[QUOTE="Josie, post: 369220, member: 1792"] My daughter has Lyme Disease. Hers went untreated and has been difficult to get rid of. My mother had it, got antibiotics, and has never had a problem. I hope your son got at least a couple of weeks of doxycycline. I've read some doctors only give one pill and I would be concerned about this. The most important thing for you to know is that if he never gets back to himself after finishing his antibiotics, he should research the whole Lyme Disease controversy and think about treatment from a doctor who believes in "chronic Lyme" and not "post-Lyme syndrome". New fatigue, cognitive problems, and mental problems, as well as the well-known joint pain problems could be from Lyme. The doctors that treat chronic Lyme believe lingering symptoms are the result of continued infection and that there are other infections that might be transmitted by the tick. These doctors will give more antibiotics until symptoms are gone. Many of them or a family member had Lyme themselves, so they have seen this work. The prevailing view is that after you take your antibiotics, your Lyme is gone, even if you still have symptoms, and now you have "post-Lyme syndrome" caused by damage to your body from the Lyme. Have him take a picture of the rash, if it is still there. I think since he caught it early, that his chances are good for a full recovery. [/QUOTE]
