But, 10 years ago, testing wasn't accurate and doctors didn't know what medications to use for Lyme and other tick borne diseases and people went without treatment. Testing is much more reliable today and most tick borne diseases are 100 percent curable. I am on Doxycillin for at least a month and started it within a couple of weeks of having the acute (flu-like) phase. I'm not worried about any long term affects.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280988022460450306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1935248937747867206.post-56080602534202676002013-07-10T08:28:18.562-04:002013-07-10T08:28:18.562-04:00"Most tick borne infections will not result i..."Most tick borne infections will not result in lasting effects if treated correctly, but the key is they have to be treated." This is only partially true. You must catch the disease EARLY as you did and get complete treatment(typically at LEAST a month of antibiotics is required)in order to *cure* this. Take it from someone who did NOT get treated right away...I have had Lyme/coinfections for 20 YEARS. <br /><br />For now, eat really well, drink lots of fluids and rest...you should be ok for VT :)RawBodyGoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03254891126964141203noreply@blogger.com
