Hello,
Lyme disease is cured with antibiotic doxycycline for 14 days. The tiredness and fatigue and other Lyme disease symptoms may continue to last for about two other weeks. You will continue to feel better until fully recovered.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
