Does anyone have or has had lyme disease? What does it do to you?


lyme disease can be misdiagnosed and can be diagnosed as fibermiagia and bell pausy. Doctors say it is carried by ticks that are infected. You can have symptoms like numbness in you facial muscles (Bell-Pausy ). You can have headaches, a rash in the earlier stage, weakness in the muscles enabling you to walk or speak properly. My grandfather was diagnosed with the diseases fibermiagia and bellpausy. Fibermiagia is a disease that comes and goes it makes it painful to walk and memory loss is normal. Bell-Pausy numbs you facial muscles which makes it hard to drink without a straw and it makes it hard to eat and talk. I done a lot of research and have learned a lot of things and i saw that my notes on bellpausy and fibermiagia were the same in the sympotoms as Lyme disease. So I was wondering if anyone who does have Lyme disease has ever fully recovered and what it is like to have Lyme Disease. So If you have lyme disease what does it feel like and does it hurt when you get treated?

Lyme Disease Treatment and Prognosis--

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has funded several studies on the treatment of Lyme disease. These studies have shown that most patients can be cured with a few weeks of antibiotics taken by mouth. Antibiotics commonly used for oral treatment include doxycycline, amoxicillin, or cefuroxime axetil. Patients with certain neurological or cardiac forms of illness may require intravenous treatment with drugs such as ceftriaxone or penicillin.


Patients treated with antibiotics in the early stages of the infection usually recover rapidly and completely. A few patients, particularly those diagnosed with later stages of disease, may have persistent or recurrent symptoms. These patients may benefit from a second 4-week course of therapy.

I don't think it hurts, only oral/ parenteral antibiotic therapy is given usually.
Good luck!
