(The impact of tick-borne diseases on bone)
This topic comes up from time to time so spent some time gathering and finding information to bring to your doctors. I included helpful solutions towards the bottom.
"From our search, we were able to find evidence of eight tick-borne diseases (Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, Lyme disease, Bourbon virus disease, Colorado tick fever disease, Tick-borne encephalitis, and Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever) affecting the bone. Pathological bone effects most commonly associated with tick-borne infections were disruption of bone marrow function and bone loss."
"According to case studies, these stealth pathogens can also target the bones. Bone pain has been associated with what we now know to be Bartonella genus infection since World War I."
"In their article “The Lyme Disease Pathogen Borrelia burgdorferi Infects Murine Bone and Induces Trabecular Bone Loss,” investigators provide the “first evidence that B. burgdorferi infection induces bone loss in mice and suggest that this phenotype results from inhibition of bone building rather than increased bone resorption.”
"Through their methodical research, Tang et al. identified bone density loss as an effect of Lyme disease and subsequently determined the origins of this loss to be reduced number of osteoblasts, primarily in long bones. This provides a clear path to improving Lyme disease treatment if osteoblast numbers can be increased or if other means of reforming bone can be enacted in the patient."
