Was Lyme disease now tick born disease

[Guest guest]

Update: I took my dh to the emergency room this morning. It's been a

long time since we have been to a doctor and the experience was very

good! They did a CBC and a CMP and some other tests that we will get

the results back in a few days. Everything was normal except the white

cell count. It was a little off. They did not say what it was. I asked

for copies and was told that they could only give copies to an MD.

They suspect a bacterial infection from the tick bite but don't think

it is Lyme disease (suggested rock mountain spotted fever) so they put

him on 100mg capsules of Doxycycline 2x a day. We are continuing 3 T

of CS daily and will take a strong acidophilus. Day 4 and he is still

running a fever, not eating, in bed all day and all night. He loves to

read and has not been doing that. He likes TV too but has not done

that. Has lost 11-12 lbs. He only weighted 180 when this stated. So we

are very concerned. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I dont' know exactly. I would post your question on these list for ideas.

Tick bites can lead to arthritis down the road. Learn what you can now to

prevent it.

A lot of people with a lot of info to offer.

I feel your concern, thanks so much. I believe he is better today! It

will be amazing if he is.

I have learned that all ppl should take antobiotics *everytime* they

get a tick bite. The tick bite does not have to affect you right away.

It can happen down the road anytime. Don't wait!
