I was wondering if anyone has had any success ? i.e, gotten much OR completely better. I am going on about 13 years and just got diagnosed by LLMD. Taking minocycline & cats claw for lyme and mycoplasma.
I was hoping that someone can let me know if things will ever get better.

There is alot of success with lyme just you dont hear from them because they move on with their lives, just like I will I hope.
I have a friend with lyme and he is currently doing great and basically well as of this past month and he was almost dead after 3.5 years of no treatment and severe parkinsons like symptoms

I'd say the same. You have to be a little careful reading LymeNet in that so many people who post here have been sick for a long, long time so their course of treatment is longer (so they post here a lot). I would also say that what Byron said is true too, the healed ones go away so you're left with the newly sick (and beginning treatment), the mid-treatment sick (on ABX going through changes in regimen) and the chronically sick (people with ++ years of treatment).
Just about everyone here seems to have improved from their baseline. You'll be better too. You'll see.
That's my take.

I agree with the previous post. Many people improve, it may take time. I got better after my first infection (see success story in General) then fell sick again this last May with reinfection.
now I'm getting out again, I think, doing mountain hiking, cycling, kayaking, no more the awful fatigue.
Cure, I dont' know, but getting back to normal life, I believe is totally possible for many.

Yup, people get better & move on!!! As a support group facilitator for years and years I can say without reservation that if you stick with abx you WILL get better- in my epxerience people who don't get better are always the ones who veer off chasing one alternative therapy after another- and sticking to nothing for long- the ones who get better all have this in common-
1. stick with abx 2. and get treated for ALL coinfections
These are the Lyme people I see who do the best- and if people do that they INVARIABLY get better!!!! !*)*!)*!)!!!!!!
