Treatment as in what I would call partial cure. As far as I can tell I'm fine. It's difficult for me to determine if something has to do with my age or not or other issues, like arthritis or fallout from Lyme
Blood tests indicate the past infection from a year ago but Negative on an acute infection.
Edit: realized I didn't answer your question. No on lifetime meds. Course of antibiotics cleared things up
I know someone who apparently didn't catch it in time because they now have to avoid red meat. That's great that antibiotics worked for you, even if it's only partially. Avoiding meat products because it will send you into shock is no fun.
Apologies, realized this was about the meat allergies version. I didn't get that, I got "just plain old Lyme" (which still sucks)
