Are Fatigue, Stomach Upset And Fever The Symptoms Of Lyme Infection?

I have not felt well for a couple of weeks...2 weeks ago, I felt dizzy and like I might pass out. I thought I had a virus but I am not sure now as it has been awhile. I ve been feeling fatugued and my stomach has been upset and I feel a little feverish. I have lost 15 lbs over the last few months but I have switched to eating a mostly vegan diet ( I do eat eggs and fish). I have been taking B12 supplements. I live near woods and my dog has had Lyme disease. Do my symptoms sounds like an early Lyme infection? Do you think not eating meat or chicken could be making me ill? Thank you

Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.

In your case it does not seems like Lyme disease but if your dog has infection then you can get tested for Lyme disease. You have lost lot of weight is a sign of chronic disease. I would suggest you to visit a physician and get yourself evaluated to rule out the possibility of chronic infection. As for your current infection it feels like viral infection which usually require rest. Eat light diet.

Take care
