Symptoms lyme disease
Some Symptoms lyme disease can mimic accelerated aging. When I turned 72, I found myself slowing down, my memory slipped a bit. I thought it was aging. After all what did I know? I had never been 72 before. A year passed and I realized that new symptoms were the same as I had experienced when I had lyme disease a few years ago. I got tested. Yes, that tick borne disease was back and as I got treated, I began to lose those deficits I had associated with aging.
Lyme disease is the great imitator. There are now studies showing that it can even appear to be MS or Parkinson's or ALS. And when the lyme was treated the other condition retreated! Testing for tick borne diseases is important. Not everyone gets the famous 'bulls eye rash" Many people never saw a tick because they were bitten by a tick in its nymph stage, when it is as small as a pepper grain.
If you or someone you care about begins to show or complain of any of the following symptoms, do suggest that they get a lyme titer test.
Cognitive Symptoms of lyme disease: Problems with short term memory, long term memory, confusion, difficulty thinking, not being able to concentrate, difficulties with reading or writing, slow or slurred speech, getting lost, feeling that they have 'brain fog', difficulty in performing simple tasks. Yes, many of these Symptoms of lyme disease are those we associate with senility or even Alzheimer's disease. Get a test for tick borne disease before assuming that it is some other serious condition.
