So after all this...

Are there SPECIFIC Meds & Supplements to take if you have Lyme ?

Or does every doctor and every patient take whatever the actual doc feels they should take sadly based on merely of an opinion of the individual doctor ???

Basically my question is, is anything proven to work to get rid off this disease ???

Or are we only working on to calm down our painful joints and headaches ???

I think it's really an individual thing.

My Dr. treats based on the individual. He doesn't prescribe any meds or supplements until after he does bloodwork.

So, "after all this" ? Does that mean you've been in treatment a while and are wrapping it up?

But your question: "Basically my question is, is anything proven to work to get rid off this disease ???" certainly voices understandable frustration.

Have you been treated by an ILADS LLMD? For how long?

Were all co-infections considered? Sometimes, there may be another infection that can be the hold-up.

While calming down symptoms is desirable, most LLMDs do want to achieve success and are clear that supplements are to support. Specific measures for the infection(s) must come first in line but the support measures can make the difference in how well the medicines can work.

While a good LLMD can tell by your symptoms which supplements may be most important, these are the best and most complete reference sources, specific to lyme and TBD:
