LYME DISEASE - INFORMATION TO WIN A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY (SSD, SSDI) OR SSI CLAIM


Lyme disease is an illness caused by an infection of the Borellia Burgdorferi bacterium, passed via tick-bite. The effects of lyme disease include neurological, cardiac, and joint problems, as well as the onset of arthritic complaints.

Lyme disease appears rather quickly in individuals who have been infected. The first tell-tale sign of infection is a bulls-eye shaped rash which can appear within just a few days of being bitten. 80% of those who have been infected develop this type of rash within a month of being bitten.

However, the tick must be attached for 24-48 hours for the virus to be successfully transmitted to the host. The longer the parasite is attached, of course, the greater the chance of infection. Therefore, checking oneself thoroughly after coming back in from known tick-infested areas is of the utmost importance if one is to avoid infection.

Lyme disease symptoms are similar to the complaints expressed for a number of musculoskeletal problems: generalized fatigue and lack of energy, muscle and joint pain, and a variety of flu-like symptoms including headache, fever, and chills.

Long term (weeks or months) symptoms which may develop in lyme disease cases can include arthritis in one or more joints, and certainly chronic fatigue.

In the U.S. alone, lyme disease is one of the fastest growing infectious diseases, with potentially up to 200,000 new cases each year (cases that have been officially reported to the CDC, or centers for disease control, however, may only be a fraction of this)

Treatment for lyme disease usually includes pharmacy available antibiotics, but can also include other types of prescription drugs such as various medications to combat pain, fever and inflammation, as well as neurological deficits.
