Since getting bit by a tick on Mothers Day my pulsing routing got a bit out of sync transitioning from Bactrim/Ceftin 2 wk on and 2 wk off to a new Tetra/Alinia/Diflucan protocol on the same 2 wk on/off pulse. After I ran out Bactrim/Ceftin and added Tetra for 30 days straight, I settle back to normal 2 week pulsing. Some old sx returned, some improved, and some fluctuated worse then got better.
The last month or so things have settled down and I'm back close to 90% where I was when I stopped abx all together in March 2015 (continuing with herbals) only to relapse a few months later in late May.
Anyway, at my LLMD appointment last night we decided to stay with the same combo, and she thinks the recent flare up of my spontaneous bruising and blood vessel ruptures in my arms is most likely from the Alinia pissing off some kind of BLO parasite. But these rashes are only cosmetic and I'm feeling pretty good otherwise. So now I will stay with 2 wks on, but then try 3 wks off instead of 2. If I backslide I'll return to 2on/2off. If I stay the same and sx remain low I may try to go to 2 weeks on then 4 weeks off. My next visit with LLMD was pushed out from the normal 3 months to 4 months to allow for a few full pulse cycles.
I remain on Jk Plus and Hout, and the usual cast of supplements full time for good measure.
I know you should go 2 to three 3 months sx free before ending any treatment, but I'm not sure if my remaining sx are from an active infection, or damage that may just need longer time to heal, or may even be permanent and that's as good as it gets. I'm
open to staying on some level of ABX for the rest of my life if needed, just searching for the right combo and schedule.
later,
