I am very sorry to hear about your diagnose. I was bitten twice in the last 3 years by a tick. I have a super dumb question if they couldn't get the tick out does this mean the tick is inside me spreading eggs all the way? I am on my first week of antibiotics but my entire body cracks and pain everywhere soecially my joints. Do we have any home made remedies. I have advance arthritis. Thanks a lot

Welcome @soniaole26, The only dumb questions are the ones we don't ask when we are trying to learn what's going on with our bodies. Hopefully this will provide some answers for you.

"Ticks don't burrow completely under the skin, but parts of their head can become lodged under the skin as they feed. They will attach to a host for up to 10 days, falling off when they are too full to cling on any longer. Tick bites are most dangerous not from the bite itself, but from the diseases ticks can transmit."
