Re: Hi all new mom to the group

[Guest guest]

My own personal answer to that is a most definite YES. Though the first time

infected took about a week before symptoms when I was bit just a year later and

reinfected it was only a matter of a day or two. Second time did leave a

tell-tale rash/bulls-eye. First time did not. A rash is not always present, as I

learned.

The longer you wait for treatment the harder it is to treat because it can enter

vital organs and the brain where the body's lymphatic systems can prevent

antibiotic treatment from being as effective.

Not trying to alarm you. I salute you for taking this much action now. But, do

get busy on the proper tests and protocols a.s.a.p. for the sake of peace of

mind, if for no other eventuality.

I'll send a few angels. This is far hard enough on adults like me, much more so

where the sake of a child is concerned.

I've been lurking here for a couple weeks. I wasn't sure what to say.

In November my husband and I took our two boys to the California coast near

Gualala, Ca.

While there the first day my oldest son found a very tiny tick on him. I

beleive it was a deer tick nymph. It was on his pants leg and we didnt think

much of it. It didnt bite him as far as we could tell but later that evening he

became ill feeling. He went and laid down and had severe fatigue and night

sweats all night long. We figured he had gotten a 24 hour flu and the following

morning he felt better.

The next day we headed for home and suddenly from the back seat he screamed that

something had just bit him. We pulled the car over and sure enough the was a

deer tick that had bit his stomach, not once but twice. I took pics a week later

and the bite marks were still there but no rash.

After that he started complaining of " body pain " he said his whole body hurt and

he was very tired feeling. He said his bones hurt.

I took him to the dr. and they did western blot test and it came back negative

but his sedimentation rate was very elevated. Dr. then ordered Epstein Barr test

and it came back positive. Dr. said he has mononeucleosis.

My question is can lyme make you instantly sick? or was the illness he

originally had unrelated? It's all confusing. Any info or input would be greatly

appreciated.

Thanks

Dear Angel -

Everyone is different to what the immune system will do after you get

bit........I was very ill after my bit over 25 years ago and they played that

off as a really bad case of mono........a mono that never went away.  Please

find a LLMD in your area and get some correct testing done........a LLMD will

know what real tests for you to get done.  The sooner the better....trust

me...with myself and my three girls battling this disease the sooner the

better!!

YES! My dad was bit in Mammoth, CA and immediately got flu-like symptoms while

he was still up there on his fishing trip.

I grew up near Mammoth, CA, from birth till leaving home at 18. But I got bit on

the coast, near Santa Cruz.

Mendocino County, were Gualala is, is Ground Zero for Lyme in California. The

worst patch of all in inland from there, near Ukiah, where Phyllis Mervine

lives. (I used to own some property just a few parcels over from her.) A lot of

folks in Mendo have been struggling with this for decades.
