What if you still have symptoms after treatment?

There is a debate among some doctors that persistent Lyme (long-haul Lyme) does not exist. These doctors believe once a short bout of doxycycline is given, you should be cured and that lingering symptoms are post treatment Lyme for which there is no treatment or known etymology. Clinically it has been shown that additional treatment is beneficial and can bring Lyme complex to remission in some patients. If you find yourself in this situation, find a Lyme specialist (on this page) to evaluate your symptoms and recommend next steps.

Disulfiram

Disulfiram is an important, recent drug discovery in the treatment of borrelia and babesia. In 2016, Dr. Jayakumar Rajadas studied the efficacy of 4,000 existing drugs in the treatment of borrelia and babesia. Disulfiram was identified as the top treatment and eradicated these microorganisms in lab and mouse studies. Patient treatment began in 2018 and has continued to pick up steam as more patients have had success, even in difficult cases with years of failed treatment.
