With symptoms for only three months your recovery should be straightforward and not too long.
Problems are much worse for those of us who weren't diagnosed for years or were treated by non-llmd's.
I had Lyme for 3 years before starting treatment and I am doing great after less than a year of treatment. You should be feeling better soon. Prayers for a quick recovery.

Glad you got a diagnosis early. That is no easy feat with lyme.
Many of us you see still sick were sick a long time before we were diagnosed/treated
and then some more of us also have coinfections or secondary issues from being sick so long without treatment ...
so please try to remember that and when you read our posts... try not to let the stories on here worry u too much...
You should read sucess stories though... uwill see many get better

Good Luck, I am new as well and scared as hell, as I have no idea how long ago I was infected, was a fluke discovery by a covering doc.

I'm new too and scared. i was diagnosed 3 wks ago, still waiting for lab results to confirm it all.
Its been about 8 yrs since i've been sick and too many docs. to keep track of, and all say too much going on.
I started searching the net for my symptoms and ended up here and want to thank all of you.
I think i have everything listed on here including coinfections, i feel like i only have a couple months left.
I can barely walk but yet i have to work so i rest 2 days and work 3, dont know how long though.
What should i expect now? will i get sicker? start feeling better with treatment?

truckboss, i checked your other post; sorry you forgot to mention the meds you are on and dosages plus your co-infections.
if yu are able to list each one going down the page vs. across ... easier on our neuro minds!
yes, you are going to get WORSE BEFORE BETTER .... that means the tick's spirochetes are BEING KILLED OFF IN YOUR SYSTEM.
you mentioned you've been sick 8 years so they have invaded many places in your body and it's going to take time to Zap those areas. they hide everywhere.
you are going to need your rest, so glad you are splitting up your work week, and please BE CAREFUL SINCE YOU ARE A TRUCKER!! we care about you!
i recently got done reorganizing my newbie package w/info with complete table of contents, so check it out below the line, and click on the link there.
i know i have some things on herxing; can't remember since i've been gathering thigns for 4 years now!
