what kinds of symptoms do you have from lyme disease. i ask because i found a tick embedded and had died on my shoulder. i dug it out and then a month or so later, i woke up one morning with all ten toes and part of my feet completely numb. it was sunday so waited until monday and they thought i may have ms. they gave me some medicine for several days and it helped the symptoms but they didn't go away completely. they sent me to a neurologist and he did some tests for the ms but not the one that would really tells for sure so we just ended up and dropped it for the time being. i had gotten better but still have numbness in my toes and feet and hands. it is manageable so far. the doctors told me it was too late to test for the lyme disease. it has been 3 years and i am better than i was to begin with but still have numbness. they say i don't have diabetes, that their best guess is i have a virus and that they hope the symptoms will eventually go away but that they just don't know, that it might not.
