How Can Lyme Disease Be Treated?

Hi. I just found out week ago that i have lyme disease. I m taking antibiotics twice a day. My stomach is not handling the antibiotics that well and have diah. three times a day. I m also anemic and getting iron infusions every week. I also found out about two weeks ago that i have a fatty liver so i need to cut down on carby. and sugars and exercise. My question is that today i felt like my skin was yellowish. Any ideas why that would be? thank you

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Patients treated with appropriate antibiotics in the early stages of Lyme disease usually recover rapidly and completely. Antibiotics commonly used for oral treatment include doxycycline.
Yellow skin is reported only by a few people with Lyme disease,so it is related to the disease.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-1. Eat to Improve Immune Function
-2 Take supplements to Help Improve Cellular Function
-3. Get Enough Rest & Manage Emotional Stress
-4. Reduce Mold & Parasite Exposure
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
