Hi all. I treated for lyme for about 3 yrs. I stopped treatment about
two years ago. My family dr. told me today she thinks I may have
viral encephalitis. Could this be a lyme relapse? How will I know
if lyme is involved? I'm worried. I have no llmd now. I told her I
had treated for lyme disease. She said all my liver tests were
good, so it wasn't lyme. Is that true? Is the liver always affected
in lyme? Sorry for so many questions. I'll leave it at that for
now. Any comments at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

You need to get a LLMD again. My liver has been "good" and I am treating Lyme as well as coinfections. Run away from that Dr.
Good luck

I haven't had a problem with my liver, my wife started to have concerning test results after 7+ months of biaxin, flagyl, and doxy. Go to your LLMD, you could have also been reinfected.

I didn't have problems w/ my liver until I took Artemisinin so I don't know why your Dr would say that! And I get my bloodwork done every week. I concur w/ everyone here... you need to go find an LLMD.

same here. liver enzymes shot up with certain meds at different flare up times, but I've had Lyme for at least 8 years...liver has always been "good". I have a CDC+ IgG and IGX+ IgM/IgG

I have never heard that liver tests are abnormal with lyme. In fact, my doc checks my liver function every month to be sure they stay normal with the antibiotics.

Thanks so much, everyone! I had a feeling she really didn't know.
I didn't remember having abnormal liver tests during treatment.
