Go to the doctor. Lyme disease usually has a rash to start where the deer tick bite you, only a blood test can determine if your anemic or not.
If there is a black dot with a red ring around it from a tick bite then there is a possibility of lime disease anemia can be detected from a blood test so call or ask your doctor.
Lyme disease has only one cause. The bite of a deer tick. If there’s no deer tick bite, you don’t have Lyme disease.
Also, there’s no such thing as chronic Lyme disease, so if the symptoms persist for a long period of time, you don’t have Lyme disease.
First off, there ABSOLUTELY IS such thing as chronic Lyme disease.
Until the late 1980′s, Lyme disease was very often misdiagnosed. If the infection remains untreated, the symptoms will persist (sometimes progressing and changing) indefinitely.
There is some overlap in symptoms between Lyme disease and anemia… and about half a million other conditions.
A good history is frequently enough to point your doc in the right direction. And then a few blood tests will be proof-positive that the doc is on the right track.
The smallest tick is the size of a poppy seed so we are not always aware of being bitten.
Research shows blood tests for Lyme Disease can miss up to 50% of cases.
Visit wwww.ilads.org and find Burrascano Guidelines in files and have a good read.
The controversy over diagnosis and treatment of Lyme Disease. Currently IDSA guidelines are under review presentations to the review panel can be seen at the above website. One thing is clear Lyme is not rare, simple to diagnose or easy to cure.
Best wishes in finding the cause of your illness.
