Does anyone know if there's a good cure for lyme disease?

Not to confuse you. It's not the rocky mountain spotted fever.
My mother has lyme disease. So I was just wondering if there was any good cures. She's had lyme disease for about 2 years now and she is still not better. But when she got it. I think she also got several infections with it. I think she has lupus with it. Could someone please help.

My mom has seen specialist. She's been on rocephin but they took her off of it. She has it so bad. That she even had to do treatments of IV recephin. The specialist that she goes too is a lyme disease specialist. The name is dr. Charles Chris. He's a very good dr I heard too. Mainly I guess what I'm wanting to know is if they have a cure for lupus. If they can get rid of her lupus, then that might help her out with the memory loss and her brain infections. See sometimes she complains of her head burning. Which I guess is a symtom of lupus. Also all of the sudden her legs are going out on her. So I just really don't know what to do. Well sorry I know these details are long. But I just wish there was something I could do.

Go to an infectious disease specialist. The lupus symptoms could be part of the Lyme disease, which must be taken care of with antibiotics.

Lyme is a very complex disease, often made more so by what are called "co-infections" (other diseases you got from the same tick bite that gave you Lyme.) It can also be complicated by issues such as environmental pollutants, toxic mold, yeast infections and other circumstances that assault the immune system. Also, many of the symptoms of Lyme are also symptoms of other diseases--lupus being one of them. So, this is not an easy disease.

Is your mom being seen by a Lyme specialist? Ideally, it would be one affiliated with ILADS--International Association of Lyme and Associated Diseases Society. Alas, there aren't too many of them around. Depending on where your mom lives, she might have to travel a bit to see one.

A good way to find a Lyme doc is to go to www.lymenet.org, click on flash discussions, and then click on "seeking a doctor." Lymenet is also a good way to learn about Lyme.

I didn't have Lyme Disease, I had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever that was never diagnosed, and thusly I was not treated. What happened to me is likely what has happened to your mother. I developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and was nearly worthless for over 20 years. There was nothing that my doctors could do for me. Nothing in the pharmacy could help me feel better. I felt like I had the flu every day. There was not a day to go by that I was not miserable.

Then this past spring, I found out about a product made from a blue-green algae called Aphanizomen flos-aquae. That product is called StemEnhance (no Space). My Chronic Fatigue Symptoms are a thing of the past. I will be 60 years old next week, and I feel in better shape than I did 25 years ago before I got the tick disease. This AFA extract will revolutionize health care.

I care about living again when for over 20 years, I was miserable. I know this sounds too good to be true, but it is true. When I first heard about StemEnhance, I had serious reservations, but my health was so horrid that I was willing to try anything, so I got this fairly inexpensive product.

How StemEnhance works is that 2 capsules of simply 2 extracts from AFA will increase your own body's adult stem cells by 25% to 30% within 2 hours. This effect will last about an hour. With this increase, the body has potentially an additional 3 to 4 million new cells (over and above what is normally circulating) that will circulate through the bloodstream to parts of the body that is under stress.

The statement about AFA increasing the body's adult stem cells by 25% or more has been validated and published in a heart medical journal, CRT (Cardiovascular Revascularization Therapies) Volume 8 July-September 2007. StemEnhance is the most wonderful thing that has happened to me in my life.

I will send you 2 free DVD's that will explain in detail how this product works. I take about 6 capsules a day. Since I am an independent agent for the company, StemTech Health Sciences, Inc., I get the product at wholesale, so my costs are about $60 a month. I feel like a new person. I feel like living. That $60 a month is like buying a pack of peanuts for what I'm getting back.

If you pay $25 for the membership and get on autoship, you can get a bottle for $39.95 which is what I pay. I am certain that this product will help your mother. It has helped my 86 year old mother who had a heart attack and advanced Parkinson's Disease. StemEnhance will help with everything, because what it does is increase the very thing that our bodies count on every day of our lives, adult stem cells.

Lyme disease is often diagnosed as lupus. Most doctors refuse to order a Lyme test from a good lab to rule out Lyme before giving a diagnosis of lupus, MS, fibromyalgia, arthritis, etc.. If they do test for Lyme they often only use tests that enrich the IDSA protocol authors.

My doctor consulted with an infectious disease specialist and used the protocol he recommended early on in my 3 year battle with Lyme, but his treatment failed and left me barely able to get out of bed! IDSA protocol is totally inadequate treatment for Lyme. ILADS protocol is much better, but it takes time. It costs much more and insurance companies do not like it because you take antibiotics until you get over Lyme symptoms.

John, my heart and prayers go out for you... it is difficult for someone who has lyme's... but sometimes it is even harder for their loved ones to try to help... your mom is very lucky that you are so kind and caring.

sometimes, my kids get really creeped out, and then they have to get away from me because of the weird stuff that happens since i got lymes. have you looked into attending any caretaker support groups? seems that those are mostly for people who take care of relatives with alzheimer's (which is something one of my docs wanted to treat me for.. but i have been very lucky, because i am having great improvement with latest round of antibiotics... let's hope that my system can tolerate the continued abx) anyway, maybe if you could meet with other people... maybe they could help provide you with encouragement and support, i am sure that you need some of that in your life

not to be predicting bad things... but someone i knew buried his mom and his sister, both within 2 years due to problems from raging lymes... he found poetry to be a good outlet, he wrote a poem a day for the last few years, sometimes his poems are dark and fearful, and i cry because now i have some idea of what he had to go through

i hope that your family has peace and blessings -- teresa
