can lymes disease symptoms reappear????

Question

if someone has been diagnosed then treated for lymes disease, is it possible for the symptoms to reappear after time? or does the disease have long term effects that wouldn't appear until years later??

Answer 1

Yes, in the classic infection, the first stage is characterized by a rash that forms at the site of infection. Weeks to months later, in the secondary stage, bacteremic dissemination spreads infection to the heart and CNS, commonly causing myocarditis, acute meningitis, Bell’s palsy, and arthritis

Months to years later, in the third stage, chronic arthritis (usually of the large joints, most commonly the knee) is characteristic, as well as progressive CNS disease, including encephalopathy

It can be treated with doxycycline in the primary stage, so if you suspect it, be sure to treat it effectively and thoroughly

I was attacked by a Tick in 2006 , I had the Bulls-Eye rash and I was sick as a dog for 5 days. Went to 4 Dr.s before getting diagnosed with Lyme. The tick was also carrying a co-infection of Babesia or Babesiosis , that directly affects the cerebellum . I had to suffer from these diseases for a year before getting treatment for the latter. The Lyme D. was treated in 2011 . The damage is done and not reversible , nor curable . If anyone thinks that they've been bitten ? Get to an " internal-medicine Dr. " ASAP ! Good luck .

Both= it can do heart muscle damage and other muscle damage that takes time to show up.
The culprit also is smart and mutating as it hides by encasing itself in muscle tissue.......then when your immune
system is down or it thinks it is safe it becomes active.
I have had it since 92 and recurred 5 times and got reinfected
4 times......it is not fun and I must use Doxicycline in first couple days it returns and then it goes in hiding again.
I'm taking natural Oragonol Liquid drops in water to drink which is
reported to kill germs and bacteria and parasites...?? not taken long enough to know if it has helped.
Find a doctor who will work with you on it.
