Many people suffer from Lyme disease, and some of the most famous cases come from celebrities like Shania Twain and Jimmy Walker. Chronic Lyme disease can cause many different symptoms, depending on how the person reacts to it.Typically Lyme disease is contracted by receiving a bite from a tick. A tick is a small insect that likes to suck on blood of its victims. There can be headaches, muscle and joint pain, problems with remembering things, irritability, and many more. Treating Lyme disease has been a challenge for many doctors and physicians, because it is often difficult to diagnose, and because of the fact that no person typically will react the same. There are different antibiotics that can be used to try and find and kill what remains of Lyme disease might be in the body, but it can be a hit and miss. However, many people with the symptoms of Lyme disease who take antibiotics over a period of time do seem to get better eventually. However, a way to treat Lyme disease has still not been discovered. There are many people who, when tested for Lyme disease the results come back negative, still could have contracted a virus or illness from tick bites.
