I was on antibiotics for about 15 months before I had what you could call a dramatic improvement for some symptoms. It can take longer. Spirochetes can form cysts and biofilms, etc. Co-infections can complicate things. Different strains can react to meds differently, etc. I'm still on meds more than two years after diagnosis. In any case, it can take years to get better in some cases. And some symptoms may just be from permanent damage or from the (theorized) auto-immune response to Lyme. Some of my symptoms (endocarditis, myocarditis, brain lesions, etc.) are definitely permanent. But I'm thankful I didn't give up on antibiotics because of the "experts."
