It can be, sometimes it can't be... I would play it safe and go see a LLMD or do alot of rotating in with antibiotics, you dont want it to reach a chronic stage!

Find an LLMD. Ceftin was good for me. It's good for neurolyme. Doxycycline is usually the one doctors use in the beginning of treatment, especially if the tick bite is new. Don't waste time! The longer it is in your body, the deeper it can go. Dont' let it become pervasive and disseminated, if you can. -------------------- Jeff

Ceftin has been my primary antibiotic for treating Lyme, and for me, it was a good choice. I've made a lot of progress on it, though the initial herxes were really severe (due, I think, to having gone 9 years undiagnosed). Feel free to send me a pm if you have any questions. Andie
