How does prednizone help the Lyme patient?
Trick question- Do not take steroids if Lyme disease is even suspected, unless it is a life threatening emergency. Steroids suppress the immune system and allow the spirochetes a non-challenged environment in which to multiply. Many people who now suffer with chronic cases of Lyme disease were given steroids and are now chronically ill, disabled or have died. If you must take steroids it is recommended to take antibiotics during that time.
