Borreliosis – Symptoms and Treatment
It’s over five weeks ago now that I got bitten by a tick, just like other times before, but this time the bite lead to a borreliosis infection. Luckily with Melanie’s help I found out what I had early enough to get it treated, so it seems I’ll get over this without any further damage, even though having and treating borreliosis is a pain in the neck.
The most obvious syptom can be the typical tick bite itching, then starting to become sore and about the size of a 1 Euro coin; after a while a red ring begins to appear around the bite. You can find lot’s of photographic examples of this in the web. If you have anything like this just go to a doctors and get yourself treated, as obviously something is wrong. Not always though is this picture as clear, does this ring appear as obviously; or as in my case you don’t realize for a while you’ve been infected by a tick because it somehow got brushed off you, it’s stomach-fluids being squeezed into you in the process.
I got bitten over five weeks ago now and I have been taking anti-biotics for 8 days with another 10 to 12 days to go. It was about 10 days after I was probably bitten when the other symptoms started to menace with me. The bite it’s-self had stopped ithching and because it was on my backside it slipped from my awareness, I did’t notice it changing. I began to feel depressed and emotionally instable, overreacting to slight incidents that wouldn’t usually bother me; also I got more and more tired, found it increasingly difficult to get up in the morning and would wake up every night wet from sweating. I realized something was going on but didn’t put things together, instead I wondered why I was getting so edgy and thought I might just need a break. During the two and a half weeks of having the symptoms until I realized what it was and went to the doctors I had a few restless nights with diarrhea that would normalize during the first hours after getting up. Last of all I got pains in some of my joints and tension-pain in neck and back muscles.
Still I was doing my everyday thing and working-out aswell. These things went ok but I was extremely tired later on. The symptoms weren’t that obvious in the day time, which is why I didn’t realize I was getting borreliosis but thought I might of been working to much or something like that. Then the weekend before last Melanie noticed this by now obvious spot with the red ring around it and told me to go to the doctors. I began to put the symptoms of the last few weeks together in my head and it became clear why all this had been happening. First thing Monday morning I went to the doc.
Borreliosis can cause severe damage to the functioning of your body if it is not treated in time. You can read all about this on the web. If you get treatment while the symptoms are as discribed though the cahances to get rid of these nasty little bacteria are very high. I would not hesitate to take antibiotics if borreliosis is diagnosed because I don`t think it’s worth the risk. Though I am no-one who usually uses this kind of medicament and I shall go to some effort to recultivate a healthy flora in my intestine after finishing taking the antibiotic.
In future you can protect yourself from ticks with etheric oils like lavender-oil or as I usually do (but didn’t at the time) rub tiger-balm on your skin. Also coconut-fat or -oil is supposed to be a great repellant because it has an ingredient that bugs and ticks don’t like the smell of. Then of course you should check yourself for ticks if you’ve been out in tick country and have yourself checked again by someone else. If you do have a tick already stuck in your skin, you can use a tick-card to carefully slide the tick out without sqeezing it. The tick needs 12 to 24 hours in your skin before it can begin exchanging body-fluid and give you what it’s got.
So if you are aware of what can happen and take it seriously there is enough you can do and no reason to be worried about going outside. If you’ve read this post you are more aware than I was when I got bitten. So you can prevent or deal with whatever. So do enjoy being out in the sticks. But if you do develope some of the symptoms I mentioned above please have yourself checked so that you can carry on enjoying
GET OUTSIDE AND MOVE TO YOUR ROOTS!
