How Often Does Lyme Disease Redevelop After Original Treatment?

How often does lyme disease redevelop after original treatment? I was diagnosed more than a year ago, was treated and fine for a while. Now experiencing general fatigue, achy knees and legs, all of which seems to come and go from day to day, with some days better than others.

Hello,

* It is the reactivation of Lyme`s disease responsible through residual germs inside the ganglia nearby the affected region

* If adequately treated for desired period of times, recurrent chances are very less.

* If inadequately treated, chances of redevelopment are high.
