What Causes Fatigue After Recovering From Tick Bite Fever?

I got South African tick bite fever a few months ago and went on antibiotics, finsihed the course and was fine. However when I started training / exercising hard again I kept getting sick and now I am sick again after one week of hard training. I am very healthy and I am used to training very hard, could this be as a result of the TBF?

Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

I understand your concern regarding fatigue and myalgia after tick bite fever.
Such illness is associated with generalised muscle pain and fatigue which takes few weeks to recover.
I suggest you alter your exercise regimen to a less vigorous routine and do not over exert yourself.
I also suggest a high protein low fat diet to get your body rejuvinated after the illness.
Adequate amount of water is required per day to maintain hydration of the body.
I assure you you will regain the strength in a few weeks time.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks.
