NeuroTalk Support Groups - Lyme-Associated Parkinsonism

Interesting, I just tested positive for, Borrelia burgdorferi which could be a false positive for lyme disease. I was given a prescription for 6 months and 3 different types of antibiotic, acidophlis and some probiotics. We'll see how it goes...

their patients responded to anti-Parkinson's medications, which is unusual in MSA, and they also improved on antibiotics. This dissimilarity may indicate a different underlying pathology compared to the present case, in which there was little or no improvement with anti-Parkinson's drugs and antibiotics. Alternatively, as our patient did not receive antibiotics until 14 months after initial infection, he may have suffered irreversible neuronal damage by the time treatment was initiated.
