I have lymes disease and i use meth. can the meth make lymes disease worse?

Two bad things: Meth doesn't cause lyme disease. Lyme disease doesn't promote meth use. So treatment involves 2 different things. Antibiotics for lyme disease and addiction medicine, 12 step programs, counseling or other help for your addiction.
