For early cases, prompt treatment is usually curative.[120] However, the
severity and treatment of Lyme disease may be complicated due to late
diagnosis, failure of antibiotic treatment, and simultaneous infection with
other tick-borne diseases (coinfections), including ehrlichiosis, babesiosis
, and immune suppression in the patient.
A meta-analysis published in 2005 found some patients with Lyme disease have
fatigue, joint or muscle pain, and neurocognitive symptoms persisting for
years, despite antibiotic treatment.[7] Patients with late stage Lyme
disease have been shown to experience a level of physical disability
equivalent to that seen in congestive heart failure.[121] In rare cases,
Lyme disease can be fatal.[122]
Many patients report a lack of understanding among employers, family, and
friends as being the most frustrating aspect of Lyme disease. The fatigue
that accompanies it often is seen as laziness, or a lack of desire,
especially after the disease enters its second and third week of treatment.
