Can someone with Lyme Disease look completely fine on the outside, but in the inside, their brain is what's being affected...Or some other part...They may look fine on the outside but the disease is working full force on the inside

    In my experience yes. I've withdrawn from so many friends and family members, because they continue to say how well I look, so don't understand why I feel so ill. However, I do have days more recently, where I'm looking gaunt, but that is because I am on 600-1200mg of antibiotics a day

      Hi Danny,

      I've just finished a 3 month course of 3 antibiotics. The reason is to kill off the lymes parasites that were detected.

    Yes, absolutely. I'm sick of being told 'You look well though', when I feel like sh*t. The reason I may look well is because I've cut out all sugar, wheat and dairy from the diet, but the Lyme symptoms (pain around the eyes, head and left side of body/heart) continue, and the search for relief continues. Very much relate to Richard's comments above.

    Definitely. Lyme affects everyone differently. For me it causes a lot of mental fatigue (forgetfulness, brain fog, etc) but you would never know anything was happening from the outside.
