I was diagnosed with Lyme dz 31 yrs ago. Improperly treated with wrong antibiotic. Later diagnosed with Morgellons. And, Delusional parasitoses twice. I gave up on being helped by doctors years ago. I'm so sick and miserable. I'm 58 and nearly bedridden. My cries for help have fallen on Deaf ears, so I no longer have the energy to talk about it. I'm still treated like a head case. I'm college educated, and lost my career as an RN. I've never been wealthy, so no out of pocket money for the long term treatment plan. If anyone has any sound advice please share it. 🙏
I got lyme. I wore long sleeves, socks tucked in and all. I'd even have my roommate check my body when I returned. But I never used any chemicals/lotions/sprays. I must have gotten bit on my scalp or someplace else hard to find because after a few days of being sick with fever and aches my body was covered in the bullseye rash. I got rushed to the hospital and had a long recovery. This was about 5 years ago and I haven't really been the same health wise. I believe John Hopkins put out an article on chronic Lyme symptoms validating it's existence last spring. Regardless, use all precautions you can and don't think it couldn't happen to you. This might not kill you but it could change your lifestyle. Thanks PBS vitals for this video and hopefully we can get that vaccine developed or use scientists knowledge and efforts to avoid getting Lyme. Question though, is there any interest talking about chronic symptoms that can come from things like lyme? Thanks again.
Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Long-term Lyme disease is a subject all its own. No question a good number of people have long-term issues, especially when it's not treated promptly at first. We don't want to just skim the surface on the tricky questions about what treatments may or may not help, but we might dig in for a future episode.
@@pbsvitals for your long episode, I’d personally love to hear about long-term Lyme! If you feel like making an extra long video, long-term diseases (like long COVID) in general is very interesting. Lots of diseases have long term health effects after the initial infection is treated. It would be really cool to learn about which diseases have a potential to cause long term health effects and a general synopsis about what the most common effect are.
I've had Lyme disease three times, despite precautions every time. The first time was at a festival in Tidewater Virginia, in 2005, and it was inadequately treated; I suffered for months. Eventually, it cleared up, but not before doing damage to the vertebrae in my neck. My second case was in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and caught early; I was treated. The third case was in suburban Maryland, walking around in my backyard after my second cervical spine surgery. I was following doctor's orders, and got Lyme disease in my backyard! It took 2 months of doxy to clear it up, but eventually it did. Lyme disease is not a joke, and I am glad it's being talked about more. Stay safe everyone.
I got lyme disease in Central Texas. The misconception that is only happens in the Northeast kept me from getting treatment when I still had the bullseye rash. It took 11 years to get diagnosed , and I lost my 20's. I had to drop out of college. I have chronic pain, joint, and nerve damage. Doctors here still believe lyme disease doesn't happen in Texas. It happens in all 50 states.
We went to Gettysburg in May, and my husband and I both found ticks. They said they don't want to spray the battlefield because it will harm good bugs as well, but I think they need to do something. Neither one of us got sick, but it kind of makes me not want to go back.
My mom and grandma have both been diagnosed with chronic Lyme Disease. They both lived much of their lives in Missouri, so were likely exposed there. What's interesting is that my mom started experiencing Lyme symptoms while we lived in Texas, and it was really hard to get a diagnosis - apparently doctors didn't want to bother testing for it because Lyme-carrying ticks aren't in Texas?? (Also, this was pre-Obamacare, so doctors were very hesitant to diagnose anyone with a pre-existing condition, which is fair, but...) Once Mom found that out, she went to my PCP whom I trust and very clearly established that she comes from Missouri, her mother is already diagnosed, and she is experiencing similar symptoms. The doc believed her, ran the blood test, and she was positive. So she was finally able to be treated. Lots and lots of antibiotics. Now Mom lives in Missouri again and treatment is much easier to obtain. She's also incredibly casual about ticks??? They scare the absolute CRAP out of me (I still live in Texas, in a city besides) and I'm genuinely nervous to visit her house out in the woods for fear of getting one on me! Last time I found one, I screamed bloody murder and Mom just laughed at me. I guess her logic is, she's already got Lyme, what's it going to do? But ticks are still really gross! 😭
Thank you for covering this! It's really important info to get out. I only wish you'd covered more of the complications of Lyme Disease and how hard it can be to live with if it transitions to an auto-immune disease. Because a lot of people may not notice a tick if it naturally falls off, or correlate their symptoms with a tick bite, they won't see the doctor and get the antibiotics. So many people end up with these auto-immune conditions that honestly, a lot of doctors dismiss, especially in women.
@@pbsvitals Thank you for replying! It really would help so many people. Just the validation alone would do a world of good, or having something to share with doctors who think this horse is a zebra.
Unfortunately, we have personal experience with another vector-borne disease, Typhus (transmitted from small mammals to fleas to humans via flea dirt as described in the video for cat scratch fever). It may be "rare" and "tropical" but it happens even in North Texas, where it can put you in the ICU with sepsis (and yet is not likely to be diagnosed correctly).
The CDC needs new leadership. Undiagnosed lyme will keep you sick. Most people are totally unaware of how dangerous lyme disease can be. I have been on antibiotics for 6 years. My current lyme disease doctor from New York indicated that there is really no cure for late stage lyme. I now no longer hike, but sadly, I'm too sick to hike.
If you suspect you have Lyme, get treatment immediately! The longer you wait, the more damage is done. The damage is irreversible. Dont play games, get treated! I got it and waited to go to the doctor. I knowingly had it for about 3 mos, because I was working a lot. Big mistake! I still have symptoms over 20 years later!
