyme disease that is left untreated will progress from mild symptoms to a serious form. There are three stages of Lyme disease
Stage 1 - localized disease with skin inflammation
Stage 2 - disseminated disease with heart and nervous system involvement,
Stage 3 - late disease with sensory nerve damage and brain inflammation, leading to arthritis
Stage 1 - symptoms include, a red rash, like an insect bite (this may not happen always), fever, headache, stiff neck, chills muscle aches, fatigue, lack of energy and swollen lymph nodes. Most patients notice a unique enlarging rash referred as erythema migrans a few days after the bite. The skin around the bite develops an expanding ring of redness. In some instances, the person does not notice any symptoms during this stage. Stage 1 symptoms are similar to those of a viral flu.
Stage 2 - If the Lyme disease is not detected and treated during the early stages, the disease may affect the skin, joints, nervous system, and heart within weeks and up to a month of the initial infection.
Symptoms include, excessive tiredness, the spread of skin rashes all over the body as the infection spreads, slow and poor memory, unable to concentrate, Conjunctivitis and damage to the tissue in the eyes, rapid heartbeats, pain, weakness, or numbness in the arms or legs, heart disease, inability to control the muscles of the face, recurring headaches and severe headaches and fainting.
Stage 3 - Even at the second stage if Lyme disease is not properly treated effectively, damage to the joints, nerves, and brain can develop months or years after the initial encounter. Symptoms include swelling and pain in the joints more often seen in the knee area, numbness, tingling in the hands and feet, severe fatigue, partial facial nerve paralysis, memory problems, mood swings or lack of sleep, and problems with speech. These symptoms may last up to 6 months at a time.
Chronic Lyme arthritis, which causes recurring episodes of swelling, redness, and fluid buildup in one or more, joints that last up to 6 months at a time.
Lyme disease is also treated with antibiotics.

Lyme Disease Early Symptoms
Lyme Disease Early Symptoms
Lyme disease is known to affect different areas of the body as it progresses in severity. The more it progresses, the more serious it gets, and equally, the more difficult it is to treat. The place where the tick bites the skin is where the bacteria enter from. As the bacteria spread in the skin from the original tick bite, the infection causes a red rash. Later on, other abnormalities can be manifested in the joints, heart, and the nervous system.
One of the most common Lyme disease early symptoms includes skin inflammation. While the disease progresses, there is usually heart and nervous system involvement. The later stages of the disease show motor and sensory nerve damage and brain inflammation, as well as arthritis.
In Lyme disease early symptoms, which are evident within days up to weeks of the tick bite, the skin around the bite develops a red ring. There may be an outer ring of brighter redness and a central area, which looks like a 'bull's-eye'. Patients often cannot recall the tick bite because the tick can be very small. Also, victims may not identify the rash, and connect it to Lyme disease, to consult a doctor. Some patients may never even get a rash.
There is general fatigue, muscle and joint pains and stiffness, lymph nodes becoming swollen and headache accompanying the redness of the skin. These symptoms resemble those of a typical viral infection, making it even trickier to be able to identify and know for sure that it is Lyme disease.
The redness may go away without treatment, usually in about one month. Some weeks, even months after the initial redness of the skin, the bacteria spread throughout the whole body. This is what subsequently leads to disease in the joints, heart, and nervous system.
In summary, the Lyme disease early symptoms can be identified as headache, stiff neck, fever, sleep disorders, muscle aches, fatigue and a characteristic rash on the skin. With timely detection of Lyme disease early symptoms, one is advised to see a doctor. This is important since at this early stage, natural treatment and elimination of Lyme disease is possible. Thousands of people have been able to treat Lyme disease naturally. Due to the negative side-effects of Lyme disease medication, it is simply better to treat it early, with an advantage of the possibility of natural treatment.
