Do you know of cases where Lyme was totally cured with a month of antibiotics?

[Anonymous]

Mine was cured, as in the bacteria was killed, but the symptoms didn't go away for about a year. I still have some nerve damage from it. If the nerve damage was going to improve any more, it would have done it in the last 4 years.

OP, consider consulting with a lyme literate doctor. Lyme and its co-infections are complicated and the medical community is in increasing disagreement about lyme and its treatment. There have been no long term studies about long term lyme, so what is effective or not, has not been established.

Not the PP, but what's your beef with more research helping people to get healthy? Or do you think everyone diagnosed with chronic Lyme is making up symptoms?

I was diagnosed with Lyme after 6 months of unexplained fevers and muscle pain. My symptoms cleared up after a month long course of antibiotics.

I have joint pain but then I'm forty.

OP's DC has not been diagnosed with chronic lyme. There is no reason for her to enter this world.

Few main stream doctors will diagnose chronic lyme, that's part of the point. Seeing someone who is willing to may help OP to understand more about DC's condition from those who are experienced in treating lyme. And, let's remember the co-infections that often accompany lyme. Thought and care are being advocated here.

I think those few doctors offering very long courses of antibiotics for "chronic Lyme" are doing so without sufficient evidence base.

[Anonymous]

And the docs who refuse to diagnose lyme are doing the same thing. Sorry to say the research is insufficient all around.

Stop with the recommendations concerning chronic lyme. OP's DC doesn't have it and there's no reason to go find a diagnosis. It would be one thing if he had lingering symptoms but there's no indication of that. Yes, chronic lyme exists but it is rare and this idea that anyone who has lyme should go to one of these chronic lyme people is, I'm sorry, a sign of lyme fanatacism.
