Lyme Disease

What is Lyme disease neuropathy?

The tick-borne bacteria that causes Lyme disease can also affect the peripheral nervous system
The longer that the Lyme disease infection lasts, the higher the chances of developing peripheral neuropathy
Lyme disease-related peripheral neuropathy can often be treatable if caused early — with treatment of the disease and maintenance of proper nerve health, symptoms can fade

Lyme disease typically manifests in three stages of severity; these are some common symptoms for each stage —
1. Fatigue, fever and chills, muscle and joint pain, red circular rash, stiff neck, swollen lymph nodes
2. Facial paralysis, irregular heartbeat, meningitis, numbness and pain in arms and legs, stiff neck, poor coordination
3. Arthritis, swollen joints, muscle pain, difficulty sleeping and concentrating, memory loss, peripheral neuropathy symptoms
If you suspect Lyme disease, get tested for it immediately
