The problem is if you were able to know it converted to cyst, you would more then likely have some spirochetes and cell-wall-deficient remaining.
That's the problem how do you know what form each of these buggers are in at any current time in your body?
That is why a lot of LLMD treat all forms at the same time.
I don't know how to answer your question. I have all the symptoms that you list almost exactly.
Good question.

Hi derk
Well there are lyme patients who, for various reasons, cannot take a full arsenel of antibiotics to treat Lyme and co-infections.
Some of these people do quite well just taking Doxy, but the improvement is slow. One lady (connected with the Lyme Disease Association of California) said that on low dose Doxy, it was three months before she felt any releaf at all, and three years before she could plan her life beyond 1 day at a time.
She eventually got back about 90% of the functioning she had before she became sick while on Doxy, but gets sick when she goes off of it. Consequently, she just stays on it.
Doxy will address Lyme (although it will probably encyst), Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other rickisii infections, BUT NOT Bart, Babs, and others.
And most people are infected with something else from the tick, besides Lyme.
Some people feel relief right away when they do Doxy. Others, it takes a long time, as mentioned above.
It would be best for you to see a LLMD, particulary since you could also have Babs or Bart, which wouldn't be treated with Doxy.
Go to "Seeking a Doctor" on this website.
If that is not possible for you now, you could try the herbal route: www.buherhealinglyme.com. Also the Cowden protocal or Byron White's herbs for Lyme and Coinfection.
But, the LLMD would be the best place to start.
Sorry for my spelling. I'm foggy today.
