From what my doctor has taught me about "the three life-cycles" of the Lyme Disease causing spirochete, it seems highly unlikely that either course of the antibiotics you were on would have cleared it out entirely.

I suspect you were merely pushed back into the sort of partial remission I suffered for six years following my initial diagnosis in 2000. Like you I assumed the arthritis I carried was merely an annoying, lingering, after-effect as opposed to an ongoing symptom during which Lyme took a greater foothold.

If you can afford to, I'd urge you to get checked out by Dr Jaller. There's no point perpetuating misery, and perhaps even shortening your life, if there's something which can be done about it.
