You Have No Idea How Some Lyme Disease Victims Can Suffer
We all know that coming down with lyme disease would be terrible. However, you may not know just how terrible, and even strange some symptoms of advanced lyme disease can become. Symptoms of lyme disease vary in seriousness from victim to victim. In cases where the bacteria that causes lyme disease reaches the nervous system, victims can develop neurological symptoms. Advanced lyme disease can lead to other related infections, such as Bartonella. If lyme disease progresses to these advanced stages, a victim’s nervous system will begin playing tricks on them. Once this occurs, victims develop a disease referred to as Neuroborrelliosis. For example, a victim of advanced Neuroborrelliosis may feel as though they are making physical contact with a particular object; but in reality, these victims are not making physical contact with anything at all. In other words, if lyme bacteria interferes with the human brain, victims can feel external sensations that are really internal.
Having to remind yourself that you are not actually touching a particular object would be a living nightmare. This is especially true if you believe that you are touching something that causes serious pain. Unfortunately, such false sensations are a reality for a certain amount of people suffering from lyme disease. Some sensations are experienced commonly among lyme victims, such as tingling sensations. These sensations often create the illusion that a lyme victim is being pricked with a needle or bitten by a bug. These sensations can be felt at any location on the body.
Imagine feeling as though you are missing a limb. Patients suffering from advanced lyme disease have reacted in horror to the feeling of numbness that gives the impression that an entire arm or leg is amputated. What is probably most horrifying, however, is the feeling of being burned by a live fire, or being frozen by ice cold water. These sensations can vary from feeling hot or cold, to full on burning, as though an arm is being held inside of a burning fireplace. Cold sensations, at their most extreme, can feel like gripping a handful of ice cubes without the ability to let go. These lyme disease symptoms would certainly be annoying to say the least. It is probably fair to say that you have never been as grateful to have your health as you are now.
After learning about these particularly awful lyme disease symptoms, do you feel determined to take measures to avoid contact with ticks? How do you prepare for tick-defense before venturing outdoors?
