Lyme Disease Treatment in Meridian, ID
Lyme disease is straightforward when it’s caught early. It becomes far more complicated when symptoms persist after standard treatment, or when a tick bite years ago is only now being connected to today’s fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog. Vance Medical offers a comprehensive evaluation for both.
“Just because you haven’t found a cure, doesn’t mean there isn’t one.”
— Dr. Mark Vance, MD

When Symptoms Persist Beyond Standard Treatment
Standard Lyme disease treatment is a defined course of antibiotics, and for many patients caught early, that’s sufficient. For others, symptoms persist well beyond treatment — a pattern sometimes called post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, though the mechanisms behind it are still actively debated in the medical community.
Dr. Vance’s evaluation looks at persistent symptoms in the context of your full history — immune function, co-infections, and overall inflammatory burden — rather than assuming symptoms are unrelated once initial treatment is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
I finished antibiotics but still feel sick — is that normal?
It’s a recognized pattern in a subset of patients, though it’s a genuinely debated area of medicine. Dr. Vance’s evaluation is designed to look at what may still be contributing to your symptoms.
Do I need a positive Lyme test to be evaluated here?
No — a documented tick bite, exposure history, or a symptom pattern consistent with tick-borne illness is enough to start an evaluation, given known limitations in standard testing.
Will I need long-term antibiotics?
Extended antibiotic use for persistent Lyme symptoms is controversial and carries real risks. Dr. Vance will discuss the full range of options — not just antibiotics — based on your specific case.
