My son had lyme this past spring. He was treated for 60 days and we think we caught it early. He has been healthy since end of June. My question is I heard that once you have lyme when you get sick that you are more sick than the average person and for longer. Has anyone else heard or experienced that?

That's true for me.... but I've had this most of my life. Time will tell for your son. I hope he does great.

Just be aware that Lyme can come back and then would need to be treated again.

I had undiagnosed lyme, babesiosis, and bartonella for 10 years. Then, I got diagnosed and treated for it.

I completed my treatment over 5 years ago, and I am still symptom-free.

I don't get more sick than the average person, and I am not sick longer than the average.

In every way I am back to my old self. My health is good. I have just had a few minor normal illnesses in the last 5 years plus a herniated disc. I am normal.
