This doesn't mean patients who have had lyme and don't fully recover are not sick, just that there is no confirmed way to "cure" them.

George, I respect you, but I invite you to visit me and my wife at any time. You would choose long term ABX over what her life has become. There are NUMEROUS peer reviewed studies that show benefit from long term ABX. IDSA guidelines however were written by doctors who were clearly demonstrated to have ties to both drug and bio-tech companies who have a vested financial interest in Chronic Lyme not existing.
