Topic: Post Lyme Symptoms

I just returned from a f/u visit with my LLMD.

Although I explained that my symptoms are worse

(memory issues, insomnia, stabbing headaches,

joint pain, tingling in muscles, etc) he

indicated that since my blood work is now normal

that these are post lyme symptoms and should

disappear.

He prescribed meds to help me with my memory,

sleep and pain.

Does this sound right?

NO>.. not at all! If your "LLMD" believes in PLS .. you need to find another doctor!!

Did you get the name here?

So called "post lyme symptoms" are lyme symptoms that remain after inadequate lyme treatment.

When you are properly treated for lyme, no symptoms remain.

Any doc who uses that terminology is on the wrong side of the lyme disease controversy. You need a real lyme doc to treat you until you are 2 months symptom free, like Dr. Burrascano advocates.

My doc treated me for 5 months past symptom free point and in March it will be 6 years since I completed my treatment and I am still symptom free, enjoying my life. I am rid of lyme.

You still have lyme.

Exactly what blood work was normal?

Lyme patients stump physicians everywhere by having the nerve (no pun intended) to be incredibly ill with normal lab results.

No real LLMD would use the term "post lyme syndrome." There is no such thing.

You need more treatment.
