While antibiotics are essential in treating Lyme disease, many alternative therapies may minimize symptoms, improve the immune response, and help treat late disseminated or chronic disease.

Lyme Disease affects every system of the human body. There can be severe problems that can occur if Lyme Disease is not treated. One of the worse outcomes of untreated Lyme Disease is paralysis.
While acute/early Lyme disease can be sucessfully treated with antibiotics such as doxycycline, amoxicillin, or cefuroxime, in terms of chronic Lyme disease, an extended or repeated courses of antibiotics might be prescribed. Another aspect is to cure the symptoms with pain relief and anti-inflammation medicine. However, there is no cure for chronic Lyme disease, but alternative treatment approaches, including immunotherapies and combination therapies, are currently being investigated by biomedical researchers.

Lyme's disease must be treated by a medical professional. It is best to let your doctor worry about the treatment steps of Lyme's disease.
Yes. It is only in very extreme cases where Lyme Disease isn't diagnosed and treated for a long period of time that it is fatal. It isn't the Lyme Disease that would be fatal but rather complications and co-infections that could result from the disease going untreated. In some cases, Lyme Disease that isn't treated for an extended time may lead to paralysis. Most often, Lyme Disease is discovered and treated before any permanent damage is sustained.
Many doctors will treat the issues caused by chronic lyme disease rather than the disease itself. Antibiotics are the main treatment of lyme disease however they are not always 100% effective. Arthritis that continues after antibiotic treatment can be treated with hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate. Neuropathic pain is treated with Gabapentin.
Lyme disease can be treated with oral antibiotics such as Doxycycline for adults & children 8 and up. For children under eight Cefuroxime. A treatment time from anywhere between 10-21 days.
Yes, the active disease process can be stopped by antibiotics. The term chronic lyme disease is often used for patients where the disease is recurring. This is because the disease stays dormant or in remission once it is introduced to the bloodstream. It is still there but can remain inactive or dormant forever in some patients and then many patients have recurring Lyme for years. There are also many co-infections that are associated with Lyme Disease. One co-infection, Babesiosis, can not be treated at the same time that Lyme is being treated as they are treated differently. Therefore, when you treat one successfully, the other often reoccurs.
There are antibiotics for Lyme Disease. The dog should be treated or it may get complications from this disease just like humans.
Yes, Lyme Disease is a multisystem spirochetal disorder. If not diagnosed and treated early, Lyme Disease can affect other parts of the body, including the eyes. It can cause blurred vision, floaters and even pain in the eye. There are many ocular manifestations from Lyme Disease but proper treatment can improve symptoms.
influenza is a virus and not bacteria, so antibiotics will have no effect. Lyme's disease is a bacteria so they do work
it was named after a town in Connecticut because all these people were getting lyme disease...me my mom and my step dad all had lyme disease
