Symptoms of Lyme Disease

Transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, Lyme Disease is an infection that, if left untreated, can cause serious pain, fatigue, and other crippling symptoms. Despite its most common symptom—a bullseye-shaped skin rash that spreads around the site of the tick bite—Lyme Disease is extremely easy to misdiagnose, given that its other symptoms are so similar to those of more common illnesses.

Common symptoms of Lyme Disease include: 

Extreme fatigue
Joint swelling
Muscle Pain
Decline in cognitive abilities
Fever
Trouble sleeping
Sensitivity to light
Headaches
Dizziness
Shortness of breath

Dr. Fong showed me that you CAN get better and have symptom free days again! Thank you, Dr. Fong, for everything!”

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you diagnose Lyme Disease?

At Sierra Integrative Medical Center, we diagnose disease using a combination of laboratory tests and assessments. What’s more, rather than diagnosing your condition based on a “pattern of symptoms” as is traditionally done, our infectious disease doctors will focus on the underlying origin of your symptoms. This allows us to design an individualized treatment plan made to address the true cause of your illness, whether it’s from a viral or bacterial infection, hypersensitivity, toxoplasmosis, or, in the case of Lyme Disease, a tick bite.

Can Lyme Disease be cured?

Yes. Lyme Disease can be cured using combination treatments, even among patients who report experiencing symptoms of pain, fatigue, or difficulty thinking.

Can I have Lyme Disease without a rash?
