Hi,
Did the big 4-hour return trip to my LLMD yesterday.
I was on clarithromycin (biaxin) and plaquenil. I had had heart issues, he had me try half doseage, then on my own I stopped the plaquenil and went full doseage on the clarithro and my heart calmed down, and I could see a lot better, so I stayed off the plaquenil.
Seeing him now, as I have pains in my fingers, he is now putting me on a pulse therapy:
5 days 200mg/day clarithromycin
1 day Flagyl 1000mg
6 days clarithro again
3 days Riamet
Any experience with the sort of side-effects I can expect?
Any tips on how & when to take the Flagyl and the Riamet? With food, without food, etc...
He's going to test my liver in 6 weeks.
