If you are suffering from Lyme disease, you must be knowing better, how it sucks to swallow those strong antibiotics down your throats every day. Hey! But, do you know, using antibiotics for two to four weeks is enough to treat that tick-borne bacteria-led disease?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, it does, according to new guidelines released by the U.S. neurologists. They also demand that there is no compelling evidence of benefits from longer treatments of the disease. <\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been estimated that in the past few years, Lyme disease has spread to much of Ontario, southern British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada.<\/p>

\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n

Following the symptoms of migraine, weakness, multiple skin rashes, painful or stiff joints, abnormal heartbeat and extreme fatigue, the disease may affect the nervous system in about 10 to 15 per cent of infected patients, if left untreated. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever be the results, the guidelines are sure to kick up considerable controversy and uncertainty about the best approach for treating neuroborreliosis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is simply because, to prevent long-term complications, some doctors, on one hand, are still recommending weeks or even months of antibiotics dosages; while on the other hand, the new study has failed to find any compelling evidence, which is convincing enough to prolong treatment with antibiotics.<\/strong><\/p>\n
