Summary
Kasia Vermaire, left severely symptomatic with digestive collapse after Lyme disease was declared "cured" by antibiotics, and at one point contemplating euthanasia from desperation, received an FMT at the Taymount Clinic in June 2018. She reported full remission, and as of the February 2019 forum discussion (about 8 months post-treatment) the improvement was still holding, notably longer than typical FMT relapse patterns (previously around 10 weeks) reported by other patients.
