Hi, I got bit by a tick about 7 months ago. I never had the rash, but I always feel slight discomfort where the bite was.

I've noticed a slight blurness sometimes in vision and my eyes went black and very sore for about a week (that was 1 1/2 months ago).

Also I can't keep my arms/legs completely still, they shake a little.

Other than that I am very healthy and in decent shape.

18/M

Thanks.

Welcome to lymenet! It would be wise to be evaluated by a lyme literate md. They are generally self-educated about TBI( tick borne infection) and can be any kind of Dr. Go to seaking a Dr. for help.

My bite site, I thought it was a spider bite because I didn't see the beast, was tender for many months. Blurry vision and tingly fingers were my first two symptoms.

Lyme is a disease of the central nervious system so anything neuological could be connected. GOOD, early treatment and your prognosis will be good, young healthy male is a good thing.

My son is seventeen now, he has made the best progress of all of us in the family. Yes, we all have it.

Rest and be well-- and find a llmd asap.

Shaky legs and arms were some of my first symptoms too. I would send your blood work in now and start treatment immediately ... just to be on the safe side.

Hi,

I brushed a tick from behind my ear with my hand...didn't even have to remove it- think it just nipped me for a millisecond on the finger

no rash- first symptom was a shake in my hand and then arthritic feelings in my hands and joints soon afterwards-

I've been fighting this for a year and a half- and making progress!

Definitely see a lyme literate Dr as soon as you can-


Best- Sarah

Welcome to this 24/7 LYME support group board!

Here's TREEPATROL's and Tincup's combination newbie links.

http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/029917.html

Print off the links then check them off as you read as you could spend
several months reading all of this.

print & read Dr. Barrascono's 2005 info first; you will come back to this
often.

Extensive info in Treepatrol's newbie links about the meaning of WESTERN BLOT IGM/IGG test results from Igenex! Be sure to read or print this info IF Igenex tested you ok!

Also, see Cheryl's extensive web sites on: LD DIAGNOSIS, SYMPTOMS, & TREATMENT ... wonderful! Read the area on CO-INFECTIONS! You
could have from 1-12 other illnesses that tick is carrying...lyme, malaria, etc.

If you are showing symptoms of co-infections, I would like to suggest being tested for co-infections when you have LYME western blots done. It isn't
cheap!! But if you are positive, you can treat the co-infections first, and then work on LYME symptoms.

EYE SENSITIVIES & NOIR, no infrared sunglasses info., 2-28-06 updated

YES, I have what you have! Are you on doxy too? That made my extreme eyes
200% MORE sensitive than they we were earlier.
I learned a lot about eye sensitivity/lighting on
www.marshallprotocol.com board.
Look for AUSSIE BARB'S EAST FINDER and then eyes/sunglasses, etc.
Wealth of info there.

I ordered the NOIR sunglasses. 2-26-06 corrected wrong email to:
http://www.noir-medical.com/noir_amber.htm

You will need 2% amber and 10% amber ... Style no. 901 and 910.
1-800-521-9746 TOLL- FREE

mention you have lyme and marshall protocol, they will give you 20% off!
Also they have been kind enough to replace the SCRATCHED LENSES & BROKEN BOWS! How's that for service?

I don't drive often at night, but I can wear NOIR's 901 lenses at night while
driving; it creates soft candle lights coming at me...tolerable. NOT to wear in
town with all the action of people crossing where they shouldn't be, etc.

from LOU to Betty on LONG web links and Thank You Lou!:
"If you hit the return key in the middle of a link, I don't think it will be clickable anymore. An alternative that maybe Betty should be telling people about is the tiny url website. I have it on my tool bar at the top of the page and use it for
those incredablylongwebsiteaddresses.

All you have to do is ask tiny url to produce a short version, which it will do with a unique address, which you then use instead in your post. Works just the same when clicked! Here is the website, spread the word!

http://tinyurl.com/

3-1-06, fyi, I tried dragging tinyurl to my toolbar without success, so that's why I currently have LONG addresses vs. short tiny ones! I'll keep trying.
