What are the symptoms of lyme disease (getting bit by a tick)?

by Symptom Advice on February 18, 2011

I was just curious if anyone knows anyone who has had lyme disease
and what their symptoms were?

Symptoms can vary from person to person and sometimes there are no symptoms at all.

In around 70-80% of cases, the first sign of infection is usually a rash known as erythema migrans. The rash appears between one and four weeks after the bite. It spreads gradually from the site of the tick bite and can cover much of the trunk of the body. other symptoms include:

•fatigue,
•chills,
•fever,
•headache, and
•aching muscles and joints,
•stiff neck, and
•swollen glands.

chronic fatigue (very tired) and fever for my friend
