LLmd appt today--month 5

Hi all,

Just had my LLmd appt. I am now 10 mo post bite and 5 mo post treatment. she seems to think we are nearing the homestretch. She wants me to take 1 more month of doxy and add plaquinel. If I am feeling very well at next appt, she'll stop the abx and put me on herbal concoctions for detox and antimicrobials. She mentioned things I've heard of here like cats claw, grapeseed, and worm wood. She wants to repeat my positive lab after some time.

I've been feeling ok. Anxiety and insomnia are my main symptoms as of late.

Let's pray she's right!

P.s. Im not sure if the anxiety is Lyme, my monthly coming or my stepdads stroke. He is improving a bit--took him off brain swelling meds yesterday--praying its not too soon. Helping my mom w finances and planning his care. They've had him standing a bit--a good sign.

worriedinvt,

Sound like you are in good hands and making steady progress!! I believe it's a positive when you are well enough to take ABX out of your treatment plan, and replace them with some natural herbs. Detoxing is a necessary part of the healing process. Insomnia has long been an unwanted companion of mine also, chamomile tea, and melatonin are my usual remedy's.

Best wishes
