What is the life expectancy of someone with Lyme Disease?
Life expectancy of people with Lyme Disease and recent progresses and researches in Lyme Disease
No one knows.

Not enough data to answer this. Lyme does kill and people do end up dying of lyme but misdiagnosed with diseases such as ALS, Alzheimer, MS etc. So cannot accurately speak to these numbers.
I haven't seen much scientific progress in the area of Lyme disease. Not enough research dollars, medical community is not interested.
Complications are many. Heart, brain, lungs, suicide..

With correct treatment and no major organs involved. Life expectancy would be the same as someone else.
Complications of untreated Lyme disease are vast as can affect all major organs, especially the heart.
I would only recommend antibiotics as this is where my knowledge is however that's not up to me to chose. I would provide links to herbal and immune therapy ( stem cell treatment and so on).

That totally depends on MANY factors. I feel like since I started treatment over two years ago that there were several times I was going to die. There were also several times that I prayed I would. If Lyme starts attacking your heart, that could have a lot to do with life expectancy.

Probably longer than the general population if you're doing it right. Because I have to take care of my immune system I have a job with less stress, I have to eat clean and I have to take probiotics and the proper supplements. I do think this will extend my life.

Unpredictable, just as with any individual. It does not necessarily have ANY impact on longevity!

Lyme affects the heart, nervous system, brain, digestive system, and every other part of the body. Life expectancy of those with Lyme is reduced due to death through secondary conditions. In addition the rate of suicide is many times that of the general population. For this to change, more countries must accept the existence of Lyme, provide quality testing, and approve treatment options.

everyone is different, it depends on their choices and doctor

There is so much more we know about this disease now so I do hope for a more comprehensive approach in treatments of Lyme and autoimmune diseases I have read that very few die of Lyme disease specifically however Lyme contributes to the illnesses they label us with that does

I don't think anybody can guess the life expectancy of someone. Lifestyle, DNA and environment all have an affect on our outcomes. Doctors shouldn't do it either, in my opinion. If a person thinks they are going to die, tgey will.

Many people die of complications of Lyme disease (such as heart-attack) and they are diagnosed with wrong cause of death. There are many complications Lyme disease can cause (arthritis, meningo-encephalitis (infalmattion of the brain which I personally had, which can me deadful) and that is why it shall be treated as soon as possible.

I cant not answer this as every patient is different. Co infections should be tested for as well.

If you watch your heart, brain, and central nervous system many can live a full life. If you don’t hit remission which some don’t. Your quality of life will be less but, if you do IV antibiotics for 18 months to 2 years you can get your life back. The number 1 cause of death based on the ones we have listed on Facebook it’s mainly Lyme carditis or suicide. That’s why I wrote earlier watch inspirational and motivational videos

You can live a normal length life or die immediately. It all depends on how bad it hits you, what mutations of your genes do you have, do you metabolize properly or detox properly. Check Co-infections. Some are very deadly.

The life expectancy of someone with Lyme is all in your will to survive this crisis if it is that bad you ask yourself over and over.. it’s your will to survive

There is no death sentence associated with Lyme although it can be fatal. Serious complications can occur with various bodily systems, heart, GI, Brain. I have no doubt that Lyme will kill me in the end, but I’m living my life.

Patience and a lot of suffering, and wait to recover as much as possible

This disease is horrible and not embraced by the medical community as a problem. I started ozone infusions three years ago (after 7 years of undiagnosed infection) and it has given me back some quality of life. You must have a passion for life and want to live or it will take you down.

After the treatment, you can achieve a recession and live your normal life.
The diagnosis to this day remains reserved for the function.
You need to always be in constant check-ups once in recession.
Until today, there is no cure.

A priori, the Disease of Lyme is not a fatal disease, however, depends on which systems in the body are affected. Although there are no studies that support it, there is a record of deaths in patients with Lyme by neurological conditions, respiratory failure and cardiac arrest.

The thing most important is THAT ALL THE DOCTORS ARE TRAINING in-DEPTH ABOUT THIS AWFUL DISEASE AND THAT IT STOPS WITH THE ELISA TEST ! !

Lyme disease can be long and painful. If we take his health in hand, and that they respect a minimum of hygiene of life, and a healthy diet, it does not kill. However, it can confuse and depress them to the point that people who no longer believe in it are killing themselves. Therefore, it is necessary to hang in there and have the courage to do everything in our power to heal.

The life expectancy depends on the level of infestation and within a reasonable time or not to support the disease.

Few things are made concerning advanced medical care this disease, some doctors even believe that the chronicity of the disease does not exist...!!!!
And don't talk about the elisa test in the lab that are false negatives....
The wide-ranging debate, the state also did well in the deaf ear for the thousands of sick wandering medical negligence to prove a bite or erythema migrans....
