I need a list for everything you guys can possibly think of. Post it all here so I can copy and paste it. I'm using this to create a chart for all the symptoms and conditions which patients with Lyme Disease may experience.

Here is what I have so far. If any of these is redundant, let me know.
I'm doing one for Children too. I need lists for that as well. The lists I have presently for children are by Dr. Jones, but I'm sure it's incomplete.
Charles Ray Jones, MD, compiled a list of common symptoms of infection in his young patients:
Abdominal pain Being overwhelmed by schoolwork Confusion Difficulty thinking and expressing thoughts Difficulty reading and writing Dizziness Difficulty making decisions Fevers/chills Headaches Inability to sustain attention Insomnia Joint pain Light sensitivity Mood swings Noise sensitivity Nausea, Outbursts Poor short-term memory Severe fatigue unrelieved by rest Uncharacteristic behavior
Dr. Jones has also documented congenital, or gestational, Lyme disease in some children who were infected in utero or by breastfeeding. In these patients his suspicion is raised when the child has:
cataracts and other eye problems developmental delay frequent fevers gastroesophageal reflux increased incidence of ear and throat infections increased incidence of pneumonia irritability joint and body pain learning disabilities poor muscle tone psychiatric problems small windpipe (tracheomalacia)

The list is coming along nice. I just want to make sure I don't miss anything (I likely will since so many new things are coming out)

mike,
my friend, you are reinventing the wheel; the list does exist, and ART DOUGHERTY put it together many years ago.
DO A GOOGLE OF ART DOUGHERTY; 300 other illnesses mimic lyme. if he took it down; look for his other info as he has some redundant things called another name!
