Lyme Disease Testing in Lemont

Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose without proper testing as it shares symptoms with many other diseases. Early stage Lyme disease has many flu-like symptoms including headache, fever, fatigue (malaise) and muscle soreness. The majority of people with Lyme disease do have the visible sign of Erythema Migrans (a bull’s-eye like rash) as the disease is transferred by a tick bite. However, the lack of the rash has led to many misdiagnosed cases.

Advanced Alternative Medcare has the knowledge and resources needed to fully test a person for Lyme disease. We have helped many people in Lemont. Contact Advanced Alternative Medcare for a comprehensive scientific evaluation and customized treatment plan.

Helpful Tips for Lyme disease

• Most importantly is if you find signs of Lyme disease you will need to see a professional as soon as possible. Treatment of Lyme disease is most effective if caught early. If you see a bull’s-eye like rash or if you are suffering from flu like symptoms then it is important to get tested.
• If you are worried about ticks then place wood shavings at the perimeter of your property. Ticks dislike walking on wood chips and this can help prevent ticks on your Lemont property.
