Sammie so sorry you are struggling! I was bitten when I was 8 and now I am 42. I believe that I finally got treated in a way that is going to keep me healthy for the rest of my life. You dr. is wrong. This forum is full of people who got "treated" and continue to have problems. Thus said, after everything I have been through I believe it is possible to get Lyme, get treated the right way, and go on to have a good life. I personally have experienced an amazing progress and I believe that I will eventually be completely well. It may be a good idea to find an LLMD near you who understands Lyme disease. Connie Strasheim wrote a book Beyond Lyme Disease. It is an excellent book you might want to look at. Here is the website:

Hope you find a good doctor soon!
