Lyme disease

So I just filed for insurance through my state but I’m just curious if anyone else has had this. My sister has it already and think I do to. Waiting to get tested. But anyway so last week after I helped my mom with mulch my legs started feeling to get really heavy feeling, felt swollen and felt like someone was pulling something really tight around my kneecap. Anyway if I do test positive it would explain a lot of other things and I have had it over 20 years.

I haven’t personally but I work at a doctors office and have had a few patients come in with it

It is possible that you have it from those symptoms and onset that you describe
Mulching makes sense for you to come in contact with a tick who could spread it and the heaviness sounds very much like the common weakness associated with Lyme’s

@JRVanguard well it started the same night I did the mulch so I don’t think so but I’m just waiting to get tested.

@Tittyqueen It’s definitely a possibility
If it comes out negative I would recommend an orthopedist
The pulling in the knee cap you mentioned means it’s more than likely an issue in that area if it’s not Lymes

Best of luck
I hope you find out what it is soon and feel better🤗
