I am sort of in remission, and I definitely don't come here too often when I'm feeling good.
I actually logged on for the first time in a while b/c I'm having a flare up. But generally I can live a normal life.
4Seasons, I like your quote, especially as it pertains to my username!

I 've been in remission for almost four years now. Prior to that I was in remission for 10+ years. I know it might come back if I become unhealthy for some other reason. The last episode I think was triggered by an accident I had at work. I spent four days in the hospital with broken ribs and after that (pain killers, shock etc.) the Lyme came back.
So I know I'm always walking the tight rope. Great thread. Know that it is possible to be %100. I did it. So can you. I 'm on Lyme net because this is a $^#%@ WAR!

Me. For now. 5+ years and counting. Thank GOD. I have SOME issues when 1st waking, but hard to tell if it's leftover neuro-Lyme, or age-related or auto-immune.
What do I concentrate on now? A healthy Diet. Exercise. Some supplements. Foods that are mildly antibiotic, like garlic. And, especially, good Sleep.
All I can do! Hopefully I can avoid more "long-term abx"... until I'm elderly. Posts: 1233 | From Dover, NH | Registered: Sep 2008

I was diagnosed a year after being infected, and treated with doxy about 23 years ago. So I've lived longer post-treatment than I had pre-treatment. This is the first time I've actually been convinced the fatigue, aches, and stomach upsets may be related to Lyme.
Most of the last 23 years have been pretty ok. I would say I bounced around between 85% and 95%. However, compared to others in my age group, I've always had less tolerance for undersleeping, extremely low tolerance for caffeine, and periods of insomnia.
Hoping to find a doctor here soon so I can figure out why I suddenly feel so lousy. I can tell you this, though... it sure does feel like Lyme.

I've been in remission for 18 months, though I've had a couple of mini flare ups that I'm not sure came from bb or just plain ordinary sickness. Since I herxed on the last one, I can assume it was a mini flare, however, I do about all I did before. Just a bit stiff at times.

I am using stromectol so not in remission but I feel close to 100%. I hope I can maintain this through the winter because that is when I usually relapse.
What helped me get here was low fat vegan diet and stromectol for protomyxzoa, LDN, and the methyl cycle mutation supplements (CBS also requires a vegan diet). Big difference in just a few months. I don't have any symptoms although I would like to increase my stamina.

I am very, very close, I think. Rifampin has been key for me. 98% most days, with 100% the others. I forget I am a "sick person," if that says anything.

I've been in remission for four years now, back to 100% after seven years of abx. All five of my kids are in remission, too. So I guess that's 6 of the 25-50 who have recovered accounted for. ;-)
Seriously, I'm sure the number of people who have recovered is much higher than 25-50, but many just don't come back once they've regained their health.

Can someone tell me what Bionic 800 is? C.P. Thanks for sharing all the positive stories. I think that everyone who get well should leave us with their full story, including treatments that helped them recover. There should be a separate topic button devoted to all the stories. These stories provide much neeeded reassurance and encouragement to those of us still in the dark trenches. C.P.

This is so good to read today. Hubby is having such a bad couple of days. His breathing is bad, muscle weakness is bad,not sure where we're headed. So good to read maybe there is hope still. Hes been with LLMD since April, a quack LLMD for approx 8 months before that. So maybe we're hoping for too much too soon. Just has scary ALS symptoms. Thanks for all the good posts.
