I landed in the hospital for 5 days with a case of acute Lyme Meningitis, which left one side of my face paralyzed. After going through a 21-day treatment of intervenous Ceftriaxone (Rocephin), the docs cut me loose (with my face still paralyzed) with a warning I'd probably have recurring symptoms. Thankfully a friend told me about what had finally cured HER chronic Lyme, which had plagued her for years, which was to take a recommended dose of ivermectin for 5 days (similar to covid), then take low-dose ivermectin for the following 30 days (1/4 dose). Then take a single full dose once a month for maintenance. About 10-20% of Lyme spirocytes are in a "bot" phase where the immune system doesn't recognize them as active, but ivermectin weakens and can kill them. If you HAVE an active Lyme infection, you're supposed to take the Doxycycline + Ivermectin together, but since I'd just finished up a full cycle of IV Ceftriaxone (which is like Doxycycline on steroids), I just took the ivermectin. Once a month I take my "maintenance" dose, but I have had NO recurring symptoms. I've regained function of around 85% of my face, but the neurologist said I'll probably have 15% permanent damage due to the Lyme parasites eating my brain. Blech! Bugs in your brain, how revolting! But the bugs are dead.
Oh, if you DO take doxycycline + ivermectin, be sure to take high-dose Vitamin C (1,000 mg/day) and drink a shit-ton of water every day to help flush it out. It will lessen the impact of the "bug" die-off, help you clear it better.

1000mg/day is high dose? High dose usually refers to 50-75g/day by IV. 1g/day is minimal dose for anyone.
