My husband and I went hiking this week in the woods ... It was on Monday. Of course after I made us check for ticks, but he didn't do a good job checking my hair. I tried to show him how and he didn't take me seriously, just said "You don't have any ticks." and walked away. ugh.
So moving on to today, I feel like I am getting sick... you know, run down, hot flashes on and off, dizzy, glands a little swollen. I keep thinking ... I was home all week because my job starts next week and school is over ... I wasn't around anybody sick, so where could I pick it up? Then I thought about the hike. I don't see a rash, but the first time my dad had Lyme he didn't see a rash either.
Also have been having some pain in my knee joints. I originally attributed it to doing a lot of squats at the gym and what not, but of course now that Lyme is in my head I am thinking it is a symptom. I've been doing squats all year and just started getting knee pain this week.
I know my head says, just wait and see if it goes away like a cold or sticks around and then go to the doctor. But part of me is afraid I will wake up paralyzed or something, which happened to another person I know.
I know the reassurance-seeking posts can be annoying, so I apologize to anybody who this bothers. I just don't want to google and am trying to think logically.
