My daughter had lyme when she was nine. At the time, because we didn't know how long she had been suffering, she was treated for almost a year with two antibiotics. She stopped one at about 5 months, I think. But the other she took for apx. 10 months. She definitely got rid of it but her immune system has never been the same unfortunately. I don't know if it was the right course of treatment or over treatment. I just know she doesn't have it now. I believe you need to hit lyme really hard initially and if you catch it early, you have a good chance of getting rid of it. It is a complicated disease and once it gets in your system, it is a nightmare.
