Is This Chronic Lyme Disease?

My boyfriend was diagnosed with lyme disease 6 months ago. He was given a 2 week course of antibiotics and got a little better but not 100%. He is now getting worse. His knees and legs are killing him and he barely has any energy. He also forgets so much even when trying to say something! He has been to every doctor and they just pass him off to someone else. I dont know what to do anymore.

There is no way two weeks of treatment would cure the disease in my opinion.  Not even if the started at the time of the bite.  For proper treatment I would recommend seeing a doctor who specializes in treatment of lyme disease.
