I'm on two weeks of tetracycline 500mg/ 3x a day and  amoxicillina 500mg 3 x a day and flagly 250mg 3 x day, I'm doing well on it. I have ulcerative colitis and this is supose to help with this is 3 - 12 months after treatment. I noticed my stools don't stink and that I have more energy, I'm actually cleaning my house after 6pm when I get home and can concentrate a whole lot better!

I like the combo a lot. I brought it to my Lyme doctor although it was suggested for UC flares and he was all for it because it bust up the bacteria that comes in three forms.

Any tried this combo before? Had any luck?

I'm glad you are feeling better, both of you, one day at a time. When you have a good day you really appreciate it. I can't wait for the day I don't think about a darn toilet, or not making it to one or pooping my pants :)

Hi therearemiracles,
I have UC too and will be seeing a LLMD soon who wants to put me on abx for possible/probable lyme based on mostly neuro symptoms and previous exposure. One of the the things concerning me is possible effect of the abx on my UC, so I'm very interested to know more about how this goes for you and any other details like what duration you plan on taking each of these. Also I see you were on iv rocephin weekly, are you continuing with that too?
Cheers

Hi xenophile!

Welcome to the forum! ... If you haven't had a chance yet, have a look at our information thread, "New to Lyme?... Start here". It is located at the top of the forum.

We have several members trying to balance UC treatment with Lyme treatment, so I am sure you will get some input soon.

Hi I switched from oral antibiotics to shots of rocephine and it helped alot! It took away my chronic fatigue and helped with my bloating gut.

I'm over a month off the combo and I thought I was doing better for a while there (never any formed stool) but now it's back to it's old self of UC.

I would however give this a try and my LLMD believes in antibiotics and I would bring in information about different things to try i.e. the combo therapy and he was all for it! So I hope you get to try it!

I would do it again and again if I have to. I have my energy back!

Just an update..this combo really helped me with my energy levels! I work out almost every day, some very light days and other heavier days of lifting. I'm at least moving off the couch. I was laying there the minute I got off of work until the next morning. I really haven't see a great improvement in my UC though and that's very discouraging! I wish the diarreah, bleeding, urgency would stop. Maybe that will follow in the months to come.
