Where Is There A Cure For Lyme Disease

By Enid Hinton


Campers, hikers, fishermen and most other outdoors enthusiasts are very aware of the dangers surrounding tick bites. Even those that do not carry viral and microbial infections that they pass on to their hosts can create severe discomfort for any victim they encounter. To that end many people ask is there a cure for Lyme disease when speaking to their doctors.

Knowledge of symptoms of this malady will prepare most people for the worst should they get bitten by a tick. Early identification of problems is beneficial for treatment and curing the patient. After removing the tick you may notice a rash at the injury site. This rash will grow and a line of irritation will separate from the initial lesion creating the appearance of a bulls eye. It will not itch or feel sore but it will be warm to the touch. It will disappear within a few days and reappear later.

Early symptoms include fatigue, fever, cold chills, head and body pains and swollen, sore lymph nodes. These symptoms are transient and occur and disappear often. Many times victims ignore them and this can make diagnosis and treatment difficult for professionals. The sooner you advise your doctor that you have been bitten by a tick the sooner you can be treated for problems that have arisen from the bite.

More rashes may occur on other parts of your body as time passes and you may experience Bell's Palsy, a condition that causes the facial muscles to dissipate and weaken. Inflammation in the spinal cord will cause severe neck and head pain and random sharp pain may disturb sleep. These symptoms will eventually stop whether you seek treatment or not. Unfortunately, those who do not get treatment can suffer other more serious symptoms.

Untreated cases experience severe arthritis pain and swelling in knees, hips and other large joints. Loss of short term memory and other neurological problems in over five percent of the people who receive no treatment for their tick bites. These chronic ailments may include numbness in hands and feet as well as sharp reoccurring pains in the head and body.

The treatment for this disease includes long term dosage of anti biotic. Those who receive early treatment can expect to recover completely. The anti biotic can be administered orally or through injection for a period lasting over thirty days. Health problems arise in those who require longer term treatment.

There is a limit to how much anti biotic can be administered to a patient legally and those with chronic Lyme symptoms will be denied treatment by doctors and coverage by health insurance. There are natural treatments that may be helpful to combat the symptoms of pain and memory loss. Most ingredients involve raw fruits and vegetables that work as natural anti bodies that can kill and flush the infection from your body.

Early detection of the disease is the surest way to assure complete recovery of this ailment. The more information you have on the subject the sooner you will know when to seek help from a physician.
