Fatigue

Whether or not you see the tick bite or the classic Lyme rash, your early symptoms are likely to be flu-like. Symptoms are frequently cyclical, with peaks and valleys every few weeks. The most common symptoms are tiredness, weariness, and a lack of vitality. Lyme fatigue may appear to be distinct from typical weariness, which can be attributed to exercise. This exhaustion appears to overtake your body and might be severe. You may discover that you need to nap during the day, or that you need to sleep for one or more hours longer than normal.

In one research, around 84 percent of children with Lyme disease felt weariness. In a 2013 study of Lyme disease adults, 76% experienced weariness. Lyme-related tiredness is occasionally misinterpreted as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, or depression. Fatigue can be incapacitating in some Lyme disease instances.
