I wish they'd specified what her 'simple course of antibiotics' was.

True.. and she acts like Lyme is no big deal compared to MS. Little does she know!

I don't like how the article makes it seem like chronic lyme is SO easy to treat [Frown]

Posted by katiebobatie (Member # 28753) on :

The article says her symptoms disappeared after just 4 days on antibiotics!

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I know. Hard to believe.

Hmmm. I wonder if they interviewed her on the 5th day.

I was diagnosed with MS also. The part that is worse is there is no hope for cure, -0-, not even any maybe's and it WILL get worse. The MS forum is very different than this one.

Well, at least she is on her way and perhaps has an LLMD now in case it comes back.
