Ok pulled a small tick off my back about 3 or 4 days ago, I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not but yesterday I started having flu like symptoms. Fever comes & goes my neck is stiff & hurts on my right side all the way down my shoulder &.

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER.

These could be the early signs of Lyme disease. I suggest you call and speak with your primary care physician. If you still have the tick, great. Your physician may ask if you do.

Keep us updated,
