Hi everyone,
Having a bit of a panic over this today. I have looked it up and woried I may have the late stage of it. I had this funny spot on my leg about 8ish years ago (I think although it could have been more recent) and it was pussy and sore and got bigger in a circle and left me with a nasty scar about 5mm across.
I now think it was a tick bite as I lived on a farm so very likely. It also matches the descriptions of a Lyme tick bite. Did not go to docs at time. Now I am worried it could be Lyme Disease as I looked up the neurological symptoms and have been having random shooting / nerve type pains arond my body and carpal tunnel like symptoms in my hands and arms. I have also got a pain going up my breast bone into my jaw and teeth (like a nerve pain) and have also got sciatic pain down my legs.
I just had a deep tissue massage and the therapist said I was so tense and it could cause all sorts of sensations.
I just wondered if anyone could offer any reassurance? I read that Lyme can come out 'years' after a bit but not sure how many?
Staring to feel my heart rate go up again and my boyfriend is getting fed up with me...!
Sx
