How do I know if I have Lyme Disease?
What signs or symptoms may make you suspect you may have Lyme Disease. People who have experience in Lyme Disease offer advice of what things may make you suspicious and which doctor you should go to to receive treatment
A lot of people start feeling unwell. Some symptoms are very flu-like. Some people get a bull's-eye rash. Even others have symptoms such as excruciating headaches, joint pain, brain fog, etc.

Talk to someone that has the diagnosis. There will be so many shared symptoms that you'll know you're not crazy. Getting a diagnosis and treatment is expensive and usually makes people feel worse. You can live with this disease of you make the necessary lifestyle changes.

Symptoms are varied; too many to list here. Lyme is the 'great imitator' and can resemble many illnesses/conditions. Among the most helpful tip is to look at Fibromyalgia and MS symptoms as they are often similar. Most Lyme is clinically diagnosed by a qualified practitioner (MD, ND), not through blood tests and certainly not by an infectious disease 'specialist' (with the possible exception of acute infection in its earliest stages).

Symptoms and a clinical dx

Due to fact that the test are stongly unreliable, the best way to diagnose is to check-up your symptoms and the good LLMD treats you by symptoms, not by tests. My advise is to go and fill-in the "Horrowitz questionnaire" which diagnoses Lyme disease simply by symptoms, successfully for more than 20 years. Just google it ;)

A bulls eye rash but not always, flu like symptoms and many others. There is a huge list. Get tested through primary and if positive go to an llmd.

Well if it’s only Lyme you can go for years having no clue and the person on the side of you is headed to the hospital. If you get symptoms right away look for flu like symptoms, a bullseye rash, a tick, hip pain, neck and back pain, migraines, and interstitial cystitis love to show their ugly fave first usually. Others can occur too

Download webmd. Sadly that’s where I got my first diagnosis. DO NOT USE THE ELISA OR WESTERN BLOT. They are meant for you to fail. Use Igenix which the basic test is covered for Medicare patients. Everything else, including co-infections, is out of pocket. I’d do Co-infections through DNA Connextions or Armin Labs.

History.
Tests.
Clinical diagnosis.
There is a great questionnaire by Dr. Horowitz that can help point you in the right direction.

if the symptoms are similar to those associated with Lyme, the fastest way to deconfirmar the suspect is using the ELISA test
