I've had Lyme disease, untreated, since the 1960's, according to the Infectious Disease doctor I saw upon one of my many re-infections in 2008.

Mine manifested as neurological, and the damage is done. Some symptoms have improved, but mostly, I just deal with them hour to hour, day by day. I have not driven a car since 2001.

The main culprit was the very poor tests for dx'ing Lyme. I tested negative over and over until I got lucky after a re-infection in 2008. By that time I had used a wheelchair for 7 years if I left the house and had not driven a car since 2001 due to cognitive issues from the Lyme.

The ID doc requested as complete a medical history as I could provide. As she looked through it she kept saying, here, here, here, as possible re-infections.

I did 18 months of various antibiotic protocols, none of which had any effect whatsoever. By the time I was dx'd, I had already been treating what had tentatively been called CFIDS/myalgic encephalomyitis/all in your head with highly nutrient dense food and improved greatly over 8 months.

After 18 months of no results, I stopped the antibiotics and continued with the food. I am doing what I do today exclusively because of the best food I can raise. This is what has worked for me.
