Abx not working?

I am not trying to put herbal treatment down Traveler...as you well know...I opted for herb instead of continuing abx.

Oh I know you were not offended....you are pass that I am sure....ha ha ha...I have the highest respect now for people with long term chronic illness. You guys make me feel like I am a big baby, not on purpose but I realize I have little patience with lyme and high expectations with treatments.

If your doctor agrees, maybe back off the tinidazole for a bit since it seems that's when the problem started. Ask her if she's willing to let you pulse it. It's hard to tell what's a herx vs. side effect of the meds. The only way you can tell is if you go off for a bit.

I'm actually back to normal (meaning my normal level of symptoms, rather than the week or so that they were flaring up)--so I'm gonna stay on the tin for the time being.

My LLMD told me to up the detox, so I've been doing charcoal every other day instead of twice a week. Hopefully this doesn't affect ABX, though. But I feel like this could be helping.

Does activated charcoal change ABX effectively?

Well I just know that I'm supposed to take it three hours away from meds and supplements. The bottle says to take it daily, but my doc says to take it two or three times a week. I assume since it's safe to take more often that she's having me take it less than the bottle says because it might filter out some ABX? I took mine daily for a few days just in case I was toxic and now I'm spacing it back out.

Just take it in the middle of the night like when you get up to pee....that u be safe.

I have Lyme disease and it is easily misdiagnosed as MS. That said, I strongly urge anyone who is diagnosed with MS because they have lesions on their brain or spine to seek 2nd oppion from infectious disease Dr. (i.e: Dr. Jemsek, in Washington DC). DO NOT TAKE THE $40k medication(pill) which ultimately paralyzes you and suppresses your immune system causing havoc on your body later on. We are unfortunately in a place that is ruled by drug companies and government that seek personal gain for their self interests rather than help people heal with the simple and inexpensive use of antibiotics. I have been able to treat my Lyme lesions and make a complete recovery and so can everyone else who's untested in exploring the true and proven cure to Lyme disease and the majority of mis-diagnosed MS patients. I hardly ever post anything, anywhere, however I felt the need to share my experience and success with not having to end up in a wheel chair, in hopes of helping others
that might be in the same boat that I was in. You can get better and you can walk again if you have been Mis-diagnosed like I was. Lesions on your brain or spine DO NOT automatically signify MS! After 4 1/2 months of being on ANTIBIOTIC IV THERAPY (Ceftin, Docy, raphamtin, Manila honey , Vit D, and a bunch of supplements) all my lesions and aliments disappeared. I hope my post help someone else's out there who's feeling lost or helpless.Don't this is just chronic infection and once you are able break through the brain blood barrier you will get better. Good luck to all! Warmly, a caring sole.

P.S. Remember you will get worse before you get better. That's a sign that you are killing the lyme spirochetes that are infesting your brain, eyes, etc. When you're on Lyme kill cycle the spirochetes release toxins When they die and that what causes you to feel so sick. You need to flush the toxins out as much as possible. I have infared Sauna and tried to drink lots of water. Long and short of my story is that it worked and I want to help as many people out there that I can . I just wish it wasn't as expensive, so hopefully my insight and experience can help someone without them having to pay as much as I did to get this info. (Program regimn). Send me a personal message if you'd like more details. Ultimately my goal is to get congress to pass the bill to treat Lyme appropriately based on my imperical evidence of a successful treatment.
