I feel like whenever I just regular non-lyme educated people that I have lyme, they always say to me "oh once you have lyme you will ALWAYS have it, theres no way to get rid of it".

I dont understand why so many people think that. I mean YES i know its hard to eradicate and so on. and I know it takes a while to get better and that there are relapses and such but. it is possible to get rid of. with correct treatment and the correct length of treatment

Is this because of the whole IDSA's "post lyme" crap. because theyve undertreated people for so long and they end up still having symptoms that are just labeled as "post lyme permanent symptoms"?, I think that must be the reason.

anyone else hear this alot from random people?

I don't believe anybody with chronic Lyme will ever complete rid themselves of the infection.

I think Lyme drives too deep into the CNS.
