Lyme & Tick-Borne Illnesses
Lyme & Tick-Borne Illness: Finding Answers Beyond the Standard Labs
Chronic symptoms. No clear diagnosis. You know something’s wrong-let’s find out what.
Tick-borne infections like Lyme disease, Bartonellosis, Anaplasmosis, and Babesiosis often go undiagnosed or mistreated, especially in women. Many are told that their labs are normal, that it’s all stress and that nothing can be done. You know your body-and I believe you.
Common Symptoms of Chronic Lyme & Co-Infections
These symptoms are often mistaken for anxiety, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or even “just hormones.” But they could be your immune system responding to stealth infections.
Brain fog, memory issues, mood swings
Fatigue, energy crashes
Migrating joint pain
Muscle weakness or pain
Numbness, tingling, burning sensations
Sleep disturbances, night sweats
Hormonal imbalance or cycle changes
Sensitivity to light, sound, temperature
Digestive issues, bloating or food sensitivities
Anxiety, depression, unexplained panic
Dizziness, heart palpitations
Shortness of breath, air hunger
Why Many Women Go Undiagnosed
Lyme disease isn’t always caught by standard tests, and co-infections are often missed entirely. The immune system can become overwhelmed, especially in women already dealing with hormone shifts, stress or autoimmunity. Get more answers with:
Comprehensive symptom history and timeline
Functional lab testing and advanced tick-borne panels including screening for co-infections
Mold and toxin exposure assessment (often overlapping with Lyme)
Thyroid, adrenal and mitochondrial function testing
