I was treated for lyme disease while it was in its early stages about 3 months ago but have been feeling some of the symptoms i had before, is it possible i could still be suffering from it?I cant find anything else to explain the way i feel.

Yes, the bugs can hide in your system and then come roaring back after you thought you were well. Educate yourself about this complicated illness.

yes. it is very possible you still have Lyme Disease. Think of it like Cancer. it can be under remission and it can come back. Go to the doctor. Also, I have heard from a few individuals that they had success using a zapper to eliminate or lessen the symptoms of their Lyme Disease. I have not used this myself so I recommend you totally research this yourself. here is a website to get you started: zap.intergate.ca/

Hi Rasko

To answer your question yes. THe immune system is probably still weak and you need a lot nutrition, water, and better blood circulation to improve.

Here are some ideas to start the healing process. Contacts on the bottom.

Quick Action Steps for Lyme Disease

1. To help determine if you have Lyme Disease, go to Dr. Burrascano's symptom checklist (a.k.a. Risk Profile) using the following link: www2.lymenet.org/domino/file.n…

2. Avoid all alcohol and sugars, all processed and fried foods, all refined flour products, commercial fruit and vegetable juices, artificial sweeteners, and foods that contain hydrogenated oils and trans-fatty acids. Dairy products, caffeine, and non-herbal teas should be consumed sparingly, if at all.

3. Emphasize a diet of organic, whole foods, with plenty of fresh fruits, complex whole grains, organic free-range meats, poultry, and wild caught fish, and drink an abundance of pure, filtered water.

4. Also be sure to be tested for food allergies and sensitivities and eliminate all foods for which you test positive.

5. useful nutrients include vitamin a, beta-carotene, vitamin B1, biotin, inositol, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, omega-3 oils, calcium pantothenate, magnesium, and zinc, as well as CoQ10, acidophilus, the amino acid L-carnitine, and thymus gland extract.

6. Helpful herbs include astragalus, gingko biloba, ginseng, and maitake and reishi mushrooms, as well as cordyceps and Laryx.

7. Get plenty of rest and learn how to effectively minimize and manage stress.

8. To ensure full recovery, also seek out the help of support groups and organizations dedicated to providing information about Lyme disease. the following doctors and organizations are a good place to start:

Best of health to you

Yes.
Though I don't agree it's "like cancer", it CAN come back…IF you were "insufficiently treated"… OR got bit AGAIN.
It is NOT like the flu, where you build up an immunity, as ea Lyme spirochette is slightly different from the next (there are believed to be dozens of sub-species) PLUS a few "ketes" can often evade the immune system- and abx- by "hiding" INSIDE cells & in tissues/ fluids that are away from the bloodstream.
getting back to what's "sufficient" to treat, most Lyme groups & associations recommend 4 – 6 weeks of an abx like dyoxycycline taken twice a day (typ adult: 100mg b.i.d.)
though 3 weeks is sufficient in MOST cases, but… why take a chance with such a stubborn disease?
Go see a doc FAMILIAR with treating Lyme & have some tests run. Sending the blood to a good lab like IgeneX (PaloAlto CA) or MDL Labs (NJ) for an ELISA AND Western blots is highly recommended.
A '+' on Lyme-specific bands for your "IgM Western blot" indicate a current infection. All antibodies revert to 'IgG +' after a couple months. It's a somewhat unreliable test, but along with a full clinical picture, a good doc can make the call.
Good luck!
