Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends what specific manifestation of lyme disease you mean and what therapies were used to treat it.

i've had lyme disease.  can i get it again?

Early treatment and proper prevention is important.

Question 10

does lyme disease return after being treated?

Accepted Answer

Yes-if Rx incomplete: Lyme disease may return if the treatment was insufficient. In the early phase, within weeks to a few months of a first tick bite, then a course of oral antibiotics should cure the problem. If the lyme disease is  first diagnosed with systemic problems such as arthritis or neuropathy, then treament takes much longer, and incomplete treatment can be followed by a recurrence of symptoms.
