or does this mean that i definitely have lyme?
they definitely did not appear as part of the aging process, as I am only 18.

Also, how common are cases in which babs is the only infection that a tick transmits to its host?

Hope you're all feeling well today,
Adam

Floaters can be caused by many different things, including age, or other eye conditions. It is not just Lyme and Babs that cause them and it doesn't mean you definitely have Lyme, but it is definitely a possible symptom and is common in Lyme.
I have many myself, which I hope isn't due to age because I am still really young!

I had floaters for years before my lyme and other co-infections were addressed.

Thankfully after treatment this symptom has resolved.

Feel better.

I have such bad floaters to the point it interferes with my vision constantly... yuck.

Hopefully it will go away! [Big Grin]

I keep hearing stories of it resolving with treatment! Very exciting.
