I noticed that a lot of people have different symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Some people have symptoms which are overlooked or just brushed off as nothing bad and for some it is very debilitating. Is it possible to have Lyme but your symptoms are very mild and barely noticeable? Does that mean your Immune system strong enough to keep it at bay? Also is it possible that your immune system is fighting it on its own and that even without treatment and with the right diet you are making small improvements?

Ya I had lyme for 7 years and had no symptoms. I had symptoms a few months ago and after 2 months of doxy the symptoms are almost gone again. How you deal with lyme is all about your immune system and your genetics. Just like how some people are immune to aids while others will die of it. Its the sad truth.

During the 7 years of lyme i was eating healthy and doing A LOT of exercise. My symptoms actually came after not doing strenuous exercise for several months so exercise could be very important for keeping lyme at bay.

I often wonder that too, Kevin.

I think stress is a big player.

I've always been healthy (so it seemed) and rarely got the flu...and if I did, it lasted just a couple of days.

But man - lyme hit me hard.... I was going through a very, long-term stress at the time (my father's illness and subsequent death) And it was after approximately 3 years of this stress that I got sick....

Maybe it also has to do with when you were initially infected and how much time passes before treatment. It's thought I have had a smoldering bartonella infection since early childhood...and basically kept it in check.

Oh Girlie I am very sorry to hear about your fathers death!

I haven't tested for Lyme yet but I have a feeling I have it. It could be that I was bitten during childhood.

I play Golf a lot and I really loved it when I was younger. I would spend 24/7 playing golf outside and walking in grassy areas. I don't recall bitten by a tick but I lived in a tick hotspot.

It was last year I had quite some stress with school and just being mad for no reason and it could have triggered everything. I will get a check up soon!

The weird thing is that I feel better than maybe 3 months ago. I started eating healthy and drinking detox juices. Some symptoms stayed and some vanished but I think it is Lyme based on what I experienced!
