PSA: Insomnia is a common symptom of tick-borne illness.
I found out months ago I have Babesia. I have no history of tick bites and never would have guessed I had any tick-borne infection. Treating it helped my insomnia significantly!
I honestly don’t know how well known this fact is. I just learned about it a few months ago. Lyme (and all its co-infections) can present with a menagerie of symptoms that vary from person to person. It’s not at all textbook (which makes diagnosing difficult). But since joining subs for Lyme and related infections, I realized just how common it is to see insomnia in the list of symptoms.
Anyway, I hope this information helps someone out there!