@@spacelemur7955 That's great! Do you have any idea which vaccine is being used? I'm all for vaccines. It just seems a tremendous waste of resources and time to have to develop a new vaccine from scratch and run it through clinical trials (which are long and expensive), if all of this was already done
Found a tick on my shin a few days ago. Was attached about 8 hours. I put mineral silver water on it, and within a couple of minutes it was raising its whole body like it wanted out desperately. I would have liked to see if it could get out by itself, BUT I didn't want to wait, so I pulled it out with tweezers. I didn't expect it to want to pull out; I only applied the water because silver water is known to be great in killing bacteria and infection.
Part of the reason I clicked on this was in the thumbnail pic, it showed a record of Lyme Disease areas - yet MA was completely blank! I live in MA and Lyme Conn is in the next State over so that makes no sense. Did I miss the explanation as to why? no data? MA is magical? (It is)
Wear white socks, tuck your pants legs into your socks, and spray shoes/socks/legs with repellent. In general, light-colored clothing makes it easier to spot ticks if they're climbing up you. Permethrin is the best tick repellent known and paralyzes ticks almost immediately, but don't spray it on exposed skin, only on your clothing. If you're walking your dogs, keep an eye on your pet's legs and nose because they can be a good indicator of when you've found a tick infested area, especially if the pet has light-colored fur.
Been unwell for an entire year now after a known bite from a lyme-carrying deer tick. I've tried a number of different antibiotics, but still nothing has worked so far. I need proper testing and treatment, fast.
At 00:25, that's not a deer tick, it's the Longhorn tick which causes an allergy to eating red meat. I personally haven't seen one yet, although I do encounter plenty of ticks while walking my dogs, but the Longhorn tick has indeed been spotted in my New England state and there have been a few cases of people here getting the "alpha gal" meat allergy from tick bites.
@@calliopec544 , yes, Lonestar tick, Thank you for correcting me. Auto correct doesn't like the name of the tick either because when I typed it out by hand here my phone changed it to the name of the prescription drug lunesta!
what herb besides rosemary, garlic etc keeps them away. i would make a dusting powder for my outdoor clothes while in brush and use it and that might help repel
How do you tell a judge your son is in late stages of Lyme because he’s in jail? He’s had 4 seizures in 3 weeks! I also have a LIVE form of Babesia Mycroti! I’m dying! I’m in a MICHIGAN suburb!
How to easily remove the tick.....get a piece of gorilla tape. Put over area where the tick is. Use a larger piece than you think. Leave the tape on tight to your skin for 120 seconds. SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY start pulling back on the tape. The tick will run out of oxygen and let go of your flesh. Works every time. Where am I?>>>northern NH.
@@ShepherdMinistry I've had better luck with the gorilla tape. Perhaps I am not so adept with the tweezers....and a small narrow roll of gorilla tape is easy to carry around.
They're a lower body temperature than mammals, so the Rabies virus cannot survive in their bodies. They are tick destroying machines. I always welcome them in my yard!
Personally, I recommend that you send in your ticks for testing, even though it is not "standard protocoll". Much too little is know about this disease and I would not want to risk anything. I got bitten recently, it was attached for two days maybe, the head was stuck for 4. I sent it in, sadly it was positive. I am now on antibiotics. It's not great, it messes with your gut and all. But the potential alternatives are much worse.
2:15 it’s not quite accurate that there’s no preventative, dressing as recommended and using the recommended chemicals as directed to prevent bug bites as well as checking your body thoroughly for ticks after being in long grass or in the woods are useful although not 100% foolproof ways of preventing Lyme and other similar diseases.
Ok wait, if the old lyme vaccine was safe and only pulled from the market for demand reasons, why is someone bothering to make a whole new vaccine? If there was sufficient demand then wouldn't the old one simply be put back on the market? Or is the new one a step forward in technology?
The company that developed the vaccine probably still owns the rights to making it. Even if cases are rising, they may not consider the demand enough for it to be profitable. As other companies develop their own, they are likely searching for ways to reduce the cost of production.
Ticks are pretty easy to avoid. Worse are chiggers, which a lot of northerners aren’t familiar with. Can’t see them, and only realize their presence after the intensely itchy bumps start. Cutting wood in the tick and chigger woods of Arkansas, I used Avon Skin-so-Soft with a little patchouli oil on my body, long sleeve shirt and long pants with pant legs taped to keep ticks out, and all outside clothing doused with DEET. I didn’t smell right, but it worked. After working in the woods, checked my body for ticks, and took the hottest shower I could stand.
Germ theory is disproven. Also too don’t worry about the vector theory anymore as that is also been ruled out as the primary cause of Lyme disease. God bless the Lymies 🌈
Not every tick carries the disease or carries enough to cause infection. As was mentioned in one of the interviews, the disease has to pass through multiple layers of transfer, each with their own barriers, to eventually reach a person.
1:24 According to your own chart, confirmed cases of lyme disease did NOT increase between 2010 and 2018, yet you say cases are going up and up. Maybe you should use a different chart? NEXT!
I would love to see a geographic breakdown of where shingles it's most prevalent. Getting bombarded with commercials about 99% have it and 33% develop symptoms. At 54, i don't know anyone that's had it but doctor keeps pushing for the vaccine. When i tried to research it, all i can find is age and race demographics
IANAD, but shingles is not related to your location: it's from the chicken pox/varicella virus that's been hiding in your neurons since childhood. It mostly occurs in people over 50.

My husband is in between doses (it's a two-dose vaccine), and he was unhappy for a few days after the first shot, but it is 100% worth it.
I've known several people in Texas who had shingles. I assume I'll end up getting it when I'm older, because I've known so many people who had it and I definitely had me some chicken pox when I was a kid.

Maybe no one makes it anymore.
