'If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has – then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,' Timberlake wrote on Instagram on Thursday. 'When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure,' he continued. 'But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness.' The Grammy-winning singer said the diagnosis forced him to consider stopping touring but added: 'I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going.' Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

Other celebrities have also spoken about their experience with Lyme disease, including pop star Justin Bieber and rock singer Avril Lavigne. What is Lyme disease and what is it caused by? Lyme disease is spread by bacteria from the bites of infected black-legged ticks. It's named after Lyme, Connecticut, where the disease was first identified in the United States in 1975. In the United States, around 476,000 people across the nation are diagnosed and treated for the disease every year, according to recent estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While ticks that carry the bacteria most common in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and upper-Midwest, those who work or spend time in grassy areas where ticks live are more likely to be at risk, as well as those who have pets such as dogs that can bring them home. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The disease is also common in Europe and in south-central and southeastern Canada. What are the signs and symptoms of Lyme disease? For many people with Lyme disease, a common early sign is a rash, which may look like a bull's eye and can itch or feel warm to the touch. Other symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue and joint stiffness. If it's not treated, Lyme disease can cause more serious conditions including joint infection, nervous system diseases and inflammation of the heart. Some people may also suffer from post-Lyme disease syndrome, which can cause ongoing nerve pain, fatigue and memory problems. Lyme disease can be confused for other health conditions, and vice versa, so it's important those who have symptoms speak to a health care provider. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Most people who get Lyme disease make a full recovery after a few weeks of antibiotics. But there are no vaccines against Lyme disease – one shot approved in the United States was discontinued in 2002, with the producer blaming low demand. But Pfizer and French pharmaceutical company Valneva are carrying out human trials for a new vaccine that could protect against North American and European strains of Lyme disease; Pfizer said last year that participants had received three doses and would be monitored until the end of the 2025 Lyme disease season. The University of Massachusetts Medical School's MassBiologics is also working on a seasonal preventative shot for the disease. How can you prevent Lyme disease? To avoid being infected with Lyme disease – or any of the other potentially serious diseases such as Babesiosis that ticks can transmit – it's important to avoid getting bitten in the first place. That means wearing repellent, walking in the middle of trails and avoiding brushy areas where possible. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The Mayo Clinic also advises choosing light-colored clothing to help you see any ticks, avoiding open-toed shoes or sandals, wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants and tucking clothing in. After a walk, you should check yourself and your dog for ticks (You can find more information on avoiding tick bites and what to do if you find a tick on yourself or your dog here.) It's important to take precautions even if you've had Lyme disease before, as you can get it again.

(Evan Agostini/Invision/AP) Also Read | 41 cases of bird flu in 10 states raise concerns: Everything you need to know about symptoms, treatment, how it spreads In a post shared on July 31, the singer reflected on his 30-year-long career and the gruelling times he spent preparing for the tour, confessing that he has been battling some health issues and was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Justin Timberlake's Lyme disease diagnosis In the Instagram post, the singer wrote, 'If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically. When I first got the diagnosis, I was shocked for sure…I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness.' Read the full post below: What is Lyme disease? A tick-borne infection caused by the bacterium known as Borrelia burgdorferi, living with Lyme disease can be debilitating. Named after the town of Lyme, Connecticut, where it was first identified in children in 1976, it primarily affects the skin, nervous system, heart and joints. Symptoms and causes In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Santosh Aggarwal, senior consultant, internal medicine at Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad, stated that the disease is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of black-legged ticks (also known as deer ticks) that carry the Borrelia bacteria. These ticks are commonly found in wooded or grassy areas, and they can latch onto humans and animals, transmitting the bacteria during their feeding process. Depending on the stage of infection, the symptoms of Lyme disease can vary. Moreover, it can also mimic other illnesses, making it challenging to diagnose. Dr Aggarwal revealed that it generally progresses in 3 stages: 1. Early localised stage: Lyme disease usually occurs within 3 to 32 days after a tick bite. Early symptoms may include: A painful red, circular rash with a clear centre (erythema migraines). The rash can expand over time, resembling a bull's-eye pattern. Preferred sites are the thigh, groin and axilla. 2. Disseminated infection: The symptoms are Rash Fever Chills Severe headache Neck stiffness Profound weakness Muscle and joint aches Enlarged lymph nodes Eye involvement Cough 3. Persistent infection: If Lyme disease remains untreated for several months or years, it can lead to more severe and long-term symptoms: Severe joint pain and swelling (frank arthritis) Memory, mood and sleep disorders Nerve pain (peripheral neuropathy) Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice.
