My bowel movements are all so sudden, and most times liquid..I try to be very active in a day, however, this problem is slowing me down every day..What can I ad more to say? what would be you suggestion? I appreciate your input to my problem..Robert Scialpi New Paltz NY
[|AI|]  Hello, Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern I went through your query, Approximately 10 to 20% of patients (particularly those who were diagnosed later), who received appropriate antibiotic treatment, may have persistent or recurrent symptoms and are considered to have Post-treatment Lyme Disease Syn Chat Doctor.  The treatment of these symptoms is dependent on individual areas as they are not due to the infection but due to effect of the infection on the body, and this depends on the site of symptoms, you may need steroids in controlled doses to control the aftereffects, and some symptomatic treatment, our aim is to help the body come out of this after effect. I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. Thanks.
