Suggest Treatment For Chronic Lyme Disease
Is there a physician who will treat Chronic Lyme Disease in Jacksonville, Florida? I was the first documented case in the state of Wisconsin in 1988 and the disease has again returned. Now that we live primarily in Florida I am looking for a doctor to treat it. Is there a test for patients who had Lyme Disease that showed up 27 years ago?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate, your concern I agree that lyme disease may be chronic one, but this is mainly happens due to late diagnosis, and despite the antibiotic some patient may shows some clinical symptoms, PCR would be the best test in case of chronic infection, but may not need antibiotic but can be tired with vaccination, hope this information helps, take care, have a nice day.
