I got South African tick bite fever a few months ago and went on antibiotics, finsihed the course and was fine. However when I started training / exercising hard again I kept getting sick and now I am sick again after one week of hard training. I am very healthy and I am used to training very hard, could this be as a result of the TBF?
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern regarding fatigue and myalgic after tick bite fever. Such illness is associated with generalized muscle pain and fatigue which takes few weeks to recover. I suggest you alter your exercise regimen to a less vigorous routine and do not over exert yourself. I also suggest a high protein low fat diet to get your body rejuvenated after the illness. Adequate amount of water is required per day to maintain HY Chat Doctor. I assure you will regain the strength in a few weeks time. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks.
