Here is a good comparison of symptoms from Dr. H's blog article: (I split it up for easier reading.) "The symptoms of COVID and Lyme disease resemble each other, because in both illnesses the 3 I’s, infections, inflammation, and immune dysfunction, are at the root cause of both acute and chronic manifestations. The differences clinically are primarily around Lyme having a migratory component to pain (not seen in COVID)[1], with symptoms that come and go, responding or worsening (Herxheimer reaction) with antibiotics. The Delta variant also caused a loss of sense of smell and/or taste, which is usually seen with viral infections and neurodegenerative illness like Alzheimer’s dementia." -------------------- Ann-OH

More: " Both diseases have acute and chronic forms with clinical pictures that strongly resemble each other, with imperfect testing strategies. Lyme and COVID can lead to acute and/or chronic fatiguing, musculoskeletal illnesses, and neuropsychiatric difficulties, with similar multisystemic manifestations. These include fevers, sore throats, headaches, hair loss, chest pain, shortness of breath, gastrointestinal complaints, joint/muscle/and nerve pain, brain fog, insomnia, dizziness, palpitations, anxiety, depression and on rare occasions, even psychosis. Establishing a proper diagnosis for both illnesses is essential because both diseases mimic each other, can simultaneously exist, and treatments are completely different.
