End of Treatment

It was a good week here at The Healing Arts Partnership. One of my patients with chronic Lyme disease graduated from treatment while another group of patients seen this week are nearing that point. While I enjoy many aspects of my practice, seeing patients complete treatment and celebrating that with them is what I enjoy most.

Can Lyme disease be cured or just put into remission? The answer depends on when treatment is started.

Here is a Lyme Byte about testing to see if Lyme treatment is done. As Marty Ross MD explains unfortunately there is not a done test. This is a recording from Conversations with Marty Ross MD on 10/22/14.

There is no such thing as a "done" test for Lyme. In this video article, Marty Ross, MD explains why the elispot blood test misses active Lyme disease. It should not be used to decide if a treatment is done.
