trying to find out if lyme can reoccur. was diagnosed in 1996, treated with doxycyclene and occcasionally have symptoms; some severe. do you ever really get cured or does the disease lie dormant and reinfect? any insight would be appreciated. my doctor thinks i am depressed which I am, but I know that depression can't possibly be causings all of my symptoms.

Yes, it can relapse, especially if your first treatment of it wasn't for long enough.
Welcome! Keep reading here, you will learn a lot. You also might want to check out www.ilads.org. Posted by Geneal (Member # 10375) on :
No, but having a chronic infection like Lyme can cause depression.
My hope is remission, but I will probably deal with this infection off and on (more off I hope )
The rest of my life.
Welcome.
Hugs,
Geneal

Absolutely, and Lyme causes depression. Keep reading and find an LLMD if you don't have one!
