Integrative Medicine for Lyme Disease and Co-Infections in Austin, TX
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection transmitted by ticks that can cause flu-like symptoms, joint pain, and a characteristic rash. It is more common than many people realize and can be challenging to diagnose with blood tests alone. If left untreated, Lyme disease can progress into a chronic condition that causes severe joint pain, heart problems, and cognitive impairment. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term complications.
Could you have Lyme Disease?
Diagnosing Lyme disease can be tricky. Many people go undiagnosed and may be living with long-term symptoms without realizing Lyme disease is to blame for their dysfunction. What they believe in chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or migraines can actually be caused by an untreated Lyme disease infection.
A Negative Lyme Disease Test Doesn't Guarantee You're Infection-Free
Lyme disease blood tests aren’t foolproof and have limited accuracy. A negative test in the past doesn’t confirm your infection-free state. Stay alert!
