How Do You Know If You Have A Lyme Disease?
2
Lyme disease has its own mysteries with various maladies which is why it is quite difficult to diagnose the disease. Lyme disease can manifest itself to different persons with varied number of symptoms. According to Lyme Disease Specialist this disease throws out of the rule book for modern medicine. With this disease nothing is certain as each person is affected uniquely by it while the treatment is quite specific to each patient. One does not need to have a bull’s eye rash, a visible tick bite or flu like symptom to possess this disease.

Dr.Shor one of the most pioneer healthcare specialist in the field of Lyme disease suggests that if you are chasing a mystery illness which seems to progress continuously and intensely while showing varied type of symptoms it is most probably a strong indicator for Lyme disease. Also if you are a relatively healthy person and seem to continue getting diagnosis for autoimmune disorders then it could also be an indicative of Lyme disease. Another one indicator of Lyme disease is to take your body temperature every morning after waking up. Lyme disease thrives in a low body temperature.

Treatment For Lyme Disease There is no specific treatment for Lyme disease. But during the first two weeks of the tick bite, there is an opportunity to reduce the concentration of microbes before they disseminate deeper into tissues with the help of conventional antibiotics. Lyme Disease Specialist mostly recommend doxycycline 100mg twice a day for atleast 2-3 weeks. Along with medicinal treatment often therapies are recommended to get the best results and minimize the symptoms of the disease.
