Did you know that there are three stages of Lyme disease?
First Stage: Early Localized Lyme Disease
The first stage of Lyme disease begins in the first days or weeks after a tick bite has occurred. It typically takes between three and 30 days for any symptoms to start appearing, such as a rash.
In addition to finding a rash, you may feel like you have a bad case of the flu. Other common symptoms to look out for include:
Lethargy and fatigue
Muscle and joint pain
Fever
Headache
Chills
Stiff neck
Swollen lymph nodes
Ideally, Lyme disease is caught during this initial stage.
Second Stage: Early Disseminated Lyme Disease
If not detected and treated during the first stage of Lyme disease, it can develop into an early disseminated infection. This stage takes place about one to four months after the initial infection.
You’ll likely still have flu-like symptoms that make you feel tired, achy, and feverish. You may also still have a rash, which can even multiply and spread to other areas of your skin.
Third Stage: Late Disseminated Lyme Disease
The final, and most severe, stage of Lyme disease is the late disseminated stage. At this point, the infection is now considered chronic, and the harmful bacteria has made its way throughout the rest of your body.
If you believe you have Lyme disease, contact Premier Health and Holistic Medicine today!
Your gut is an ecosystem containing trillions of microorganisms that have an impact on your overall health and well-being. When in good balance, your gut microbiome supports healthy bodily functions and keeps you feeling at your best. However, too much bad gut bacteria can slow down digestion, make you feel sluggish, and even contribute to depression and other chronic health issues.
