The message is this: The author got better - in terms of neuropsychiatric symptoms - with antibiotics but not with conventional treatments. THAT is the message patients and doctors who are struggling should embrace and learn more about.
imo
The fact that you were on some of the tetracyclines for months doesn't say much. Because to treat the whole thing requires 3 antibiotics not 1. The tetras alone will force the bacteria into their cystic forms over weeks and months. And then the tetras are useless. Most of the time you were on them was probably useless. Because the 2nd and 3rd were not on board at the time.
Without studying more on lyme this probably sounds weird I understand.
