Needing advice/Mycoplasma p.

Hello All,

Blood work came back today with a pretty high Mycoplasma pneumonia...kind of frustrated because I beat down the Candida and since first being sick,I have been off meds for 10 days and feel "decent"most of the time.

Herx reactions were too bad for me to continue doxy/mino/Azith....pulsed.

So weird due to the fact I actually went to the gym and felt pretty strong this morning....I always crash a tad as the day proceeds,so nothing new there.

I am detoxing like a madman,started Jernigans protocol a couple weeks ago and I actually think it has helped me?

So now wondering what to do next??

Sometimes I feel like "maybeI am getting better"? now not so sure.

Maybe start adding more herbs ro go after this even harder?

Anyway,My eyes are toast now...as you know I can't glare at the screen too long orI pay for it.

Thank you All,

I met a guy in cali at apitherapy conference ..he had to wear welding goggles outside and only one candle inside his eyes were so bad ...18 months od bvt he was outside in cali with just sunglasses .
reminder you and i are in similar boats and similar infections ...one that i have is either toxoplasmosis or proto1953...also cmv loves the eyes ...

i got aome tobrymycin eyedrops and mangosteen has helped ..also spiulina for liver stores of glycogen has helped my periphial vision loss hypoglycymic episodes ...

i learned today mwf pusing of rifampin is ok according to dr h ...
and if naturalbis the way you wanna go then target bart myco and apicomplexians ....one guy i talked to said myco was the only way to stop the muscle wasting aand it took years of floroquinalones and tetracyclines .....

bluelyme,

That's the bizzare part...the muscle wasting has been better,however,then joint issues started?

Interesting.....Ido have MTHFR gene mutation.

Mcspike ..are you going to be pairing with zith,flagyl or alinia ? At least adding probencid to keep levels up?If you got it you got it 3 month of doxy probably didnt phaze it ...if its like c.pnumonia which we all have it is a intercelliar pleomorphic alphabacterium that can take 3 abx combos ,years to eradicate. .sound familiar ..
check out the stratton or wheldon protocol ....

Sorry to hear your numbers are up but great that you are feeling "better."

DS' myco was close to 2000 and now after a year is probably just under the normal range. He will probably get tested again - perhaps next week. He used mino but herxed so much when they tried it daily that he had to chip away at it by pulsing MWF. He quit pulsing all the time with mino and is now pulsing just 2 weeks of mino a month. He is also pulsing for bart and Lyme with other abx.

I do not know of herbal remedies but would like to find some just in case it comes back like all these other co-infections so am hoping someone has some info for us on this. I haven't made time to google it yet.

Peteza, did you use a tincture?

From Buhner's website: (this excerpt is from 2012)

buhner mycoplasma treatment


Cordyceps capsules
Chinese skullcap root
Isatis root
Houttuynia
Sida acuta

The link I gave above has page numbers with reference to quotes from Buhner's Healing Lyme Disease Coinfections, Complementary and Holistic Treatments for Bartonella and Mycoplasma - copyright 2013.

On page 127 of the above-entitled book he states:

"These are the herbs and supplements that will be the strongest and most reliable in reducing the mycoplasmal cytokine cascade. The most important are cordyceps, Chinese skullcap, and N-acetylcysteine."

My Mom has a rare lung disease and the above are what her pulmonary doctor(!!!!) advised her to take. I was pleasantly surprised that a doctor would advise herbs.

.

Cordyceps is a great herb (well mushroom) to take its got many good qualities worth a looksy beyond myco.

The preferred abx for Myco is a Floraquinolone.

Don't ignore Mycoplasma. It needs to be treated just like lyme does and can become a chronic infection. One difference about mycoplasma is that to correctly treat it, it needs to be species typed. There are at least 4 pathogenic species: fermentans, pneumoniae, hominis and penetrans and the best antibiotics vary by species. They are very susceptible to floroquinlones.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae
Azithromycin (Zithromax)
Clarithromycin (Biaxin)
Erythromycin
Doxy, Mino, or Tetracycline

Mycoplasma fermentans
Gemifloxacin (Factive)
Clindamycin (Cleocin)
Levofloxacin (Levaquin)
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)

Mycoplasma hominis
Gemifloxacin (Factive)
Moxifloxacin (Avelox)
Clindamycin (Cleocin)
Levofloxacin (Levaquin)

Mycoplasma penetrans
Levofloxacin (Levaquin)
Clarithromycin (Biaxin)
Azithromycin (Zithromax)
Doxy, Minocycline or Tetracycline

Note that Mycoplasma fermentans is highly resistant to Biaxin and Zithromax."



Hope this helps. It took me many years to be successfully treated for mycoplasma

I wish i knew what sub species i have ? Who does testing ?.

Girlie and Petza.....lung issues...interesting,I have had chest x rays and even a lung function test almost 2 years ago and they cleared me.

The strange part about this,I was running a 5k a few years back and had a sudden tight sensation along with losing my breath and a flu like sensation,I had to lay down after the finishing the race.....back a few years before that I had a hospital visit (all pre-lyme)and the Dr said my upper body muscle fibers looked torn all over and She asked me "why are you destroying yourself training like this"?....at the time 45 years old.

So fast foward......I probably had this for some time and was very dehydrated (guessing...all I have).

People should be tested for these co infections.......door openers to "introduce Lyme",now I really wonder because at the time I was in a very stressed state....lost my Brother in law,Business nonsense and starting to feel "odd".

Sorry for the carry on sentences,experience is here,the llmd later today will want me back on 3-4 different abx and my body can't handle them ,MTHFR gene mutation doesn't help.....herds for a couple months until I see him again.

ps when I mentioned the word MTHFR to a friend....he almost laughed out loud,thought I was being a smart@ss or something,lol.


) to all here r



Thank you all.....useful information needed by many in this situation.
