See "Understand Lyme Disease Symptoms" below for a quick explanation of Lyme disease and what you can do to put an end to it.
Symptoms
The symptoms of Lyme disease are numerous. The one’s listed below are extremely common and cause lots of suffering. It is possible to reduce or eliminate them when they are properly diagnosed and treated.
Consequences
Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of an infected tick or other rodent, and is possibly passed on sexually and from mother to child during pregnancy.
A Lyme infection is caused by numerous species of bacteria which use the tick as a host.
In the U.S. the two bacteria which cause Lyme disease are Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia miyamotoi. There are slightly different species found to cause Lyme disease in Asia and Europe.
The consequences of Lyme disease range from general malaise to enormously disabling symptoms.
It is important to treat Lyme disease as early as possible to avoid devastating consequences and even disability.
What you can do
Give yourself the opportunity to tell the doctor what you have been experiencing and how it got to this stage.
Based on that conversation and the results of your labs, the nature, degree and source of your health issues will be determined.
An individualized treatment plan will be recommended, started and adjusted as needed based on your feedback to the doctor during treatment until you are happy and healthy again.

Indigo Integrative Health Clinic is a medical practice staffed with doctors who care.
It is not the typical “medical factory” where you sit in a giant waiting room filling out forms before you are seen by a harried doctor who spends five minutes with you and sends you off with a pharmaceutical prescription. Indigo’s doctors do a true consultation with you as a collaborator in your own health care.
A typical new patient consultation lasts 90 minutes. It consists of the opportunity for you to describe in detail your symptoms, how those symptoms make you feel and how having them affects your life.
At Indigo we treat the whole person, NOT just your symptoms. Integrative medicine differs from most conventional medical practices in that identifying the cause of the symptoms is the primary focus of the diagnostic efforts.
Treatment is designed to address the root cause, not just to interrupt, or mask the symptoms. If your goal is to return to a state of vibrant health, make an appointment to see our doctors and get the correct diagnosis, treatment and care you deserve.
