After 2nd vaccine the pt experienced memory loss, shortness of breath, headaches, mood swings, confusion, fatigue, dizziness, joint pain, which is ongoing. The pt was treated again with antibiotics (long term). He continues to have problems and is still on antibiotics at this time. The follow up received on 3/7/02 states, "flu like symptosm dr gave 2nd inject. didn't think it was a reaction. My husband now has neurological problems from vaccine. My husbnad was diagnosed with Lyme disease in June of 1999. He had a very bad rash that wrapped around his chest. Engulfing his heart. He also had flu like symptoms. His regular doctor went over the dematologists suggestion of spinal tap and IV antibiotics, and pt received 3 weeks of antibiotics which only helped somewhat. In the fall it was suggested he get the lymerix vaccine against my better judgement, since I only work with animals. We would nevere give a vaccine to a pet with Lyme disease. So agian my husband listened t o his doctor and got the vaccine 3/3/00. By the 10th he was complaining about flu like symptosm again... his doctor brushed it off and gave the second dose of lymerix 4 weeks later. My husband has been struggling with neurological problems ever since. At that point I pushed for the IV antibiotic treatment which helped a bit but by April of 2001 the memory, concentration, achy joints, just feeling sick reoccurred. We are now seeing a doctor out of state since no one seems to know how to treat him up here. I am very upset this vaccine was ever put on the market and I think the ones responsible should pay. We did refuse the booster vaccine in March 2001."
