So that is what I got bit in 1995. Ixodes Pacificus. Over the years I had increasing and daily headaches, but extremely gradual. Then I had brain burns and neck burns, as if someone had poured Clorox in my head. For years I always felt tired & just weak. I remember a single DAY in weeks and months where I felt normal. I thought to myself, this is how I should feel all the time. Then in 2007 stomach pain and aches. By 2011 it was full blown Lyme. I did research and found so many around me were bit. It was all around and I had no clue or time to look into it.
