What Is Chronic Lyme Disease?
Chronic Lyme disease, or post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, is a common bacterial infection that spreads to humans via infected ticks. Some experts believe the bacteria can trigger an autoimmune response, causing symptoms that last well after the infection itself is gone.
As many as 476,000 people may contract Lyme disease each year in the U.S. alone, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Lyme disease is difficult to treat, leaving many patients with chronic symptoms despite standard antibiotic treatments. Lyme disease in its chronic state can lead to symptoms that are often overlooked or misdiagnosed, including fever, rash, facial paralysis, arthritis, mental fog, fatigue, and sleeplessness.
Research has found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy and other interventions used in the Aviv Medical Program can provide effective chronic Lyme disease treatment.

FAQ: Chronic Lyme Treatment
-
What are the symptoms of chronic Lyme disease?
What are the symptoms of chronic Lyme disease?
Symptoms of chronic Lyme disease differ from those of acute Lyme disease and may include fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, sleep problems, neurological problems, and mental health challenges. Some of the initial flu-like symptoms may persist after an acute infection, but chronic Lyme requires specialized long-term management for effective relief.
-
How is chronic Lyme diagnosed?
How is chronic Lyme diagnosed?
Diagnosing chronic Lyme disease is challenging, particularly because the symptoms can mimic other health conditions, like fibromyalgia. If Lyme disease is suspected, blood tests that detect antibodies that fight Lyme bacteria can often confirm a diagnosis. Note that it’s never too late after an acute infection to seek a diagnosis for the chronic condition—it’s possible to test for Lyme disease years later.
-
What is the treatment for Lyme disease?
What is the treatment for Lyme disease?
Initial treatment for acute Lyme disease generally involves antibiotics to target the Borrelia bacteria that causes Lyme. Treatment for chronic Lyme disease involves other therapies to reduce inflammation, manage pain, and support overall health. Advanced intervention is typically required to address long-term symptoms of Lyme disease.
-
What is the best treatment for chronic Lyme disease?
What is the best treatment for chronic Lyme disease?
The best treatment for chronic Lyme should include therapies that go beyond treating individual symptoms to support holistic healing. This can include treatments to boost overall immunity and mitigate the internal impact of the infection. Comprehensive treatment for chronic Lyme disease supports the body’s healing from multiple angles, addressing both the infection and its effects on the brain and body.
-
What is the most accurate test for Lyme disease?
What is the most accurate test for Lyme disease?
No test is 100% accurate, but medical experts recommend a two-tiered approach: an enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) blood test followed by a Western blot test using a blood or tissue sample. Antibodies against Lyme bacteria can linger in the body for years. In some patients, tests may be able to detect Lyme disease 20 years later or more.
-
What happens if Lyme disease goes untreated?
What happens if Lyme disease goes untreated?
Lyme bacteria can spread from the initial site to other parts of the body. Untreated Lyme disease can lead to health complications in the brain and body, potentially affecting the heart, nervous system, and musculoskeletal system. Treatment of Lyme disease is important to prevent additional persistent health effects.
-
What is post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome?
What is post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome?
Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) is another name for chronic Lyme disease and refers to lingering symptoms that persist beyond initial treatment for an acute infection. It’s believed to be caused by multiple factors, including the damaging effects of Lyme bacteria and the immune system’s response to the bacteria.
-
Can you get over Lyme disease without treatment?
Can you get over Lyme disease without treatment?
Because it’s a bacterial infection, Lyme disease usually requires antibiotics for full recovery. Some people seem to recover from Lyme disease without treatment, while others develop chronic symptoms despite receiving treatment. It’s always recommended to seek a medical evaluation, even if it seems you’ve fully recovered. Doing so can reduce the likelihood of long-term health issues.
