Stiff neck, fever, headache, sleeping disorders, brain wave commotions, muscle aches from time to time, fatigue and rashes/bruises are the signs of early stage of Lyme disease.

If not treated immediately, it may further lead to symptoms such as; visibly increased fatigue, migraines or severe form of headache, flu-like symptoms, pain in the muscles, fever, vision changes and bull’s eye rashes.

By the way, does this patient have a farm with poultry in it? Because, black-legged tick (that carry bacteria like Borrelia Burgdorferi) lives on small animals and when they bite humans, the bacteria gets transmitted to the body causing Lyme disease.
