Could Symptom Of Tiredness Be Due To Lyme S Disease?

Hi. I ve recently been having possible symptoms of lyme disease after being bitten by several ticks after walking out in the woods. I ve been nothing but tired ever since (no matter how much I sleep) and I ve been slow to think of things and have been very off lately. Any suggestions or ideas as to whats going on with me?

Hi,

Welcome to HCM.


Lymes disease can present with tiredness.but in the first stage patient suffers from annular rash at the site of bite and fever. Weakness and joint pain set in later. I suggest you undergo testing for IgM and IgG for Lymes to confirm diagnosis.
Once diagnosis is confirmed, relevant antibiotic therapy can be taken.

Thanks.
