My cousin...shes 14 is in a lot (A LOT) of pain and the doctors think it may be lime disease. I know NOTHING about lime disease but from what I hear it's not curable. Is this true? You know anyone with this disease or do you have it? What can you tell me about it? Im scared for her
She's so smart and is going places in life. She's got HUGE dreams of owning her own dance company...she loves to dance....Her legs and pelvis are what hurts her and her shoulder....I was sick when I found out that she may have this incurable disease. Help.

I recently was tested for lyme disease too. I have not gotten the results yet. U get it from a tick. If disease is in its early stages its curable with antibiotics. If its a later stage it can still be treated with antibiotics but will probably still have the disease. Lyme disease can cause neurological and joint problems as I have. I also have white spots in brain that showed on an MRI and a disease called Pseudotumor cerebri. That's why I am now being tested for Lyme disease. I know Lyme disease can cause pain, weakness, fatigue, nausea, and many other symptoms. People can have prolonged arthritis cause of Lyme's. I hope this all helps.

Lyme. It's named after a town in Connecticut. She got it from a tick, and not the big ugly ones that you can spot easily, but the tiniest ones that look like a speck of dirt!
Sometimes it's incurable, but many times it's curable. Don't give up hope.
Wiki is fine if you want to know the eye color of your favorite movie star, but let's stick to real sites for the important stuff. Here is a site by and for sufferers.

The spelling of a disease is an important clue to where the disease came from and even how to treat it.

Antibiotics particularly doxycycline are used to treat lyme disease. Some people end up having symptoms persist. Most people recover.
