Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome
“Approximately 5 to 10 percent of patients treated for Lyme disease may have lingering symptoms of fatigue, pain, or joint and muscle aches at the time they finish treatment. In some patients, these symptoms can last for more than 6 months. Although sometimes called chronic Lyme disease, this condition is properly known as Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS).”
