Lyme disease at first bite
The bite is as small as a pin poke, but tick-borne Lyme disease can impact a patient’s life for weeks, months or even years.
Dr. Steven Bock, who operates a private practice in Rhinebeck, has seen an upswing in the number of his patients in the last 29 years who suffer from Lyme disease. Nearly 75 percent of his patients have been treated for the illness, he said.
Lyme can then cause a range of symptoms, including headaches, joint pain or flu-like symptoms. Lyme can even affect cognitive functions, like loss of short term memory, Bock said.

Preventing and treating Lyme disease
It is a routine Kathy Wallace of Baldwinsville knows all too well. She is in for her monthly check up with Dr. Steven Bock.
Wallace has been living with Lyme Disease for close to a decade.
"Most people don't know that they've been bit by a tick. So, if you do notice that you're having symptoms of exhaustion, of fever aches and pains, any types of chills, then you get to a doctor and have yourself tested for Lyme," Wallace said.

The Integrative Treatment of Lyme Disease by Steven J. Bock, MD
Reprinted with Permission from the International Journal of Integrative Medicine, May/June 1999
Picture this scenario: You have a patient who started feeling fatigued, a kind of fatigue she had never felt before. Various joint started aching in different places, starting with the big joints (hips, knees), elbows, ankles, fingers and toes. She complains of headaches and pain in the back of the neck. She has problems remembering names or retrieving thoughts. She has no history of arthritis, and no personal or family history of depression.
You elicited a history of flu symptoms a few months ago, but there's no evidence of a tick bite or bull's eye rash, i.e., erythema chronicum migrans (ECM). On the other hand, your patient lives in - or recently traveled to - an endemic area for Lyme disease.
