Ways to Identify Lyme Disease

Could it be Lyme Disease?

Lyme Disease is often called “The Great Imitator”

Lyme infection can mimic the following conditions:

  • MS
  • ALS
  • Parkinson’s
  • fibromyalgia
  • chronic fatigue syndrome
  • rheumatoid arthritis
  • autistic-spectrum disorders (kids)
  • many other disorders


Because of Lyme’s ability to “disguise” itself as other conditions, diagnosing Lyme Disease based on symptoms can often be difficult.

Symptoms that can help to identify Lyme Disease include:

debilitating fatigue, insomnia, malaise, headaches, dizziness/ lightheadedness

numbness, tingling, paralysis, Bells palsy, burning/ shooting pain, motor neuron impairment, optic neuritis, facial numbness
