Lyme Disease Care in Hampton, NH

Appropriate Lyme treatment comes first

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection associated with infected blacklegged tick bites. CDC guidance identifies appropriate antibiotics as the treatment for Lyme disease. Early recognition and treatment can help prevent more serious illness.

A holistic care plan should keep that medical treatment central while addressing the concerns affecting your life. A new tick exposure, rash, or other new symptoms may need prompt medical assessment; do not wait for an introductory wellness call to seek that care.

What Lyme testing can—and cannot—tell you

A clinician considers symptoms, the likelihood of tick exposure, other possible explanations, and testing when indicated. CDC recommends FDA-cleared antibody tests used in a two-step process.

Timing matters. Antibodies can take several weeks to develop, so testing early in infection may be negative. A positive antibody result can remain positive after treatment and does not, by itself, establish a continuing infection. Bring the actual reports and the dates they were collected so the results can be considered in context.

Ongoing symptoms deserve attention without assumptions

Some people have fatigue, body aches, or difficulty thinking after recommended Lyme treatment. CDC describes post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome and notes that its cause is not fully understood. Similar symptoms can have other explanations, so a careful review should consider more than Lyme alone.

Your experience still matters when the cause is uncertain. Explain which activities are harder, what has changed, and what you most want help with. A useful plan sets realistic goals and reviews whether the chosen approach is helping.

How Sante approaches your broader care

The clinic's Lyme care page describes functional medicine, individualized testing, nutritional guidance, and practitioner-selected natural therapies. A conversation begins with your health history and existing care, then considers which concerns need further assessment and which everyday changes may be useful.

The center also offers services such as IV nutrient therapy and colon hydrotherapy. Their availability does not establish that they treat the Lyme infection or are appropriate for every person with ongoing symptoms. Ask what a proposed service is intended to address, what evidence supports it, and how it fits with your medical treatment.

Make your next conversation more useful

You do not need to arrive with a complete explanation. A short timeline and clear priorities can help the team understand what has already been tried and where you need support.

• Record the timing of tick exposures, symptoms, and major changes.
• Bring prior laboratory reports and treatment details, including antibiotic courses.
• List medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you currently use.
• Identify the one or two symptoms that most affect your daily life.
• Explain which clinicians are involved in your care and what follow-up is planned.
