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.
