I've seen people on here saying they've been sick for years. But i only started feeling flu-like symptoms since the end of Dec & early Jan.. Then i started getting worse in the middle of Jan... Is it possible to be in late stage so quick?

What do you mean by being "late stage"?

You have a great opportunity to be completely healed.

I mean all my symptoms are considered late stage

At 8 weeks my daughter was considered to be in the early disseminated stage. She treated for almost 7 months with abx and is doing much better now.

Since you caught it early, it may be easier to treat even if you have late stage symptoms.

I don't mean to be Debbie Downer, but I had all late stage symptoms as well...my first LLMD said that I had stage 3 advanced lyme disease. I saw him 6 months after my symptoms began.
I have been treating for 11 months and not seen much improvement.
It is a marathon...not a sprint. Patience is a virtue...

i only had symptoms for a month & a half

My daughter only had symptoms for 7 weeks before our LLMD appt and we are still treating over 2 years later. She is much better but has a ways to go yet.
This disease is so complex and it is not a one size fits all type of treatment. You need a top notch LLMD, educate yourself and lots of prayers.
Take care,

I think it's very possible that you can recover very quickly.

doesn't matter which - More IgM's are positive in chronic lyme than with IgG.
