They will tell you there is no such thing as long term lyme...don't believe it. You need serious antibiotics...IV ones. My niece has been battling this disease for over ten years...my sister has fought to keep her alive. She has arthritis, diabetes, liver issues and can barely see. You have caught it fairly early. With good treatment, you may be able to head it off. Good luck.
