Thanks

The earlier you are treated the quicker you will get better and as long as you find a good LLMD

My LLMD says he even see the ones with late stage Lyme with multiple co-infections who go untreated for years get better with the appropriate regime and for long enough,for those it can be tough as the herx's are intense as the load is higher so the herx is tougher, I know as I am one of them but even for me 7 years untreated and bedbound I am now mobile, albeit still having bad herx's and dealing with Co-Infections.

So keep in mind how many do recover and go on to lead a normal life.

Please take a look at some of the success stories that a few of us have uploaded here.

I hope that gives you some reassurance

To confirm what a co-infection is.....

Ticks as you know can carry and transmit Lyme Disease although they can actually carry a cocktail of other infection, so the other infections that they carry are referred to as a Co-infection.

So when you are diagnosed with Lyme disease your LLMD/Doc should also test you for these co-infections and all of the most experienced LLMD's reconise that these can be as serious as Lyme Disease itself - you therefore need to treat the Lyme disease and presenting co-infections.

In my case I have Lyme and the co-infections Babesia and Bartonella and sadly a large percentage of people who get bitten by a tick will also have co-infections.

Co Infections require different medications than Lyme Disease.

I hope that makes it a little more clear but again your treating LLMD/Doctor should know all about these.
