    Overwhelmed with PANS and Lyme disease

    Lyme and PANS: A Critical Connection in TeenagersAt just 16, my patient found herself facing a complex and overwhelming set of symptoms. What began as ordinary teenage stress evolved into something far more debilitating—raging outbursts, severe compulsions, motor and vocal tics, and memory problems. Her academic performance plummeted, and her social life disintegrated. Diagnosed with Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS), she and her family embarked on a challenging journey f...

    Strategies for Preventing Chronic Lyme Disease

    Chronic Lyme disease, characterized by persistent symptoms that can linger for months or even years, is a growing concern for both patients and healthcare providers. Traditionally, Lyme disease has been seen as a straightforward infection—diagnosed early, treated with antibiotics, and resolved. However, for a significant number of people, Lyme disease can evolve into a chronic condition, marked by ongoing fatigue, pain, and cognitive issues. But what if much of this chronic suffering could be...

    The likely reason for relapse is failure to eradicate the spirochete

    The likely reason for relapse is failure to eradicate the spirochete completely with a two-week course of intravenous ceftriaxone therapy,” wrote Drs. Logigian, Kaplan, and Steere in their seminal 1990 paper on chronic neurologic Lyme disease. This observation remains as relevant today as it was over three decades ago, highlighting a persistent challenge in the treatment of Lyme disease: the difficulty in fully eliminating the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium, which can lead to relapse or persi...

    My patient is better after early aggressive treatment for Lyme disease

    My patient recovered from her chronic illness after receiving early aggressive treatment, a result that underscores the importance of this approach in managing Lyme disease. Chronic illness resulting from Lyme disease is one of the most compelling reasons I advocate for early aggressive treatment. Lyme disease is not just a simple infection; if left inadequately treated, it can lead to a range of severe and persistent conditions. Chronic neurologic Lyme disease can cause debilitating sym...

    I take an “early aggressive” treatment approach to Lyme disease

    When I first began treating Lyme disease, I adopted an “escalation” approach. This method involved starting with a standard course of doxycycline, typically lasting a month, and then observing how the patient responded. If the symptoms persisted or if I suspected that a co-infection might be present, I would escalate the treatment—adding or changing medications as needed. This approach was cautious and reactive, focusing on adjusting the treatment plan based on the patient’s progress over tim...

    Exploring Treatment Options for Lyme Disease

    The treatment landscape for Lyme disease has undergone significant evolution over the years, offering a wider array of options to manage this multifaceted illness. When I first began treating Lyme disease in 1987, the primary antibiotic prescribed was doxycycline. This choice was driven by doxycycline’s effectiveness not only against Lyme disease itself but also against co-infections such as Ehrlichia and Anaplasmosis. These co-infections, often transmitted by the same ticks that carry Lyme, ...

    My evolving Lyme disease practice

    Since opening my Lyme disease practice in 1987, I’ve witnessed significant changes in how we diagnose and treat this complex illness. Early on, I prescribed doxycycline for Lyme disease and Ehrlichia. However, my first three patients in 1987 did not respond to doxycycline, so I referred one to Boston for further consultation. They returned with a recommendation for amoxicillin, marking the first major shift in my treatment approach. By 1990, I had started prescribing intravenous ceftriax...

    My patient had not heard of chronic Lyme disease conditions

    My patient’s understanding of Lyme disease and its complexities was incomplete. Although he was familiar with nymphal ticks, he lacked awareness about adult ticks, which also play a crucial role in transmitting Lyme disease. He knew about the Bull’s-eye erythema migrans rash, a clear sign of early Lyme disease, but was unaware of the other types of rashes associated with chronic Lyme disease or different tick-borne infections. He had heard of early Lyme disease but didn’t realize that ch...
