Welcome to TargetLyme.com, a website designed to inform people of the risks associated with Lyme Disease. This website was created for the purpose of helping others understand this potentially devastating disease and to help slow the spread of the epidemic.
___________________________________________________________________________________  | About Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is an infection caused by a kind of bacteria called a spirochete (say: "spy-ro-keet"). The disease is carried by deer ticks.These ticks can spread the disease to animals and humans through tick bites. These ticks are about the size of a sesame seed. Click for More |
 | Symptoms Of Lyme Disease
Lyme Disease is diagnosed clinically, as no currently available test, no matter the source or type, is definitive in ruling in or ruling out infection. Inside you will find a symptom checklist which may be helpful in diagnosing Lyme. If you suspect that you may have been infected with Lyme disease, seek medical consultation at once. Click for More |
 | Treatment Of Lyme Disease
It has been shown that the longer a patient had been ill with Lyme prior to first definitive therapy, the longer the duration of treatment must be, and the need for more aggressive treatment increases. Sadly, some insurance companies are still reluctant to pay for such treatment. Click for More |
I have created this website because my own life has been greatly affected by Lyme disease. I was misdiagnosed for years and dealt with dozens of doctors. I would hate to have another person needlessly go through the same thing that I have. Since I have been living with it for so many years, I often wonder what parts of who I am are really me and what parts are the disease. I live my life from day to day and try my best to stay positive. Some days I make it out into the world and get stuff done and other days I just can’t. Maybe one day I will be completely healed. In the mean time I keep my faith and count my blessings.
