Lyme Disease is a condition that has presented itself fairly regularly in our office as a Daytona Beach LTD claim lawyer. This is unusual considering Lyme Disease is a fairly rare disease. Rare, but a truly insidious and very difficult to diagnose the condition. I am familiar with a person who was diagnosed in Orlando strictly because a nurse in the emergency room happened to be from Colorado and had seen the condition before. The question was asked about tick bites and, sure enough, there was the diagnosis.
Lyme disease is transmitted to humans through black-legged tick bites. Early symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a rash. The disease can worsen if undiagnosed or untreated. It can move into joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Diagnosis is symptomatic- the rash and exposure to ticks. Diagnostic testing is of help only if properly performed and confirmed. Even proper diagnosis and treatment is not an assurance that the condition will not devolve into debilitation.
The problem in the long-term disability claims we have been presented with as a Daytona Beach LTD claim lawyer is that there always seems to be a number of alternative diagnoses explored first, including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and other difficult to diagnose conditions. Insurance companies use the difficulty in diagnosing to their advantage by contending that because there is no definitive diagnosis, there is no disablement; a leap in logic typical of people who do not want to pay money they owe.
