What Is Chronic Lyme Disease
Last week, Bella Hadid was canada goose womens outlet honored canada goose outlet toronto for her work raising awareness for Lyme disease at the Global Lyme Alliance’s second annual Uniting for a Lyme Free World gala. As any Real Housewives canada goose outlet new york city of Beverly Hills fan knows, Bella’s mother Yolanda was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, and she’s been dealing with complications ever since. (You may remember Gigi Hadid honoring her mother’s Lyme disease battleat the event last year.)Bella and her brother Anwar were diagnosed shortly afterward, and they also continue to be treated for Lyme disease. At the canada goose outlet vip event, Bella told Us Weekly what it’s like to live with Lyme: “Usually I’ll wake up from some kind of bone pain, then have to canada goose outlet fall back asleep,” she said.What is Lyme disease and how do you get canada goose outlet store new york it?According to the CDC, Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria called canada goose outlet toronto address Borrelia burgdorferi, which is carried by black legged ticks. If you get bitten by a tick carrying the bacteria, you get the disease. Early signs of infection include fever, chills, headache, fatigue, muscle canada goose outlet las vegas and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes, as well as a distinctive bulls eye shaped rash called Erythema migrans (EM). Seventy to 80 percent of people who get Lyme disease show symptoms within the first 30 days, canada goose outlet real but some don’t realize they’ve been infected for months afterward, like the Hadids. here), you probably won’t be tested for Lyme disease. While there are blood canada goose outlet reviews tests that check for antibodies that indicate canada goose outlet online a person has been infected, they are not usually used in diagnosing the canada goose outlet houston disease because official canada goose outlet sometimes people who have been recently infected may not have antibodies yet. Once it’s determined that someone has Lyme, antibiotics usually take care of it within two to four weeks.But what about “chronic Lyme disease”?The thing that makes the Hadids’ Lyme disease canada goose outlet black friday different from what’s described above is that they’re still dealing with it, even after antibiotic treatment. Here’s https://www.winterdownparkas.com where things get complicated: the Hadids explain what they have as “chronic Lyme disease.” Chronic Lyme disease, however, is not a medical diagnosis and there has been some controversy over whether the condition is canada goose outlet miami legit or not. It isn’t a specific diagnosis it’s more of a patient impression or concern that the doctor needs to figure out. A lot of times it has nothing to do with Lyme disease because the patient just doesn’t feel well and doesn’t know why.” Since the symptoms of untreated Lyme disease are pretty general (pain, fatigue, cognitive issues), it can be really hard to spot a real case. According to Dr. Aucott says. Still, there aren’t any medical tests that can prove you have it. When figuring out if someone has the condition or not, Dr. Aucott says “the key thing is that they were healthy, they got Lyme disease, they were treated, but never restored their health canada goose outlet locations in toronto to their former healthy self. Basically, “they remained canada goose outlet new york ill with this typical constellation of symptoms that includes fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, and cognitive complaints, such as short term memory loss and difficulty concentrating.” The canada goose outlet shop really scary thing about post treatment Lyme disease is that there is currently no way to treat it. While studies looked into the possibility of long term intravenous antibiotics as a way to combat canada goose outlet toronto location the disease, this was found to be ineffective. Dr. That’s why the illness is so controversial. Nobody really knows the best way to treat it. It doesn’t look like intravenous antibiotics are the way to treat it, but we don’t know about other treatments because they haven’t canada goose outlet eu been studied.”The current Lyme canada goose outlet montreal disease crisisSo basically we have a disease that is real, but is super hard to diagnose, is widely confused with other conditions and is also impossible to cure. It’s really a huge problem. “This highlights the really urgent need to increase the research in this field,” says Dr. Aucott, “because Lyme disease is canada goose outlet in vancouver spreading geographically and the numbers are increasing. canada goose outlet washington dc Aucott points out that “Lyme disease keeps getting bumped off the radar screen by one high profile disease after another (hello, Zika!). It’s honestly a very insidious illness that chronically debilitates people, but they don’t die,” canada goose outlet factory like patients of other diseases do. As with depression, it’s an illness where people may look fine from the outside, but they’re disabled by the symptoms, he explains. As of now, the biggest roadblock to more research is a lack of funding, and until more awareness is created, that funding won’t be possible. (If you’re concerned, here are 6 ways to protect yourself from ticks.) Dr. Aucott says canada goose premium outlet that high season for ticks transmitting the disease is during the summer, since the new stage ticks are very tiny and hard to see, but he says there’s also a “second, smaller peak in the fall when the adult ticks are feeding, so we always see a second surge of cases in the fall.” And don’t freak out the majority of people who get Lyme disease are totally fine after antibiotics, canada goose outlet online uk but for the few who do deal with it on a chronic level, we hope a cure is found very, very soon.
