What to Do at Six or More Months of Care
Chronic Lyme can be very difficult to address. To recover requires much more than antibiotics alone. When a care regimen is blocked at six months and beyond, the basic steps (Parts 1-13) in The Ross Lyme & Tick-borne Disease Support Protocol may help and taking some or all of the additional steps discussed in this article. Take specific steps based on your own situation.
Persister Lyme Infection Regimen
New research shows that Lyme can develop persisters. These are germ forms that go into hibernation and can ignore antibiotics. This condition can occur after someone is on antibiotics for some time. If you have tried antibiotics before and not gotten better, or if you are a year or more into care and not seeing good improvements, consider a persister Lyme regimen. For more information read Persister Lyme & Bartonella Options.
If You Are Becoming More Allergic With Care
Chronic Infections can trigger excessive allergic reactions to food, prescription and natural medicines, and to the environment. If this is your problem, consider using supplements, diet and medicines for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. For more information read Mast Cell Activation Syndrome & Lyme.

Co-infections
Continually review your symptoms to see if you have a coinfection that was missed. Addressing Lyme is like peeling the layers of an onion. As you progress in your care, it sometimes becomes more apparent which coinfections are present. In addition, it is possible to have coinfection relapses.
Autoimmune illness and chronic Inflammation
Yeast
If you have a number of these symptoms: increased sugar cravings, intestinal gassiness or bloating, recent vaginal yeast infection, oral yeast, and/or vaginal or rectal itching consider addressing yeast overgrowth in the intestines.
