It kept cutting off when someone was speaking.

I have Lyme Disease too. Lyme disease should be broadcast on the news, way more than it is now. It is a pandemic. Swine flu is a decoy away from the truth.

My wife was misdiagnosed by doctors for 20 + years until she finally tested positive for Lyme which is of course now chronic and very hard to erradicate. Her Lyme manifested as Lyme arthritis which has destroyed her joints and caused severe muscle atrophy. It has sucked the life out of her, but she is now being treated at Sierra Integrative Medicine in Rena, Nevada. They use hollistic based IV treatments and seem to have great success. We have hope that my wife will have positive results!

Not sure Im remembering entirely correctly, but from what I recall

I was put on Rocephin intravenously. for 52 doses 5 day on (weekends) two days off roughly 2 1/ - 2 ¾ months and I took Zithromax orally every other days for the same amount of time.

Also, I believe just as important to my healing process is that I kept a positive mental outlook. I had a supportive husband and although Im not a religious person, I am very Spiritual person.
