This is a case study on a 56 year old patient who contracted Lyme disease as a teen but never had it treated, and eventually developed a 6-year set of persistent symptoms:
The patient also presented:
Chronic fatigue, depression, short term memory-loss and a difficulty in finding the right words.
The patient was given Immume Immunoglobin* intravenously, as well as supplements and the anti-inflamatory drug flavone luteolin and antibiotics for 9 months.
After 2-3 months there were already signs of improvement and after 9 months the patient was entirely symptom-free.
Although the symptoms have receded, that doesn't mean the Post-Lyme Syndrom is gone completely, therefore the routine wasn't discontinued; it's still ongoing, with no side-effects so far.
*Immune Immunoglobin is a method of treating antibody deficiencies.
