It just made me really sick over 200 and I could not tolerate it. I was sick as a dog. I think you have to find a medicine or combo that is right for you.

Hi Tm,

Welcome to the forum! You sure are getting a lot of advice on here. As you can see, it is a great forum for that. I have to agree with someone else about asking around before going to an IDisease dr. In general, they don't believe in Lyme and it can be pretty discouraging.

I was quite ill and had been ill years prior before knowing I was 'ill.' I did oral antibiotics, herbs, and homeopathy. I was only on antibiotics for about 5 months but was originally told likely 1 year. You just never know. Do what you can with what you have!

Read our "New to Lyme, Start Here" thread. Maybe you can start working on making sure you are eating as healthy as possible and start doing a few detox things like dry skin brushing and epsom/h2o2 salt baths.

Lyme disease, in general - is not a quick fix. My guess is your PCP is concerned because of how ill you have become and that they really don't understand that 3-4 weeks of antibiotics isn't going to 'fix' you. I did have an immediate positive rxn with antibiotics but I had quite a long wait for the llmd.

How long do you have to wait for your next appointment and did the dr give any advice on what to do in the meantime?

I'm not a doctor but my opinion is to stay away from all antibiotics!!  You already said your colon is not working.  If your gut is not healthy (which gets destroyed from antibiotics), then the rest of your body is falling apart.  Every part of our body is connected.

It also sounds to me like you have toxin overload and need to do some serious detoxing.  Get those poisons and toxins out of your body and you will feel sooooo much better!!

In the sticky thread on top called "New to Lyme? Start Here!" there are detoxing instructions.

Get in the habit of taking a detox bath at least 5 times a week and please dry skin brush your body before getting into the bath.  I don't know what your diet is like but maybe you should rethink your diet.  Processed foods are the worse.  Start reading books and learn about detoxing and herbal protocols.    Perhaps start looking for a Lyme Literate Naturopath Doctor.

I hope this helps,

Denise

Thank you for all the info! I am looking into the detox stuff, I think y'all are right. Because my colon doesn't work and my galbladder is not working I literally eat unseasoned meats and rice everyday all day. No gluten, dairy, fruits or veggies. I had a bite of green beans the other day and almost ended up in the hospital I was in so much pain ;(
Do y'all have any advice on that? My doc says I need to have my galbladder removed but I can't have surgery at this point bc the surgeon and my LLMD is not comfortable putting me out at this point. But I have to get to where I can eat healthy foods. I went from eating well above suggested servings of fruits and veggies everyday to none. I could easily be a vegetarian I love them so much. But I can't even handle juice now.
