When I was 8-10 years old, I was bitten by 3 ticks, all at different times different locations. Nothing immediately happened. I don’t think Lyme disease was as known then as it is now. I’m 41, and experiencing a lot of symptoms connecting me to Lyme disease. I do have Hashimoto’s disease and thought at first my symptoms were related to it. I’ve always been easily able to manage with adjustments in my medications. Lately, nothing is helping. All of my test results come back normal, so I know I must be dealing with something else.
I’ve been reading that Lyme disease can lie dormant for years until triggered. I’m experiencing significant exhaustion/ fatigue, memory loss (brain fog is at an all time high!), depression is up, sleep is not happening even with sleep aids/medication.
Anybody else had symptoms manifest many years later? What steps did you take to get diagnosed correctly? And what was your treatment?
