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.
