A two week round of antibiotics...for a disease I’ve had for over a decade....nearly paralyzed and killed me....caused being bed bound for almost 5 years now. Riiiiight.

My bf has had Lyme for 9 years but the infectious disease dr we saw here in Nebraska said Lyme disease isn’t real!!! Even though he was in Pennsylvania 9 years ago, and has every symptom under the sun, plus the bullseye rash, he tested positive for erlichiosis with 1 month of doxycycline which helped for 2 weeks but symptoms are back!!!!!! Please please help! He will die if this doesn’t get better! He is only 36 and had a heart attack 3 months ago! Please
