Aching & fatigue after insect bite?

Keep in mind, Lyme-infected ticks can be as small as a grain of sand. If symptoms persist or worsen, I suggest you see a Lyme-literate doctor (ILADS.org can help find one in your area) and be tested 'properly' for Lyme. Our family has battled Lyme for 5 years. The usual test in doctors' offices often comes back negative or etc .. and thanks to CDC is very antiquated. We were finally diagnosed thru IGENEX labs.

Thanks, Dianne. I will keep that in mind. I live in Oregon, in the big city, have no animals, and don't go out in nature except in my back yard and the neighborhood playground with my grandkids, so I think I'm at very low risk for Lyme. Have never seen a tick. I'm sorry you've had such a struggle with it; I have heard stories and know it's a tough one. Best of luck to you and your family!
