I was tested positive for Lyme, and was given antibiotics for a few weeks. On my own, I also took Vit. C for five (5) months, ranging from 15-40 grams daily. I still had moderate pain levels, it seeming as if I'd suddenly become very arthritic.
I have a somewhat stronger "intuition" than most others seem to, and upon encountering it while perusing an herb listing, felt I should take wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). I ground dried wormwood and, it being very, very bitter, filled capsules with about 1000mg and took it daily. My pains ended after about ten (10) days. I've been taking it for a few months, but will quit after a few more.

A few weeks of antibiotics is often not enough to treat a lyme infection.
Others will probably disagree, but I think if you've got an infection you need antibiotics, not JUST herbs.
If you're still symptomatic you definitely need an LLMD. If you don't know where to find a good one, find one on seeking a doctor.
