We've tried it all for my husband! Symptoms for 4 years possible exposure 15 years ago (hunter for years in MD). Went through many doctors, even Mayo Clinic, all say he doesn't have lyme cause his test is negative. Went to a LLMD in SC and he clinically diagnosed him as having lyme. Tested through IGNEX and he is still neg. He started treatment with nutritional sups first 6mos ago 5mos ago he started antibiotics (Omnicef,Azithromycin,Mycobutin, MWF and Flagyl Th F of the final week)on 3 weeks off 1, now he is on 2 weeks off one. Invested in a home HBO, Biomat, Ozone water, Samento, Burbur, Oil of oregano, ya I've read your posts and anything that could possible help him I've gotten for him. The pain he is experiencing is out of this world and no pain meds help much. Basically without making this to wordy we want to know if he should have noticed something (some relief or is he hurxing and we don't realize it?) Thanks for listening Silly

If he has had this for that long its going to take a while to get remission. Has he been tested for coinfections? My daughter didnt test positive for 14 years. So testing is very inaccurate.Its important to check for coinfection as some need to be treated before the Lyme. Ones like Babesia are difficult to get rid of. It took 7-8 month for her to see even little bits of improvement. Tell him to hang in there.
