I was recently on Riflamp...something, doxy, and flagyl. My doctor wants me to be off of the meds for a few weeks to see what symptoms come back. Meanwhile, I have decided to diflucan and candistat (herbal supplement for yeast). So for the last week I have been pretty miserable, so tired, IBS back 100%, and depressed. (Btw, side note, on antibiotics IBS was completely missing. Just pooped every two hours or so, and was good with that) Should I stop this, I am wondering because it might interfer with a true report of symptoms? What do you think?

I think now would be a good time to focus on detoxing - now that your body has a break from actively killing off the infections, it's time to clean up the mess left behind, I'd say. It's possible that the anti-yeast remedies you're taking are causing a similar die-off reaction (we sort of herx with yeast, too) so all the more reason to clean up and clean out!

What would be the best way to detox?

We have a great post in the "New to Lyme?Start here!" thread that sits at the top of the forum. I believe it's the third post down. It explains most everything pretty well, including a link so you can see what kind of a brush is good for the dry skin brushing!!

Should you have any detoxing questions once you've read through that post though, we would be happy to help you!!
