Still Feeling Sick After a Tick Bite? It Might Be Lyme Disease—And You Deserve Real Answers
Lyme disease is one of the most misunderstood and underdiagnosed conditions today. If you’ve had a tick bite—or suspect you’ve been exposed—and you’re still not feeling like yourself, you may be living with chronic Lyme disease or a tick-borne co-infection.
Whether your tests were inconclusive or you were treated but symptoms came back, we want you to know: You’re not alone. You’re not crazy. And there is hope.
If you’re struggling with symptoms that won’t go away, call us at 416-261-8181 to start getting the answers you need.
What Is Lyme Disease?
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, most commonly transmitted through a tick bite. But Lyme doesn’t always show up as a bullseye rash—and not everyone remembers being bitten. In many cases, symptoms appear weeks, months, or even years later.
And often, standard blood tests miss it.
Symptoms of Chronic Lyme Disease
Lyme disease can affect every system in your body. That’s why its symptoms can seem random or unrelated—and why patients are often misdiagnosed with anxiety, fibromyalgia, or autoimmune conditions.
Common symptoms include:
-
Ongoing fatigue and weakness
-
Brain fog, memory issues, or difficulty concentrating
-
Joint or muscle pain that moves around
-
Tingling, numbness, or strange nerve sensations
-
Headaches or neck stiffness
-
Sensitivity to light, sound, or smell
-
Mood changes (anxiety, depression, irritability)
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeat
-
Digestive issues
-
Temperature dysregulation or chills
If this sounds familiar and you haven’t gotten answers, call us at 416-261-8181. We specialize in complex, chronic conditions like Lyme.
Why Is Lyme So Hard to Diagnose and Treat?
Many conventional Lyme tests are designed to detect only one strain of the bacteria—and only if your immune system is responding in a specific way. That means you can have Lyme and still test negative.
Even after a short round of antibiotics, some patients continue to experience symptoms for months or years. This is sometimes called Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome—but in many cases, it’s persistent Lyme that wasn’t fully addressed.
At our clinic, we take a comprehensive approach that goes far beyond standard labs.
Root Causes and Triggers We Explore
Lyme disease is rarely acting alone. In functional medicine, we investigate why your body isn’t recovering and what might be keeping you stuck in chronic illness, including:
-
Co-infections like Bartonella, Babesia, or Ehrlichia
-
Immune system dysfunction
-
Gut imbalances and inflammation
-
Mold or environmental toxin exposure
-
Mitochondrial (energy) depletion
-
Nutrient deficiencies
-
Chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation
-
Autoimmune activation
